Well its been a while since the last whatsthisthen?

Try this one.

Here is a script from a car advert from the 90's
Joanne......there's something you ought to know....
It concerns the house, the kids, everything really....

...What exactly are you getting at?

Its time to go it alone, I'm starting my own business
John's with me, Ian's with me, and we've got the backing...

....Oh David, That's fantastic!

There's...em...something else...The company car's going to have to go back..

...You're not being a bit..hasty about this are you?
This is "Joanne" having a chat on her carphone while driving

Anyone remember it and what car it was supposed to be promoting?

Regards Neil

Spot on Mike! It was the line "John's with me, Ian's with me and we've got the backing..." and the smug look on "David's" face as he was delivering it that had you swearing at the TV every time it came on!

"Joanne" in the Renault advert is Rosalyn Landor, the "Gold Blend" lady is Sharon Maughan who is indeed Mrs Shoestring.
