For Formula 1 and Ferrari fans
Here's an amazing ad made by Shell. Be sure to turn up the speakers. It's supposedly the most expensive tv ad ever made.

Best commercial ever

If you like that you should buy the Victory by Design DVDs, lots of lovely sounding drives

Must buy Shell V-Power from now on.

Remember that Enzo's personal car was a Mini, and what he said about the Jeep, calling it "America's only true sports car."

Yes but Enzo Ferrari also derided the mid-engined layout, saying that the “horse should pull the cart, not the other way around” - he wasn't perfect

I believe he also didn't trust disc brakes. Or was that Mr. Porsche?

Ferrari was late to adopt disc brakes on its cars. I suppose having Jaguar eat you alive at LeMans was a good incentive to switch. Long live the C-type and D-type Jags.

Yup, that was Enzo. He let everyone else see if they would work and then started using them when they proved themselves.

That video is pretty awesome. I wouldn't mind owning just one of those cars

Can someone extract just the sound file and loop it for me? That way I can play it while I'm driving.

Great!!
A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to get a ride around Sears Point in a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO. My first thought was " And I thought these things sounded great from the OUTSIDE!".

There is nothing that sounds like a Ferrari at full scream-they are so melodious and angry at the some time, like a high spirited, beautiful Italian woman when she's so angry but is also lovely!
