The term "Carlos Fandango" can now be used to describe anything that looks impressive but is otherwise impractical or dysfunctional. Ha ha ha hee hee ho ho ho  I rest my case! I seriousy cannot stop laughing about that. Thanks The Mexico issue is still going on. - Its getting serious. Be prepared (and then Cry a whole lot) Thats what I say. Me xx |

For a real Carlos moment you will need a cool long cigar, Moustache and a rally jacket...
"Happiness is a cigar called Hamlet" Those adds where cool as well as the Martini adds with leanord Rossiter and Joan Collins, Sorry if I am off thread....Ian

Jean Pierre Lunni? Was he the skiing guy? Name rings a bell but the grey matter has failed me. |

OK I admit defeat for the time being, I have spent hours searching for a picture of the Carlos Fandango Anglia or a copy of the advert with no joy  I have however had a great time finding some of those old adverts that used to be on the box, and as this is car related thought I would share this one with you Hamlet Ferrari Advert  |

nobody likes a smart A I know, so I am about to elevate myself into a new level of unpopularity but......Carlos was actually a character invented in a London ad agency (Y&R) in the 1970's to support the Panama Cigar brand when it first launched under the 'six appeal' strap line. The idea being that although Carlos looked, acted, and drove like a twat, he couldn't be entirely stupid because he smoked Panama........
I will just go beat myself with a stick for a while.

You're right, he was the skiing guy, who managed to ski past a tree, one ski either side of the 60 foot high pine tree.

Talking of Carlos (as we wern't) whats our 'Most Favourite Bond Moment' Only where cars are involved might I add! (Before we all get excited!) I think I just had mine, Spy Who loved Me, white Lotus Esprit. Oh and Barbara Bach. Which just shows what a saddo I have become. I now HAVE to admit that I am sitting in on a (rainy) Friday night, in (sunny) Jersey watching James Bond films. However, good idea (or most probably not) for the thread. Me xxx

Oooo.... I saw my first ever Bond film in a cinema in Jersey. It was "Live and Let Die" in 73 I think. We were on holiday at the time. |

Oh?! Well I was born in 1970, if that's any help? Have we ever worked out the collective average age of members on the forum? Smokie - would you be the right person to ask this question of? Hmmmm.. I will move swiftly on to ... ERM..  Me
