Shell commercial
« on: January 26, 2015, 11:00:15 AM »

Ostensibly they're selling fuel but the cars used in the video steal the show.
Ferrari pulled several of their race cars from various ages out of storage, flew them around
the world and filmed them running through the streets of Rome, Rio, New York, Hong Kong,
Honolulu and Monaco and the Sea Bridge in NSW.
The best part is the sound from the basso-profundo notes of the early, front-engine era,
each scene cuts to a later generation, ending with the wail of a modern F1 car.
Even if you're not a revhead, this video will stir the soul.  There's something about 3 litres
and 14,000 RPM!
Just imagine the red tape, permits and cost to pull off this commercial.....

A quiet one, in keeping with the ST's modesty!      :-(((

I like the quiet most of the time, BUT, once in a while it would be nice to flick a switch and let her growl, hear the echo off buildings in a quiet town at night or through a tunnel - hmmmmmmm
