I don't know if this has already made the rounds on the forum, but a friend sent it to me and it's pretty great.

Shell Oil commercial, AWESOME!!! Enjoy!!  Great video of Ferrari Grand Prix cars on city streets. Can you just imagine the red tape, permits and cost to pull off   this commercial?  Not to mention the problems of clearing all of those streets and roads!!! 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 gear head, this video will stir the soul. There's just something about 3 liters and 14,000 RPM!!! Ferrari Shell Commercial High Quality
