RedRobin Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I regularly watch 'Neighbours' and spotted Elle turn up in a black Mk5 GTI too . Obviously the GTI was cast as the car a successful young lady would drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Firstly, I'm sure I'd be sacked from work if I was to finish in time to get home and watch Neighbours, and secondly, Neighbours???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Sad to say I am up to date as its on in the office at lunch time as they arrange dinner time round it for the staff. Sad really and we got a nice quite short break from it when the BBC moved its slot. Until 5 put it back in its old slot. She still took his money Lied about how she was going to die, does not ware a bra on the five neighbours advert etc etc does not come across as believable or a very good actor, a sad character. I also don't call 2 stories and parking in her bosses spot as a 'conscientous journalist'. You may have also noticed the lasiters(sp?) company cars are all Audi's and often VW group cars that are in vogue creep into the show the beetle did when it was the in car. What the hell am i talking about bloody Neighbours for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzGTI Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 That's it... the GTI has to go. I was thinking there were now too many around here. Can't take a trip and not see at least five. But with the car being on Neighbours, well that's too much. What was wrong with putting Elle (who ever she is) is a Mazda SP23 or a something like that? Why did they have to ruin GTI cred.

RedRobin Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 .... It's just TV 'soap' and is the only soap I watch if I'm around. I usually watch the lunchtime broadcast but if I miss it, the teatime repeat. It's the sort of prog that if you miss a number of episodes it doesn't matter. I used to watch "Dallas" but again I dislike the UK soaps such as Eastenders, Coronation Street, etc etc. But why are people unwilling to admit they watch such telly? Are they concerned what their friends might think of them? Does the same apply to the car you drive? The 'wrong' image you feel you need to project?

OzGTI Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 It's a cultural thing. I wouldn't be caught dead watching Neighbours or Home and Away (I had to stop for a minutes to think of the name). I don't know what it is - maybe its not a sufficient escape from reality for me. Afterall, Neighbours is produced about 10 or 12km from where I live in Melbourne. On the other hand when I'm in the UK I'll watch some of your soaps. I can't follow Corrie, but have looked at Emmerdale, and Holby City and that sort of thing. Even here I watch the Bill on a pretty regular basis, and lst face it, it is one step removed from soap. Still don't think the use of a GTI (even a slightly slower black one) does much for the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
