This has been going around my head for weeks now.

So the premise is family in the states are relocating across the country somewhere and place an add for someone to drive the car, which I think was a Saab 900 convertible, to the new location. Much comedy ensures and the car gets trashed more and more on the way.
Any ideas?

That's does ring a bell but no name comes to mind I'm afraid.

Wrong era but right car?

Sideways?

Sorry doesn't sound correct though, however the car does get battered.

Yeah it’s moving with Richard Pryor - we dug it out when we bought our 900

I wonder if the forum could help with a game I'm trying to remember?

Underwater, small species of people, in tiny submarines collecting tin cans, bottle caps (huge to them) that float down from the surface.

Sort of like Wombles on the sea floor.

It was in 3D.

Late 90's early 00's could be PC, not sure.

They could make a start on this; it’s on the bottom of Challenger Deep, around 10,800 meters down. It looks like a Heineken bottle. *sigh* 🤷🏼

I had a girlfriend in the 80’s, school-years romance. She was up on all the films and chose what we’d see. She never missed a beat, but I can’t remember half the titles. Am I being nostalgic to think that films were better in the old days?

Yes, plus puppy love.
And if it was anything like me watching films with girls in the 80s, while their parents were at work. It was was because it was VHS and chill.

I think generally you forget the mediocre and remember the good, the same happens now you'll forget all 50avengers films released this week.

I do think we get bombarded with more shite though. The streaming services are pumping out filler like no bodies business.

But Barbie and Oppenheimer were both great.
