haha that's true the longer version does bring it in its poor and stupid context haha. Still a terrible ad.

I drive an Audi, can I still be your friend?
watching the adds and reading the comments got me thinking about this war thing. people who drive bmw are inded at a silent war with those that drive audis. but the thing is that i think those adds really dont apply to people like us that know the inside and out of the cars and all they are capable of. i would say that if you know the technology and the reality of the situation we could be above the stereotypes and just admit that sometimes either audi or bmw make a better car.

If that Bentley ad is real, than it really takes the cake!
Is it?
I believe that above one is real indeed. However have never seen it in a magazine

It wasn't an ad.
It was just a Christmas card which Bentley sent Rolls-Royce after the brands split up.
