Arrow I love the sound of a Ferrari in the morning! WICKED FILM TOTALLY INSANE!!!

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...7&q=lelouch%3E

On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a
gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend,
a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart
of Paris. The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the
course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre
Coeur.

No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.

The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH
in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly
hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets.

Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested. He

has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went underground

until a DVD release a few years ago

Thumbs up Re: I love the sound of a Ferrari in the morning! WICKED FILM TOTALLY INSANE!!!

Just watched it.

Reminds me of a clip from a bike that was buzzing through some European town at insane speeds.

The sound of the Ferrari is intoxicating. Gotta love the downshifting.
