garcon magnifique Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Wayne, "I'm not driving a fvcking Matiz!" really isn't the way we'd like you to greet one of our main sponsors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I think it's safe to say a HUGE amount of money must have been offered to the club. Can't wait to see the obligatory press shots of 'designer-branded' Rio Ferdinand leaning on a Chevvy Matiz and trying to look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 What a comedown, free RS6 or Q7 to a volt :roflmao:seriously though I guess they could get a ZR1 Corvette which would be fun but can you imagine the carnage on any bends around Cheshire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 They rarely drive the 'club' cars anyway. It's well known that Wayne Rooney's Audi A8 was photographed after a year with 27 miles on the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP27 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 It's well known that Wayne Rooney's Audi A8 was photographed after a year with 27 miles on the clock. He's old enough to learn to drive though, isn't he !! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinspark Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I foresee lots of Camaros, Corvettes and even the odd Captiva turning up at Carrington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I suspect they'll just bring the Bentley's and Ferrari's instead - and say "sorry gaffer, the Chevvy wouldn't start again." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Will they be removing those fancy heated Recaros with the Audi logo from the dugout and replacing them with scratchy cloth ones with no bolster support and nylon seat covers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be like the old seats on Top Gear! However, ZR1's and Camaro's are now known simply as Corvette's. So...... no! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinspark Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Eh? - they're clearly 'Chevrolets' on the Chevrolet UK website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garcon magnifique Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Not even Jason Plato drives them any more... Maybe they'll stretch the Chevrolet thing to GM when it comes to players' cars. Then they can all pick up a new Escalade to replace the one(s) they already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) The link up here is becoming more and more obvious by the minute. Yesterday the club website announced they'll play a tour of China again - in the Shanghai stadium, sponsored by Chevrolet, in the "Chevrolet Cup", supported by DHL. Who are the clubs new training kit sponsors? DHL. See the logo of Gigg's shirt... The marketing department has clearly been very busy in the past few months because everything that is anything associated with the club is now emblazoned with DHL already. The new home shirts are fecking awful too. Easily the worst home shirt they've ever had. Take a look at the new kits...they've not had a very good reception. Training kit is much better... Oh and I bet Evra and Hernandez were really chuffed at this advertisement film shoot... Edited June 1, 2012 by MrMe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Poor Giggsy, they're really putting him through it... ..and they're roped Robbo in too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Oh and DHL have now released their new TV advert! I can't believe it...they've managed to get Sir Alex into it too. All I can think is that there is some serious amounts of money coming into the club as a result of this. I bloody well hope so! 2s9cUBweF0U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) ..and Wayne saying it is "really exciting". Watch and cringe... p.s. watch it all - you'll see how happy SAF is at the end. vTrVpj3RESk Edited June 1, 2012 by MrMe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser647 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Give me lots of money and I'll endorse Tesco if need be. I suppose, this is how it works in the States.

NewNiceMrMe Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 It's very simple really. Give somebody enough money to piggy back their brand and you're in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Sir Alex Ferguson expects high standards of his young players and just last week banned all of his under-23s from driving flashy sports cars from new club sponsors Chevrolet. As a gesture of goodwill, Chevrolet immediately offered United's first-team stars a choice of luxury cars. And unsurprisingly, many of the club's big names plumped for the 198mph Corvette supercar. However, Ferguson immediately intervened and decreed that no player under the age of 23 - no matter their standing in the team - should be allowed to order a sporty model. This means players such as young striker Danny Welbeck, 21, and defenders Phil Jones, 20, Chris Smalling, 22, and Rafael da Silva, 22, will be banned from driving anything not approved by Ferguson. Instead only the more experienced drivers, such as Rio Ferdinand, 33, and Ryan Giggs, 38, will be allowed behind the wheel of the £32,000 sports car.

NewNiceMrMe Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 It's far from the first time he's done that. Cristiano Ronaldo panned a Bentley and a Ferrari and received some fairly 'hot' words from SAF. He had someone take Rooneys Bentley from the car park once too. They drove it to the dealers and asked for a price on it. Then, when Rooney asked where it was, SAF is rumoured to have said "It doesn't f*cking matter. I'm taking you home and we're going to have a chat son.". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) I guess this was an accident ... Manchester United star Paul Scholes had his £30,000 car stolen after he left the engine running while defrosting it on his driveway yesterday. The 38-year-old former England midfielder had gone back inside his home while ice melted on the windscreen of his Chevrolet Captiva LT 2 Estate. yeah right Edited January 29, 2013 by Andy_Bangle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
