The USMC Shadow isn't as new as you think!

For quite some time now the USMC Shadows have been bugging me, as they reminded me of something but icouldn't quite place it, until today!

its an old volvo 760 estate with a new lick of paint and some rocket tubes on the roof and a new bumper!
sorry i couldnt get the picture to come up
this is a different one, the first is the same colour to a shadow as well!

It deserves its Safety Rating, though. The last game I had the Shadows all got cacked and every Marine being transported survived!

You only just recognised it..... Its the IKEA military upgrade kit for the 760.

I think we just dated ourselves. You by making the joke, me by laughing so hard at it. :mrgreen:

Still a great film though.

am i missing something? which film is everyone talking about?

 

[Lorcan Nagle]

isn't it "Buy a Volvo. they're Boxy but Safe"?

(Valen - the movie's called Funny Business. Dudley Moore plays an ad writer who's committed when he can't stop making honest ads)

dont remember that volvo advert. actually i dont really remember that volvo.

too young to know that film too but seeing as its dudley moore i'd imagine its very funny.

 

[Lorcan Nagle]

Valen - the ad was one of the ones Moore' character makes in the movie. and I made a mistake, it's actually called Crazy People

Slitting hairs I know but the line is

"Volvo. They're boxy, but they're good."
