Speaking of car videos, have you guys seen "Rendevouz"? It was made in the '70's by a guy in Paris who simply strapped a movie camera to the hood of his Ferrari then went screaming through Paris at 100 mph+ at about 6am on a Sunday. It's about 9 minutes long, but the first time I watched it, I had to stop it about half way through to catch my breath!!! The streets weren't blocked off for filming or anything. The guy blows through 19 redlights. Probably the reason he didn't cream anybody was because the car was so loud, people heard him coming. A true classic. If done today you'd end up dead or in jail for a long time.

I saw that for the first time at an SCCA regional club meeting, had to be 20 yrs ago. Awesome flick as you said.

Come on Jeroen. Give it up. I hear Kazaa is a virus laden POS.

Yeah, but ya can't hurt the ignorant

Kazaa will install spy-ware on your hard-drive no matter which options you chose. I had to run Lavasoft's Ad-aware and Webroot's Spy Sweeper multiple times to get rid of it all.

Damn, that is some really low quality video on the download.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned 'Getaway in Stockholm'. A very similar video. Very exciting. Maybe some accelerated film tricks though. I hear that there have been a couple more 'getaway' films made since.

I have Getaway in Stockholm on my hard drive at home. I still watch it every now and then. I'd loveto get my mits on Rendezvous.

I don't use the original Kazaa software, but a hack
I hardly ever use it (I'm not into this type of thing on the 'net), but got it from a friend who does stuff like this all the time...

cheers,
