Car Forum / Ferrari Cars / February 2007Ferrari to close down London!
Anyone know when they've scheduled to be in NYC? http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns18000.html JANUARY 26, 2007 Ferrari to close down London! The City of London is to be closed down next month to allow Shell to film a new TV commercial to promote its long-standing sponsorship of the Ferrari F1 team. The advertisement, which is reputed to be the world's most expensive, with a production budget close to £2m, will see Ferrari F1 cars racing through a selection of the world's most famous cities including London, New York and Sydney in order to promote Shell's V-Power high-performance fuel.

CGI for the other cities perhaps?

Had the thought myself: I imagine the roadway interface is the hardest to integrate, so just pick a few representational roads somewhere, shoot b-roll, and let Apple do the rest. >T308 >(Who would never drive a Ferrari through NYC....)

Shell has to do something with the record profits, I guess using money for firewood was getting old... >Anyone know when they've scheduled to be in NYC? > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >famous cities including London, New York and Sydney in order to >promote Shell's V-Power high-performance fuel. Thanks. I was wondering why our fuel prices keep going up, despite the drop in oil prices.

Crap. So then it wasn't Schumacher who helped Ferrari, it was me all along ? I can never show my face here again... ;-) SignatureRegards, Frank >>Anyone know when they've scheduled to be in NYC? >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Thanks.

That's wrong Frank, they are dropping and have not seen a rise for many months >>>Anyone know when they've scheduled to be in NYC? >>> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >That's wrong Frank, they are dropping and have not seen a rise for many >months The oil prices have been steadily dropping for months. At the start of Jan, we were still paying 1.19-1.22 here. Then it went as low as 1.04(for 2-3 days, a week or so ago), this just after quite a bit of huffing and puffing from the media on the findings of the petrol price watchdog. Then by the end of last week it went back up to as high as 1.13. Don't know what the price is today, but i bet it's not 1.03. According to all the gurus, the price should be around 90 cents at most, yet... SignatureRegards, Frank > The oil prices have been steadily dropping for months.

That's Just the Duty yea? I'm currently paying 87.9p/l for diesel so that's about USD$1.71 isn't it? That aside do we actually pay VAT on the duty? So when "Gordon Blair" put up the Duty 1.25p last year it actually went up 1.46p? Tom >> The oil prices have been steadily dropping for months.

Our duty is well above 1/2 of the pump price once the federal and state governments get through it all. The service station's profit was around 14 cents on a litre when it was selling for only 78 cents some years ago. There may have been some changes since, but i'd think it'll still be close to that percentage-wise. All in all, we are only whining because we are used to low priced fuel. Just as the Americans are. We've always had substantially cheaper fuel than you guys in Europe. Partly dictated by our long distances i'd say, but probably also because we do produce a large enough quantity of oil ourselves(though not necessarily for ourselves). >I'm currently paying 87.9p/l for diesel so that's about USD$1.71 isn't it? Last time i've looked, diesel was around A$1.50 or something here in Oz, when petrol was 1.20-ish. It always amazes me how a byproduct of refining crude oil into petrol can be sold for more than the bloody petrol. Maybe it has gold particles, i'll try and fossick a few litres.. :) >That aside do we actually pay VAT on the duty? So when "Gordon Blair" put up >the Duty 1.25p last year it actually went up 1.46p? Dunno, but i don't think you should be paying VAT on duty. AIUI, the duty is based on the already calculated VAT(GST for us) inclusive price and is just tacked on.

Ole Gordie doesn't miss a trick, including ensuring that the *cheaper* fuel carries sufficient duty to make it more expensive to the end user than the *expensive* fuel. Well, I think we have some of the most expensive gas there is. In Mammoth Lakes, CA, gas is currently 2.89 for regular unleaded. It went down 3 cents the other day. That is the first price change (except for the escalation for the holidays) since the summer when it was as low as 2.70 > >>>Anyone know when they've scheduled to be in NYC? > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > Regards, Frank Well, I think we have some of the most expensive gas there is.

That's about $3.63 per US gallon! Steve R. > Anyone know when they've scheduled to be in NYC? > > http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns18000.html I contacted Shell about this story. They confirmed that this advert filming will be taking place, but "for legal reasons", can't tell any more about it, when it happens etc. etc. |
