Speeding
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 early
in the morning. 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.

.... as that car would go to get me home before curfew. Fantastic dates had to end all too soon due to her and my curfew. Wonder what she looks like now? She was a "hottie" back then ... but I looked different then too. I drove normally to get her home on time but then had to put the peddle to the metal to get me home within my curfew.
 
My first ticket in her was 75 in a 35mph residential area ! Man that car could FLY ! Sure glad she couldn't talk.

Back when I was Young I drove like that to get to work because there was a TV program I wanted to see each week---Wayatt Earp---I had a Ford Mavaric with a 302 in it---That thing was close to a Mustang---I had 34 miles to make it to work on country back roads and I had only 30 minutes to get there---So I drove with one foot on the gas one foot on the Brake and I was Never late---There was no cops on those roads back then so I went like a bat out of hell for 30 Minutes---I would NOT have the nerve to drive like that now
