[Mgs] Fwd: Rendezvous in Paris

[Barrie Robinson]

>Some of you might not know but I was in Paris that day !

>>>
>>>Some of you have probably driven down these Paris streets and took 
>>>hours - you will not believe this guy.
>>>
>>>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 early in the morning . 
>>>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. If you haven't seen this before it is a 
>>>classic, if you have seen it I apologize, but it's still a 
>>>classic. Turn on your sound and enjoy
