A little diversion - The Rendezvous (oldie but a goodie)

While most car freaks will have likely seen this video at one point or another, I still find this fascinating.  Our friend Alex Roy of Team Polizei fame (who has a new book coming out next week) brought it back to my attention so I thought I would share it here as well.  The video depicts a Ferrari 275 GTB racing through the streets of Paris at insane speeds - one take - incredible driving - beautiful scenery.

Even if you're not a car guy, you cant help but love the shots of Paris streets when you watch this insane video.  A few notes to read AFTER you watch the video (so it doesn't spoil it for you):

Claude Lelouch
He was arrested after his 1976 film, C'était un rendez-vous, reportedly at the time featuring a Ferrari 275 GTB being illegally driven at speeds approaching 140 km/h through the streets of Paris by a Formula 1 driver, was first shown publicly.

Recent claims made by the director himself, however, suggest he drove his own Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 in the film and dubbed the sound effects of a Ferrari 275GTB. Several independent groups have verified that the car in the film never reaches past 140 km/h (85mph) [1]

All that said, pretty impressive time killer considering the state of 'special effects' back in the Spirit of '76.

Nothing else to report today.  Just another IN-sane week here at the Fuze camp...

Live well.
