Interior. Long shot of the back of a kid's head. We see the big-screen
TV where the kid is playing a video game. As the camera slowly zooms
in, we see that the game is crash 'em up, 'see how many collisions you

Think about it." Then something about their new safe car, yadda
yadda.

Whoever does Hyundai's ads is creative. It was effective.

I didn't suggest he should get a Hyundai - obviously some sort of Fiat
Multipla would be a much better choice.

A mate of mine had a Maestro EFI. Happy memories of making progress in
it between RAC Rally spectator stages.

Also of driving one round Silverstone club circuit on a 'Racing School'
try out day.

I had a 1.3L as a company car - put 36k on it in 16 months, mostly M4/M25.
