Road Tax Advert

What do you all think of the new road tax advert featuring Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? I thinks its only being shown in the North though, can anyone confirm this?

Hang on, this was on months ago(in the ITV1 London region anyway)!

It was on years ago in the London region, and everywhere else for that matter.

Ah I see I have my information completly wrong then anyway what do you think of the advert?

Been there...seen that.

I'm sure I've seen a few recent tax disks following a completely different design. Have they changed the design again or have I imagine it?

Little fact, the ad was filmed in Australia - the creative agency thought the countryside in Victoria looked more British than the British countryside (cheek)

They have... the text is bolder and colours deeper.. look vile!

Well its only just been on in Granada Land.

Well on Granada Land in Prime Time it's only been recent, but I think I have seen it overnight on ITV1 sometime ago, as that is where ads of the same nature end up. Though I notice that these ads have been used on the back of buses as well as TV, I think there's been a radio campaign for it too.

I know it's supposed to be, but that guy scarily looks like Dick Van Dyke.

Though the new Tax Disc, some cars have got them, though some for 2004 seem to have the current style.

My Mum's tax disc has the 'now' design on it but I saw a car with a disc lasting a few months more, it was purple with gold numbers. weird, it caught my eye, and I thought they were a bit ugly too.

I've seen that advert ages ago. It does nothing to dramatically improve my life so who cares

The new design tax discs also include a bar code which i assume holds all the data once the DVLA have processed the forms.
