W116 on Brazilian TV

[Martin280s]

There is a new mini-series on Brazilian TV about women over 50 who refuse to 'lay down and get old'. I haven't seen it myself but one of the characters played by Suzana Vieira has a W116!

I just love to listen to the Brazilian version of Portuguese

Why is that?

Why is that?

Because they talk slower and they tend to elongate words and sound more sexy...

I watched part of it (and did not understand a word) but did not see a W116 - do they actually show one in the video clip?

Yes they do, towards the end and just before the character played by Suzana Vieira gets intimate with her driver...thus the need to show the W116!
Go to about 4 mins and you start to see teasing shots with the car in the background then, the lady cruising along the 'Carioca' coast. There's some pretty scenery too.

I found the initial dialogue most interesting - they were arguing over who was to sit in the back seat with the driver. Unsatisfactory premature ending, just when things were hotting up nicely. The car - nice blue, manually operated windows, and still an attractive conveyance on Rio's roads.

The often used picture of the statue overlooking the sea isthe obvious landmark. Regards Styria

TBH, I watched it with the sound OFF! So I haven't a clue about the dialogue and, yes, the obivious Rio imagery. Brazilian TV does get exported worldwide so the best scenery has to be sold too.

Martin, you missed the best bit - the dialogue . "Soap" at its most eloquent. Regards Styria

BTW - just what is life like in "Samba" Brazil - I do recall you mentioning some important changes in your life regarding your profession, I recall your trip to the 'Old Dart' (UK), but what's happening to you these days ?

Do you lead the glamorous life that Ronnie Biggs used to live and, let's face it, he became quite a celebrity despite, or inspite, of his notoriety - you know, glorious Brazilian beauty, baby on the way etc. etc. - we should really have topklasse adopt a more personal character ! So, do you have any sins to hide, anything exciting in your life ? I am all eyes and ears, Martin. Regards Styria

N.B. Oh, by the way, merry christmas.
