Breaking the (jelly) mould

Conventional wisdom says that car ads should conform to specific sets of rules. Or so it would seem. Winding roads, perhaps a music track that has been appropriated emphasise how rebellious you are or sophisticated, or funky or... (insert - vacuous description here).

Thankfully Fallon in London have come up with a new recipe and if it doesn't make you go all gooey about Skoda then nothing will.

In my case nothing will because I will never forget the night of my school ball. I was 15...the woeful Skoda Sabre I had borrowed to transport my date broke down...in the rain. Not a good look. Sharon Whitaker never spoke to me again. Damn you Skoda!...damn you all to hell.

That's an order.
