If people want to download the ad to keep and are not sure how just follow these steps-

1. Go to http://keepvid.com
2. In the text box paste the YouTube link- http://youtube.com/watch?v=2kd2mMa0KqE
3. In the next box where it says 'Any site' choose YouTube.
4. Then click Download.
5. A 'Download Link' link will then appear. Right click on this link and say 'Save link as' for Firefox or 'Save target as' for IE.

And then the ad is yours to keep forever.
Also the ad downloads as a FLV file so you will need a FLV player to watch it. A free player can be downloaded at http://www.download.com/FLV-Player/3...-10505954.html

Hope this info can be of some help for people wanting to download this great ad!

Love the caption, closed cornfield, professional driver. Good to see that they still have a sense of humour over there.

Loved the XR Ute add, and the Steve McQueen one is also very nice

That's an absolute cracker of an ad! Beauty, looks like Ford does have a creative side when the marketing department lets them!

I’ve found this Ford ad from South Africa. It seems that they have a sense of humour over there as well.

South African ford ute commercial

Sorry, awful add. I want to go out and buy an XR8 ute because it's driving through a town full of beer? It doesn't sell the car at all, apart from a few odd angles of the badge, you'd probably still be hard pressed to know it was a Ford add.

Don't want to open a can of worms but does anybody know what the engine noise is from? Sounds like a clevo to me.
