I smell a conspiracy. Dean is right - this video has been blocked in Canada. It can't be a mere coincidence that the video is blocked in the country where that taxpayer-funded financial disaster was built. Probably so we don't let any other government back an auto manufacturer so heavily. Oh wait... maybe I'm too late... The one legacy of the Bricklin SV-1 (apart from the odd one still seen around Saint John where they were built) is the creation of the verb "brickled.' As in screwed over financially. "Man, we sure got brikled by that furniture salesman."
I could only go 4:36 on the Bricklin family "home video". I'm sure it all turns out good in the end but that opening "marketing meeting" is a template for every bad client/agency meeting I've ever been in and those never turn out good in the end. At least I can see that Malcolm has the right stuff when it comes to picking a logo--a trait he shares with many a highly-compensated CEO in the big boy car biz. Pepper/flyshit can you tell the difference? I know, let's ask the anointed one! Far removed from the halcyon days in the ad biz lionized by our friend Bertel.
Bummer, neither does it work in Germany
Yes, well. Here's a Bricklin-related video that'll work everywhere in the world: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzvmPpXTAqM It would be nice if M. Bricklin would just go away.
