I used to love that damn thing, probably the best result of Honda's existence. Thanks for finding it.

Seen it before, but how do the tyres role up hill, and why does the exhast pipe roll over 9 times?

<DIV>Carefully placed weights inside the tyres. You ever push a milk carton with about 1/3 of the milk left? It slides, stops, then slides again, thanks to the weight of the milk inside. Perhaps an effect such as this?</DIV>

That could explain the tyres rolling up hill, but no matter how many cleverly placed weights you have, I don't see how the exhast can roll over so many times.

I've had a high-res Quicktime version of that commercial on my computer for months now! One of the few commercials I actually like...

I figured it was such a cool advert it would have been on worldwide to
be honest :smile: We get shortened versions of them (there have been a few
of them) on TV but in the cinema its great seeing the full ones.

Down here, they only showed that ad on TV once - the car isn't available here, but the guys who made it thought it was so cool that it just HAD to be shown. They were right.
