That bloody golf ad.
Discussion
A while back, there was a golf advert, where everyone in it said, 'Yeh, like a golf.'
I was thinking about this this morning on the way to work and how it used to enrage me when about halfway through the ad, there was a scene that had 3 lads in a garage leaning over a bodykitted purple Mk3 Golf (might have been VR6, but can't remember), with the bonnet up and one of them goes, "DOHC blah blah." and his mate replies, "Yeh, like a golf."
It used to send me into irrarional apoplexy, "IT IS A f
kING GOLF YOU " etc.. Can someone explain to me why I'm being stupid and didn't 'get' the ad?

Not sure if this is the bit you're referring to....

In the "Just like a Golf" advert, not all the cars are VW products.
The police car in the background of the scene where a witness it being interviewed by a copper is a Vauxhall Astra Mk5.
The car beeing hooned around a racetrack is actually two cars. The interior shots are of a current-shape Honda Civic, and the exterior shots are of a BMW 1-Series 5-door.
The "Barry boy" car is indeed a modified Mk3 VW Golf Mk3 (as previously identified by andrewaudi).
In the scene where the car salesman is trying to sell a black car, I'm pretty sure the car he's demonstrating is a Peugeot of some kind (5-door 206 or 307, I reckon).
According to this forum
It's this car:
Which is obviously a Fiesta.
