What else are you going to do when you have a freshly restored $50,000,000+ ex-LeMans Ferrari around? Drive it all over a locked-down London of course. listen to that V12
Ride eternal, shiny and chrome

Crank it up and when you watch it the second time see it you can count the number of red lights he drives wide open through
(actually it was a Mercedes 450 SEL 6.9 with a camera mounted to the front and a Ferrari 275 GTB dubbed in for engine sound.......funny how they dubbed in a few missed shifts )

^^^ Yup. One of the most beautiful sculptures of all time, to my eyes. And a proper soundtrack to match. Not sure I'd be comfortable on those narrow streets full of parked cars, but glad he was.
I think the best-sounding Ferrari V12 of all was the 333 in that Euro Shell commercial some years back. But the nastiest, chainsaw-from-hell, pulse-quickening, 12-cylinder of all time is the Porsche 917. Not to discredit the old Matra F1 V12, which sang a full octave above normal F1 cars of its era.
