That was great, and not dissimilar from the last cab ride I had in Paris, save for the lack of traffic that seems to be everywhere in the city today.

Ah, Rendezvous. Claude's own Mercedes was used as the camera car, while the Ferrari soundtrack was added later. A classic car movie.

Ah, the great debate surrounding this film!

There are papers written on the speeds attained and I seem to remember that the highest speed was 130mph, but I may be way off.

To me something is not right about the footage. I guess if the soundtrack was added later that might explain it.

Have a look at this. The music by the band works really well with the film. Good video.

Been there, done that.

Of course I was playing The Saboteur at the time...

I was amazed at how many streets and landmarks I recognized from the game.
