Good Advert

Hope this isnt a repost

Here's a link to a Shell commercial shown in Europe. Ostensibly, they're selling gasoline, 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. No computer graphics---these are the original cars on the original streets.

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.

The sounds alone bring a tear to the eye. Even if you're not a gearhead, this video will stir the soul.

There's just something about a 3 litre engine and 14,000 RPM.

This advert, or a slightly shorter version of it, ran it he uk a few years back. Puts pretty much every other advert to shame.

Have seen this countless times and it never gets boring. It was ran on tv a few years ago and also on repeat at the top gear live show. Great cars, great scenery and great noise. Enough to make James may's fizzy thing go off.

You don't really need the video, its good enough with just the sound. Ace advert.

Great advert, we need more of these interesting adverts rather than the dreary stuff that is usually on.
