{It is a large file; I recommend saving it via right-click and getting on to other things while it downloads. It's worth the wait, and would really suck streaming.} {Plus, this is the sort of video you want to put in the archive.}

Someone else's description:

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. 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.

My description:

Holy sweet lovely fuck. They didn't even sell me a seat, and it's a good thing, because I only needed the edge. Stay tuned, on account of the second half is the best. However, I can only give it three and a half stars because it appears no pigeons or Parisians were harmed in the making of this film.

Also for sale.
