Oh I remember that. It was a very well done ad for a 240 that went viral a few years ago. Sooo well done, art simply for its own sake, but I'd guess it helped get a few extra dollars/krona.

"... equipped with a curly exhaust..." :lol:

Those would be fun to see!

I just walked by a nice looking silver-blue late 240 wagon in student housing. Nice shape, turbo wheels, stickers all over the rear side window.

It's on the same channel, but it's really inscrutable to anyone who doesn't speak the language.
