Request To Use My Supra For Add?

Just had somebody at my door asking to use my Supra in an phone commercial, the company is legit, will contact director, it was his sister that called, anyway i am slightly tempted but in all i think it may be more trouble than its worth, as its at short notice, IE next week, not too far away, but i was surprised that all that is offered is expenses, so basically i use my time to drive there and back, my petrol is covered, and i get food, and just be happy that my car is in a commercial:rolleyes:

Just wondering what other peoples experiences where as I'm sure i have seen somebody post about similar?

I would 100% want paying

No chance i would be doing that for free.

Will draw attention to your car, the question is whether it will be positive or negative.

Whats the ad for?

You may aswell do it if you have the time? oh! make sure you have lobster for lunch and a fillet steak for dinner!

Exactly my thoughts, i am wondering about sending an email and see if they are prepared to make it worth my time.

plus a full tank of v-power

Also you know how long film shoots take. You could be there all bloody day, sitting around waiting for your car.

You should definately get paid for it.

They usually start really early in the morning too. Don't know if getting up at the crack of sparrow-f@rt is your thing.

didn't 'the real hustle' do this on TV, they went round a guys house and asked him if they could use his car for an advert or some type of thing for TV and in the end they managed to steal his car.

First off I'm not that gullible, i have already checked out the company and have now sent them an email, basically telling them that without offering me a sensible renumeration, they are taking the pee;)

As already stated it puts a spotlight on yr car, dont like the idea of that, i concur that ample remuneration should be agreed 1st, they will get lots

Do it, why not? I would.

Just looking through your garage, nice car pal. If they will offer money do it, You could be the next Fast and furious.

same here, do it!

You could be the next Fast and furious.

And that could exactly what he (and a lot of other Supra owners) would not want.

If you have the time and want to stand around all day (and night??) in the p!ss!ng cold, on a film set- why not? Then watch the cut advert feature your car for about 1.5 seconds.

If you've not been on a shoot before then I suppose you may enjoy it

You could be the next Fast and furious.

Noooooo!

I have also been on TV and know exactly how long they can take;)

Still waiting for a reply to my email.

You should definately get paid. They want to use YOUR car, and YOU will have to drive it there in YOUR OWN time. Everyone knows time = money. They want your time and effort, they better be willing to pay for it.

If it was a job for a friend, then that's different, you're helping out a buddy, but for some random company that want's something of yours for their gain.. I'm afraid I'd want a generous offer.

Finally got a reply, saying thanks for the email, but we now have a car, surprise surprise!

and there was of course a budget for this, LOL!

let me guess, as little as we can get away with, cheapskates:p

probably didn't like my email saying that they would be wasting my time if i didn't receive a fee;)

They probably thought that they would get some little chav jumping up and down to get their car on TV, however if they have got some little pug, its not going to give the add much credibility, as it was to portray more mature people using mobile technology.
