But another says that it was a Mercedes 450 with the sound of a Ferrari dubbed in post. Another Website (http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2005/Rendezvous.shtml) computes his speed for the different segments of the trip. <br />There used to be a mashup of the video with Google maps to trace the route, but it's no longer available. A simple map of the route is here: http://www.immoplaza.fr/maps/cetait-un-rendez-vous.

I can't remember who linked to it way back when (which means "sometime within the past year" in Internet). Whatever. In any case, I watched it all the way through, and I laughed to myself at the end when I said "Oh, that's the Place du Tertre." In any case I loved the whole thing, especially the ending, so thanks for posting it! I can't believe I didn't watch it all the way through the last time I saw a link to it!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09800504969443152728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28165993.post-47839928907321871472009-04-27T23:27:00.000-04:002009-04-27T23:27:00.000-04:00It is cool.

I don't find it exciting, I find it reckless and irresponsible. Lelouch should have been jailed for a few years for his part in that. It's just incredible that someone would do something so stupid and brag about it afterward.Starmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386841450183061541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28165993.post-80586067225704561842009-04-27T23:09:00.000-04:002009-04-27T23:09:00.000-04:00omg, I am one of very little patience, but I decid...omg, I am one of very little patience, but I decided I needed a 10 minute respite, and boy was this worth it.
