Not sure if this has been mentioned in other forums... but i'm almost 100% sure i just saw a Sportivo on the ad for ACA tonight at 6:30 on channel 9 (Sydney). Its going to be a story about high powered cars etc... it looked like they had the sportivo on the race track giving it a good work out.. spinning at high speed etc.... i could be wrong... but it looked like it on the ad.

Check it out if you get the chance... it might show a couple of clips of it... or it could just be the intro. I'll record it for those who don't get to see it. (if they show anything).

Wasn't really worth it, well for the sportivo factor anyways. It was about TV commercials and their influence on teenagers... there was one with a corolla (either sportivo or levin) shown where they show the corolla going at a decent speed then just throwing it sideways... but it lasts like 5 seconds or something... I never saw the ad on TV so it must have got rejected or something. If anyone wants it i can post it up... but its really not worth it if you only want it for the corolla factor.

When the current shape Corolla was introduced in late 01/early 02, they had an ad where a sedan, hatch and wagon were travelling through the countryside towards each other and when they came to a junction, they all hit the handbrake and spun in unison. I'm a bit of an ad nut, but I don't remember any others with Corollas spinning.

ACA is on in a few minutes here in Qld ... I'll check it out!

Bubbha, you hit the nail on the head... that is exactly the add they used and there were many complaints at the time that add was released and a big reason why the commercial standards board for motor vehicles was set up... There was also one on the new Holden Ute which was the main concern of the story.

If you ask me, people that drive like fools, are going to do it regardless of the way the vehicle is portrayed in an advert...

I know I am guilty of some tom-foolery when I am on the roads, but not because of any bl00dy ad on TV, its because this is the way I am.

Lets look at the reality of the situation. Certain groups of people wanted the Holden ad *****-canned because the dude was doing circle work in it. I could almost guarentee that 80% of the owners of holden utes, especially SS & Maloo utes are going to want to do some circle-work anyway...

It appears to me like another situation where there is a small group of people that don't have anything better to do with their spare time than complain about something.

The article portrayed I believe a young girl's life that was lost at the hands of immature driving. All I can say to that is that perhaps the people that taught the driver responsible for this incident, be it the young girl or other, should be held accountable for not correctly showing the driver some basic common sense...

When I am a fool in my ride, it is usually on the back roads by myself, not doing doughy's in suburban streets...because of a silly TV ad...

My suggetsion, if you don't like the ad, turn your telly off....

Thanks Buddha..

It's like video games and violence, the worlds most violent people have never watched a violent movie or played video games with a little blood in it. What could be blamed for the Boston strangler, 'PONG'

I thinks people need to realise that people behave and act in ways that are in their nature and are set their long before they see TV ads. Let's take car ads out of the equation and look at the negative influence from other ads...

'McCain Pizza's' make me want to try tight-rope walking on a fishing line...

'Pork' makes me want to dance around the city like a tool...

'Libra Tampons' make me want to waste my wife's supply by playing with them with the cat...

'Bonds Shirts' make me want to strip off in First Class...

'Dri-Nights' make me want to wet the bed...

Like I said, let's turn off the telly if we don't like it.

Geez, isn't TV for "ENTERTAINMENT"

      Insurance

      Yeah, kind of what I've been thinking, but due to how bad the drivers are through Chatswood and those areas I'll probs ensure it with someone like AusPost who have the cheapest insurance and will insure me but I will definitely get the cameras you suggested thankyou so much

      Insurance

      If you've answered all their questions honestly & tried all the majors then there's nothing you can do other than find the cheapest quote for 3rd party because that's the minimum you need to be out on the roads. Some 3rd party insurance will also cover your car up to a small amount ($3000) if the other party is at fault & they have no insurance. Because you will be driving around with no insurance for your own car, I suggest getting quality dashcams front & rear to cover yourself incase of any claims you need to make against someone at fault. I recommend the viofo A129 pro duo https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/295468431227 Start getting quotes again for comprehensive insurance, once enough time lapses to have confidence answering those licence disqualification questions without needing to disclose. Usually 3-5 years after the fact....

      Insurance

      Hey guys I'm new here I've run into a pretty major issue, I've just bought myself a 2007 aurion sx6 as an 18 year old red p plater who commutes to sydney city daily around 165km round trip (six days per work) for work. When I was younger I got done with some heft demerits and was given a police suspension (Dec 2022-Feb 2022) in court the judge ordered my license to be canceled (hence the red P plates at nearly 19) and I was suspended again in December of 2023 until March 2024 when I got caught by a camera doing 6km over the limit in the tolls tunnels (stupid ik) - and just before I bought my car I was T-Boned on my motorbike not at fault but a claim was made, most insurers are flat out refusing to insure me and the ones that don't refuse quote me around $5000-$6000 for full comprehensive. Have no family whose insurance I can be added to and as an apprentice I really can't afford $5000 for insurance. I know all of this is a result of stupid decisions made when younger - but if anyone has any helpful tips or advice it would be greatly appreciated I have been on the train for the past 3 months and it's a 4 hour trip each way so kind of need this sorted

      Ticking Hilux 5le

      Hi all, got a 2004 diesel 4x4 Hilux with the 5le motor in it. 250,000 kilometres, i’m the second owner and have had it about 9 months. Since I bought it there has always been a constant ticking noise while driving (anywhere over 1200rpm) but not while idling. Does it while accelerating, maintaining speed and decelerating. No real impact on power and I get about 12.5L per 100km. I never worried about it too much but it’s starting to ***** me off a bit. I’ll link a video below, any clues what could be causing the noise?

      Toyota Echo Mods.

      Thanks for the post Aldo. Googling echo upgrades lead me to this thread and now I'm a member. I definitely hear you. I've been looking in to turning my 03 Echo in to a soft roader. I bought it for 2k (clear coat was cooked) back in 2021. I managed to lose my license in it within first 3 weeks. I HUGELY underestimated how much up and go it has. Although on fresh tyres, previous owner went cheap. In the wet, driving hard, I was spinning until 3rd gear/ or around 75kmh. Have been playing around with it, looking at suspension upgrades, bash plates etc, even a snorkel 😂 but best I've been able to come across so far would be swapping suspension and wheels from a Jimny or similar. Would require a bit of custom modifications and therefore engineering certificate etc. There already seems to be some great posts in here. Definitely suspension and air flow seme to be the go. Since we have the old cable 🚠 based throttle, unfortunately we can't do drive-by-wire. I was introduced to that by a workmates 06? Hilux 4x2... That thing pulled *HARD* just from changing the mode selected on the DBW. V6 obviously but yeah. Definitely following this thread and gonna pop the air filter next 👍🏽 👍🏽

      Wheels for Hilux

      Hi, I'm hoping to buy a good second hand set of wheels for my 98' Mk 4 Hilux single cab. Does anyone know if Mk7 wheels would fit regarding the offset please? Thank you, Best, Daniel
