Wasn't as good as some of the previous issues...

Anyone know where I can access an archive of the fake manufacturer's banners?

Could do with them for a presentation!

Thought it was back on form, TBH.

The Piech as Hitler, Bag of bits Ebay purchase of MG and M-B trying to ditch Chrysler on the QT were quite excellent examples of parody by metaphor.

It certainly appealed to me, especially the VW bit, and the BMW ad is perfect.

O/T - but did ANYONE (apart from Dieter Zetsche) think there was ANY way the Chrysler-MB thing would work at the time?

Talk about emperor's new clothes.
