140MPH (225KPH) through the streets of Paris

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...88008488190547

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 ... all » 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.

lelouch: i bet you couldn't do it

driver: fuck, you know i can

lelouch: ok, 2 more riggs, another g of hashish and we do this

driver: as long as it isn't raining.

edit:it doesn't look as fast as 140mph. further searching reveals top speed of 140km.

I mean, what else would you do with a car like that? Drive up and down robson with your music blasting?

Hence why I said that.

I'd rather a 6.9 Litre Mercedes to a 1.8L Honda Civic Ricewagon though.

i can name 5 off the top of my head in vancouver. just because richmond has the stereotypical culture of street racers, or so it seems doesn't mean it's the place to race. in fact cops in richmond are constantly on the crackdown, so in reality the reverse is true.

hop on revscene and you'll find that folks get the majority of their VI's (vehicle inspections) in richmond. legal or not.

Here's another good one that's been around a while, Ferraris, Lamborghinis (several types) on highways in/around Amsterdam. Sound is legit except music was added.
