Thank you []
Well said Aldo - there is a niggling thought in my head that if the film had been made with a male in the driving seat, it wouldn't have received anywhere near the same number of vitriolic comments (Rebecca was under severe attack on another forum - but defended herself well) - NOR would it have received a fraction of the "hits", so I guess it has to be classed as "job done"! I say that the more female Porsche enthusiasts we get, the better - I'm still buzzing from the day my wife actually stated, without any prompting, that my car was "sexy".ORIGINAL: Aldo
With a my online marketing head on I think it is a good piece of viral marketing, good looking petrol head girl and a good looking car will always keep the attention of men (Try to find a man with a pulse under 95 that does not know who Vicki Butler Henderson is) which lets face it are probably 90% of the market for this type of car.
She did great as a presenter (almost as good as a pro) and maybe the errors are just her or whoever put her up to it being smart because anyone who knows car forums would know that twice as many people will comment on your post if you make a mistake as will if you don't and the more comments a thread gets the longer it stays at the top of the list.
Anyway it is more interesting than reading another oil thread,

I would like to think that any Porsche enthusiast would be welcome here, male or female and regardless of how much knowledgle they have, we all start somewhere. I suspect you have run into a bit of grief in this instance because it did look like a blatant sales attempt from a dealer, but with typos and mis quotes in the film which I guess we don't expect from dealers.
As you say this is all very human and I guess without access to decent editing tools it must be hard work to make the film come out right; hey its hard enough standing up and talking to an audience with it being filmed whilts driving and needing to get it correct.
I think for me I would like to see a bit more detail and information about the car but I suspect these things are never easy.
That Merc SL on your website is very pretty that would like nice in my garage. I notice the handbrake is in a strange location though, if that was a manual (if they made them) it would have make hill starts interesting.
It would breach club wesbite rules for a trader to use the forum to sell their products.Even IF it was a blatant sales attempt what would be wrong with that?

That Pagoda is absolutely stunning!!! That is probably sold, customer coming tomorrow - buying for his wife. It is an auto yes like most mercs but apparently there are one or two manuals knocking around - VERY rare though.
Even IF it was a blatant sales attempt what would be wrong with that? It may be the dream car you've been looking for...OR if you're in a Porsche Owners Club you probably drive one already and if you're looking for another one you probably will look in Car and Classic, Auto trader, Piston Heads etc like most normal people - being enthusiasts you would know where to look.
Yes you're right about editing tools comment but then there's people that criticise and people that "do".
Dealers can't make mistakes? I'm pretty sure the DVLA didn't turn me in to a robot or a superhuman when I got my trade plates!!! ... "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". You have typos in your post I'm afraid!! We are all human welcome to the club [8D]

Thank you, luckily I haven't got a beard [:-]
What sort of cars do you sell? Where is your stock list I would like to look if that's not against forum rules...[8|]
