That was pretty good.

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

The name of that site ought to be gullibert.com. Fake. 100%.

Hardly anything matches the audio. The acceleration doesn't come
*anywhere near* a 0-100/10 sec. time. He's running through the gears
and the engine is screaming but the rate of acceleration hardly varies.
I've been 140 mph and that footage ain't even half of that.

French buses and other traffic must average about 100 mph too. I'd be
surprised to find out the "Ferrari" ever tops 60.

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

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)?

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...

Real.

When I saw it on videotape, it did.

Do they ticket anyone for speeding?

Why was there no wind noise?
