check this out; http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2851488008488190547&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." | ||

I must be getting old. Although I can respect the drivers skills I think he should be locked up for at least twenty years. The whole time I was watching I kept seeing motorcycles, pedestrians and red lights. Even when I was a full time asshat I would have never ridden or driven like that in a place that put others in so much danger. Like I said I must be getting old. | ||
