Default Shell Ferrari Vid

I know....this is non-Porsche related, but you have to agree that the vid, especially the sounds is pure aural harmony.

How I would love to drive through Times Sq. like that!

Cool commercial but interesting what the announcer says at the end -
"Shell V power, Ferrari fuel FOR THE ROAD".

What does that mean? Seems like the ad agency or the execs could have come up with something better than that!

Also, I think thats a black Fcar "nodding" to the formula with the alarm - thats a cool touch.

Yes. That is the Scaglietti.

Awesome! Thanks.

Also, there is a link below the video where you can sign in and Shell will mail you a set of free Ferrari stickers. Great for the tool box!

I just got my confirmation e-mail. They sent me a link in case I have some friends that want some stickers too. So here it is:
http://www.shell.com/home/us-en/html...nfirm_Email_US

Here is also a link for some cool wallpapers and screensavers...

As one of the resident ad guys, I'll tell you that's one of the most delicious pieces of film I've ever seen. To your question, you witnessed the hand of the retail marketing execs forcing the hand of the motorsport guys. Trust me, if it doesn't tie back into "the road," (gas stations, dealers) the "motorpsorts" ad doesn't get produced.

Besides, this thing will be overdubbed in a dozen native languages for markets that care about F1. They might be able to slip in a more enthusiast-oriented line. Here in the land of NASCAR and NFL, we'll be lucky if we see a :30 second version late night on Speed, which won't be nearly as "epic."

How can I save that clip to my hard drive? Can't find it on Shell's website and don't know how to save off of Utube.
