Sometimes you come across something that is so brilliant it just makes you want to jump up and down, yell, play air guitar and do all manner of slightly embarrassing behaviours. That's how I felt when our friend Josh from GoDogGo Racing turned me on to this AMAZING commercial for Shell.
It is simply the best automotive commercial ever made. Film buffs will see the references to C'était un Rendez-vous and to Steve McQueen's LeMans and John Frankenheimer's Grand Prix. There is a SuperSqualo, there is a classic Nurburgring jump shot, there is Chris Amon, Jackie Ickx.... It's a Ferrarista's orgasm.
That's it I'm only buying Shell gas from now on!
Here is a large sized, not compressed by YouTube version you can save to your hard drive. Enjoy.
