And Scott, you were saying something funny recently about FL being the home of "Large Print Edition," pavement markings or some such thing? |

Film of Ferrari driving at up to 140mph through Paris
I have seen that film before. However, my understanding is that the car
might not actually be a Ferrari but Claude Lalouch's own Mercedes-Benz. The director has never revealed the names of car and driver to this day. Not even the gendarmes tried and tried to extract the detail from him. So much urban legend and so much rumours about that film that we don't know what is true and whatnot. Mr Lalouch also chose the ideal time of the year to film during August when Paris is almost a ghost town with massive exodus of residents to the seashores and other holiday spots. I found a probably best explanation and story behind that film he http://www.jerrykindall.com/2005/11/...rendezvous.asp wrote: > A short film from 1976 where a camera is mounted on the front of a > Ferrari driving at up to 140mph through Paris > > http://www.glumbert.com/media/rendezvous.html > |

He should have driven through Italy. Italian police do not ticket nor
bother to chase Ferraris for speeding. Not an urban legend. I have seen this first-hand on the A1 between Bologna and Milan. |

I thought you were talking about pavement markings in that post. Did you notice some of the pavement markings in the video (not just the crosswalk markings)? |

That film must have been shot at 5:30 AM on a Sunday morning > or something... It did look like early AM (or maybe late PM) to me too. And this was in the '70's, so that might have had some effect on the traffic level... |
