Commercials Featuring Star Trek: The Next Generation Cast Members

They're all so young (except for Wheaton near the end). Jennifer Hetrick (Vash) was in a recent as a middle aged woman. How'd that happen???

This is completely off-topic, but I notice in your avatar that you are at Auto Club Speedway (formerly California Speedway). I'm assuming you were there for one of those events where you can either ride or even driver a race car (be it an open wheel or stock car). I know that the track also holds historic races. Are you there in your picture for one of those. I'd ask if you were there for one of the NASCAR or IndyCar races, but I would have recognized you.
 
A couple months after I posted this video, I realized I had missed some (although they weren't posted on YouTube until long after I posted my video). It was promos for the show on TNN that had Marina Sirtis (three promos) and Gates McFadden (one) talking about their characters. They were similar to the Me-TV promos for TOS that have Walter Koenig and Nichelle Nichols.

The OT answer is - damn, you're perceptive! Our daughters gave me the Mario Andretti racing experience as a Christmas present in 2011 and I took the F1 option the next fall. Had a top speed of 157 and had a blast except for the bruise on my right upper arm (I'm sure you'll understand). Thing is, I'm not really a car racing fan but have always loved to drive and the girls correctly assumed this would be a prized gift.

Further OT, my daily driver is a '99 Ford Contour SVT which I once ran up to 138. Could have probably hit the 143 limit but it would have involved passing a semi and that didn't seem like a good idea.

What can I say, I'm a racing fan.
 
I'm not sure if you're doing a comprehensive list of all adverts they've ever done or just a random collection of some of them but Patrick Stewart did a few voiceovers for Money Supermarket in the UK for a while.

I used what I could find on YouTube, it could be possible that they weren't there at the time. Could you provide me with links to the video(s)?

Picard pitching Porsches and Pontiacs ... preposterous!

fitting as the transport kind of sorta looked like a trek shuttle (mainly the style in 5)

I remember the phone company one with the TOS cast when it was first on

putting strongbow over ice seems weird to me. I like it cold but I don't think I'd want it over ice

Rented a Pontiac Aztec some years ago, and it looked like a shuttle. Drove my wife bug-crazy due to four days of "shuttlecraft to Enterprise ... shuttlecraft to Enterprise" or "shuttlecraft to bridge, ready to launch" leaving a parking space, or "shuttlecraft crew, prepare to debark" when we parked.

Seriously

There was a bit of a fad a few years back (at least in the UK) of drinking 'premium' ciders over ice, things like Gaymers and Bulmers. I don't think it's as popular these days though.

Strongbow isn't a premium cider though, it's seen as very much the 'bog standard' cider, one step above White Lightning, sold in 2 litre plastic bottles for 3 quid especially for the alkies...

The ultimate 'car that looks like a spaceship':
