[Fot] Fwd: Shell/Ferrari Commercial

[jkhagen at charter.net]

I thought they should have used a Vintage Triumph Race car-1] uses the 
gas they are trying to sell 2] relates to more people 3] actually sounds 
better -except for the first Ferrari-4] you would be able to read the 
sponsors names on the side of the car [going slower]!  John Hagen
ps-at least I didn not waste your with "like" :)
