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."   Kccyclone Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 11:17 am:        Really cool video, that guy can freakin' drive!   Skyguy Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 12:29 pm:        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.   Blackbelt Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 12:31 pm:        Previously posted.. see here http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/4062/166152.html only problem is it was mounted on a Lalouch's Mercedes sedan. see pic in post MYTHBUSTERS HERE WE COME!   Patrickh Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 05:43 pm:        Great film, I have driven those streets, awesome.   Spiderman Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 06:49 pm:        only problem is it was mounted on a Lalouch's Mercedes sedan. see pic in post MYTHBUSTERS HERE WE COME! I sill belive it was a Ferrari, Just cause some one shows a pic with a camera on a Benz doesn't mean it's true...   Sleez Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 06:54 pm:        some interesting reading concerning this controversy; http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2005/Rendezvous.shtml http://www.jerrykindall.com/2005/11/07_cetait_un_rendezvous.asp
