All I'd have to do is zip from Eastlands to the quay. A 30 second trip in peak hour!! I've been rehearsing though ;-) It’d be a much shorter film around the Bellerive CBD!

I suggest a re-make: The car: 9-3 Viggen The setting: Bellerive CBD The driver: A large-ish man with spectacles and half a goatee I'll supply the camera.

I'd never heard of this film. I'd always wondered why someone hadn't done this (put a camera on the front of a car and drive illegal mad speeds through a city). I counted about 20 red lights he ran. I can't believe he wasn't t-boned by traffic in those intersections. I've never been to Paris (or anywhere in Europe for that matter), but I hear it's congested with traffic. I would think that it would have been that way even 30 years ago. I'm guessing that this was filmed at dawn. The light levels, the light traffic, and the presence of garbage trucks would support this theory. My guess is that the car was one of those cool old Citroen DS. ;-) But from a site I found they claim it was a Ferrari 275 GTB (http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2005/Rendezvous.shtml) and they even use physics to figure out the various speeds of the route.
