Waddumean by "not downloading"?
By clicking your link, the video is visible on youtube streaming.
If you wanted to embed it in your post, you should have typed "(youtube)1A-4oaumYC0(/youtube)", but using square rather than round brackets.
The result would have been as follows:


That aside, funny video indeed.
But how any marketing folk might think to suggest that by buying their stuff you would make yourself ridiculous as a result, that's beyond belief... :ambivalence:

Can we do a bit of spot-the-boat on the closing image from the video?

The starring boat looks like a Sunseeker Predator 108; to the right of that is a Princess V65 mk1; to the right of that is (I think) a Fairline Targa 43 (with unusual colours); what are the others?

That might just be one of those UK / IT cultural things... ;)

I think the target audience are meant to recognise themselves having such a barney whatever happens, just that it's rather nicer to be doing it in an £x-million boat in the Med than a shagged-out beige Mondeo in a rainy Tesco's car-park :p

I agree the boats you've named Jimmy. I think to the left of the hapless sunseeker you have an old princess 23m then a Fairline phantom (perhaps a 46 but not sure). Still further to the left and round the corner (in 0:21) is a princess 67 I think. The big boat far right that looks like a ferretti custom 112 line in your screengrab isn't. It has been dropped in by photoshop -you can see it has a missing flybridge and radar. (Also it isn't actually a ferretti 112 anyway). If you look at 0.16 there is a predator 84 (I think) and an Italian stallion behind it (new Mangusta? - not sure) in that location. They must have had to take those out (for privacy reasons?) by dropping in the amputated f112 lookalake for the final few seconds. That was a tripod scene so it was easy to drop another boat in.

Does anyone know which port that is? Looks nice. I guess it is in spain because the princess 23m has a Spanish courtesy flag, but I don't know where exactly. Not balearics, I think

Could it be the entrance to Mahon (sea to the right)? On the left of the pic it looks like some boats moored on a mid-river pontoon, as they do in Mahon. Just a guess.

I think definitely not Mahon - I know that one very well. Come to think of it, it is imho Soller, N Mallorca. General geography of the place looks right, though I don't know Soller very well (have anchored in the bay but never gone into the port).
