[Robert Duquette]

I received this from our local MG club.  I agree that the sound is great!

OMGC Folks (especially those who really enjoy racing and speed)

 

I received a note from a friend of mine who is a member of the British Car
Council and a bit of a racing fanatic. He sent me an internet link to view
some racing cars in a Shell commercial. You may enjoy it. Here is what my
friend, Scott Morris, said about the clip:

 

"Here's a link to a Shell commercial shown in Europe. They're selling
gasoline, but the Ferrari's 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 and Monaco. Apparently 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 and later
generation, ending with the banshee-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."
