    Dude Congrats for being on petrolicious with your 208. Beautiful shots of your car and as a fellow designer I can not agree with you more on the finer points of bertone's design. The vid with the camera on the far boot is fantastic. Nice work. How did you get in contact with them?

    Saw the video earlier today and enjoyed it very much! Congrats on Petrolicious documenting your car in such a memorable way. That opening sequence reminds me of Steve McQueen driving that Mustang in Bullitt! Great shots!

    Thanks! I just emailed them last year about whether they planned to come to NYC any time. And basically I helped them to do a few other interviews while they were here--such as the one with the Stratos owner--to sort of make it worth their trip. Basically ever since I saw their Countach video I thought they (or specifically Josh Clason, the videographer) really have an amazing artistic eye for what is great about these cars, and I wanted to have the world see the GT4 in a new light thanks to their artistic vision. I think (and hope) that we achieved that.

    I really enjoyed the video and loved the homage to the opening scene of the Italian Job at the beginning. Heading down to Bear Mountain Bridge if I am not mistaken.

    Great video, I think they get better each week. Funnily enough I contacted them about whether they plan to come to the UK. It's on their radar and hopefully I'll do a video with them on my Daytona sometime in the future.

    Fabulous. You express the same sort of sentiments and enjoyment I have with my 308. Great piece, lovely car.

    Beautiful. I'm about to be a father 2x over. Maybe there's a GT4 in my future until I can get back to regularly enjoying a two-seater.

    I read some of the youtube comments - i think it was invented for people to hate - brush it off, they don't matter. You stated very clearly why you appreciate the car.

    Liked that a lot.

    Didn't get too flowery with pseudo-poetic waxing. Just a hint goes a long way to give the video a touch of class. You walked the line and stayed on the good side. Beautiful car.

    The instrument cluster on these cars really is slick-I think that all the time-very cool to hear you mention it. I guess they could have added a volt gauge but they didn't want these cars to be too practical....right?! Great car.

    Loved the video. I really liked your way of describing the ownership. Professional filming and SOUND!

    Great video, congrats! Nice to hear the 208 sound with good recording quality, not very often that most of us get a chance to hear one. I like it!
