See that cloud of smoke, thats how rubbish Shell fuels are.
Now if that had been an ExxonMobil product...

That must be the Fiat Punto with the Ferrari engine conversion I have heard so much about.

Now if that had been an ExxonMobil product...I'm 99% sure that the fuel he took was formula 1 racing fuel. How could that be "rubbish"?

The dude's really stupid; once his engine starts to use that fuel his engine isn't going to work whatsoever.

I'm pretty damn sure it's fake. Why would Ferrari leave one of their F1's lying around unattended and not even covered up. Looks like they used a real size replica of a Ferrari F1 you can get at http://www.f1showcars.com/formula1carforsale.carracesimulator.html for racing simulations (with the computer screen above the steering wheel). Looks pretty cool but VERY EXPENSIVE :eek: :eek: :eek:

OK, the video is an ad put out by SHELL themselves it's at http://www.shell.com/home/ferrari-en/html/iwgen/downloads/video/speed/app_speed.html
There is a good chance that could be a 'real' Ferrari as Shell Motorsport are the fuel and oil supplier.

I thought it might have been Ferrari trying to lure out some tecnology thieves. Alas, all they got was a gas filcher:D

The thruth was given away in the first second of the clip, the Punto makes the characteristic sound of a diesel engine, so the rest is pointless :)
