That was great, thanks for sharing! The same sort of thing for Budweiser would feature a 1978 Chevy and a double wide trailer, racing to Gatlinburg. This version is classier.
I liked the sights and sounds. Pretty cool.
Well done, really enjoyed it. Great sounds too. Thanks for sharing.
I want the product until I remember the price on JW blue. I just can't remember how big(750,1000,1.75L) it was for $180.
Whatever that product is, and whatever it is used for, I want to purchase it and begin using it immediately.
Very cool
was the girl driving a fiat dino spider?
Good enough advertising to make me wish I liked scotch
The cameo by Mika Hakkinen was a nice touch.

I am pretty sure the answer is yes.

Did you miss Jensen Button? He was the pilot.
And he's the driver in the fiat for the JW shorter commercials.

So I watched this and even while I was watching it, I noticed that there is a terrible timeline error or oversight.
The start of the bet is that he has to be at Monaco by Noon tomorrow.
When the driver then does leave the garage the older guy reminds him he only has 20 hours left. This means that he is leaving the garage at 4:00pm.
It was just earlier in the day that they made the bet and they sealed the bet over a drink.
What time was this? It would be good if it was Noon (drinking before noon may be looked down upon) but the sun was up so at the earliest lets say it was 7:00 am. This means from 7-4 or in 7 hours (maybe as few as 4 hours) the driver managed to get the car back to road worthy. This is a car that claims to not been driven in 40 years.
Further notes:
The driver never drinks and gives away any alcohol given to him.
The old man is drinking as early as 7am and continues to make poor judgements that even result in him loosing his prized car and entire villa.
This does not mean that I did not enjoy the story but rather the story had a few holes in it. IT may have been better if the bet bet was for Saturday by Noon and we were not given a indication if that was 1 week from now or 1 day from now. The story would have still been good if the premise was that it took him nearly a week to sort the car/order/make parts.
And I am all out of Scotch at home.

I think the premise at the end is that they continue to make the same wager again, and he probably wins it all back.
The only parts that really bugged me were the kitschy stuff like the oil squirting in his face and the backfiring, and the fact that the forty year old tires survived the trip.
I loved it! I think I'll watch that in loop to motivate me whenever work on my 30's boattail speedster stops.
