Ford & Car Sales.com offer free cars...but there is a catch

SEZ213 · 24-05-2011, 07:21 PM

Was looking through the Ford site (trying to find out which piece of machinery I can't yet afford...) and came across this!

I thought this was as good a place as any (but mods feel free to move to Focus forum if you feel it's more appropriate)

So I need to make a 30 second video about the VN Commodore. Easy done.

I have a decent video camera, and I reckon I could find someone to be a cameraperson easy enough.

But who in Adelaide has a VN I can borrow just to do the videoshoot with?

You don't necessarily need a VN - you could do a photomontage with a voice over...or you at the beginning and end and photochop yourself into VN's...the more 'interesting' the better.

The only limit is the imagination...

My only problem is getting everything I want to say into 30 seconds.

Then again, it doesn't take too long to say "VN's Are Horn!"

But I want it to look half serious so I do have half a chance as well.

What could you possibly say that's positive about VNs?

"They're fully sick uleh bro! I can, rip da, sikest skids beah in da maccaz carpark uleh brah!"

DoreSlamR · 24-05-2011, 11:00 PM

How about "VN's are so awesome even an XF Falcon can smoke it!"

..oh wait...

The VN V6 was a joke! Didn't the XA 250 make slightly more power, and a heap more torque?

GTpilot · 24-05-2011, 11:14 PM

you'l be pushing it to get a VN to last for 30sec.

grandpa_spec_F6 · 24-05-2011, 11:15 PM

"My VN, it's heaps sick bro... I just rev it like BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM and selected D for maximum respect, I spin that diff like it's it birthday"

P.S. Wear a flanno, if asked why you're unlicensed, make sure you inform the officer that you just "dun got mah jetski license", there must be at least 3 mismatching panels.

That's a safety feature. If a VN could run for any more than 30 sec, the engine's harshness would probably shatter every bone in your body.

I have an SS motor at home I am looking to sell for $6k, do you want it?

This is going to be so much fun, making this video!

grandpa_spec_F6 · 24-05-2011, 11:42 PM

Bro, I could buy like 10 VN's for that much, and go to abc wreckers and strap a MAC truck turbo to it, then wot is ur sss motor going 2 do... bro

If you do go ahead please please please keep us all informed!
