Vintage Video Vendition: My Countach has a Tape Deck

Alpine sure had a killer advertising campaign back in 1986. What part of this video doesn't sum up 1986? It's pretty much a time capsule of 21 years ago.

One final note: what happened to the manila folder? He makes it to the train, but did he leave his paperwork behind?

I know what happened to the envelope: "This envelope will self-destruct in 2 minutes...."

Awesome. The sound of the starter on the Countach couldn't have been more poorly chosen.

Something like this happened to me in a tan (sorry, "Kalahari Beige Metallic") BMW X5 once.

That is cheesy, even by 1986 standards. Looks like an ad for a local retailer, rather than Alpine itself.

A shame the Countach looks like crap nowadays.

TimA - Well, really, it IS an ad for a local retailer; that much is obvious.

I'm in Winnipeg, I remember this ad playing all the time. Definitely pretty cheezee.
