Further explanation of the theme, as described by rambo793:

"Although it had already left quite an impression on me when I heard this masterpiece from
Phil Collins back when GTA Vice City Stories came out, it had a greater impact when I came
across it in Miami Vice's first episode.
The scene it was used in, with Sonny Crockett driving that '72 Ferrari Daytona late at night
with his partner beside him, lost in thought, troubled, in conflict with his mind while this number
played in the background all added to the emotional depths of the character and the series.
So this week, I want you to take a look at that classic scene and recreate it however you see fit.
Since GT5 is missing the Daytona, I wish you all take your Black Ferrari California's with
their tops down, to SSRX at night, and live Crockett's moment."


CAR: Ferrari California '08.
LOCATION: Special Stage Route X.
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: Night time shots ONLY. Also, the California must be in Black.

Very great theme Sean. And this video remind me how special this serie was. the work on each plan, on the edit is so good. Michael Mann has given this serie a great character.

Hope I will have enough time to make something for this comp :)

"It was real...wasn't it...?"
"Yeah it was"

I will always remember this scene. Michael Man is the man :-) Nice theme 👍
 
Really glad you're all loving it. Had this in mind for a really long time now and always hoped I would win a CCCL just so I could put forth this theme.
"It was real, wasn't it?" , there was just so much to this particular scene. It's a shame the film didn't feature the original cast and turned out the way it did.

Anyway, every single one of your entries is outright beautiful. Wonderful work 👍
 


Competition Now Closed. 13 Entries, which is a good thing, all of you get a go at the poll. Really beautiful work, every single one. All the best and glad you loved the theme. :) See you folks around.
