Bad Bad VW towing advert

Postby Heath » Mon Jun 11, 2012 7:01 pm

Just seen the new advert for VW's and it showed them towing stuff with various models and bugger me, they also show the ute with a strop over the towball towing a tractor.

Shame on you VW, you should know better!!!

Yeah I realise the shock loading probably does the most damage (like a bouncy track maybe) but if you saw the advert and didnt know...

Only Vw tho, wouldn't expect too much from them.... :lol:
