I just watched Avatar.
Very few French cars in that.
None, in fact :twisted:

Very much enjoyed the car/van/wagon sequences. Not a dog lover meself, but Snowy came across as definitely appealing.
Excellent :-D Delighted you enjoyed it... The sword-fight using the dock-cranes at the end was just simply inspired.,. I see a little of Gromit in Snowy...

Ahh :)

The tiny bit of Avatar I've seen I recall some rather attractive young ladies in a blue sort of a way were present. That's a good enough reason to watch it for me.

"acquired" the tv series of the Flash from the early 90's recently . Just stuck on the pilot and thought I saw a DS. Sure enough, a quick google. http://imcdb.org/vehicle_45543-Citroen-DS.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Gets blown up :(

I found a DS in the most unexpected place just now, in a Vauxhall Astra Mk2 advert (I still want a Mk2 Astra Estate and a Mk3 Cavalier one day). I'm rather fond of Vauxhalls 80s TV adverts, they made some crackers!

I was expecting the spurned lover to give them both barrels of a sawn-off.

(and then take the DS off the taxi driver after throttling him)

Anyone got links to 'Nicole' and 'Papa' from way back when? God, what was the car in those ads? Renault?
