Made me LOL this morning.

Ford have taken a load of billboards on the A4 into London, just before Earls Court.

One of them features the yellow Mustang but would you believe it, it has a pinched bonnet! :)

I checked the other ads (google image search) and they appear to have been retouched, but the LED billboard must have slipped the net.

I would have taken a pic, but it's not easy when riding a motorbike ;)

So take a close look at the LED billboards (it may not be the same on the paper ones) if you want a chuckle.

I'll take a look when i'm next in the bullring, they've literally just put up a gigantic banner that says 'UNLEARN' with a massive yellow mustang on the front of it, in the bullring next to Victoria's Secret, unmissable! But will look for the pinched bonnet on it, if it's go it, big fail!

I'll also check the Broad Street digi banner that's up and see if that's not been retouched :lol:. Could be a bit of a marketing team slip-up, or they intend to have the cars sold with a pinched bonned (Joking)

Yup that's the one - big yellow Mustang on a yellow stripe.

It's actually honest advertising as we all know they come with the bonnet like that :doh:

Yep probably all the same ones, i'll check when i'm next in the Bullring for it, broad street is a bit closer to the office :cheers:.

But to my knowledge i'd assume they'll use the same posters everywhere across all channels that's a typically corporate thing to do. So the one in the bullring, should have a pinched bonnet, i'll try and get a picture as well when i'm there - Might look like a twat taking a picture of an advert :lol:


Indeed, at least it is honest, oops! Todays blend day for me, so we'll see if mine is built and has a pinched bonnet in a few months. Maybe they've fixed the flaw... unlikely :headbonk:

It's a great advert....FORD have certainly taught me to "unlearn" being optomistic about delivery of my car:frusty::rant:
