Not a serious rant, but this is just something that annoys me.
Adverts' for cars that have a silly statement like "The drive of your wife" but don't actually tell you anything about the car.
Adverts' for a different car than the one actually shown. (Top of range model shown in video but price is for bottom of range car.)
Adverts from car manufacturers trying to persuade me to buy a left-hand drive vehicle.
Adverts from car manufacturers that are closing UK plants but still want me to buy their cars.
