C'était un rendez-vous" ("It Was an Appointment") is a short film by Claude Lelouch (1976) that has become a legend among car and movie lovers alike.

This was the journey in Paris:



and this was the car!!!!




You won't believe it! And old Mercedes....



They have repeated the journey with a Ferrari afterwards but just used the sound of it and put it on top of th video...quite funny.

He did it early in the morning to minimise the risks of............? Killing innocent people? I truly wonder if he was really fully ready to take responsibility for that?
And he got away with it because the copper's kids liked it???
Bizarre.
I wonder if he'd have been let off the hook if he had mowed down one of that copper's kids eh?
If I did that I would expect to be locked up and throw away the key for being such a selfish idiot.
A sick world we live in.

"Funny" because you assume it was a Ferrari and not an old Mercedes....
Apart from that it is of course an extremely stupid idea to drive like that in the town center....even if you are a famous race driver as in that case.

On a motorway this is a different story. On a motorway without a speed limit, the safety distance to other cars is far more important then the speed itself. If there is no speed limit (on a German motorway), the weather is good and there is enough space, I also drive 140 mph (220 km/h) myself once in a while and I am not alone - others drive faster. But here it is different - you even have a mandatory driving lesson on the motorway before you are allowed do a driving test - and you have to drive at least 100 mph once. Therefore I feel safer driving here at 140 mph then in Florida at 50 mph where lorries overtake you all the time and dont keep a safety distance at all.
