A bit of light entertainment



Peter's youtube link reminded me of this. It is a jaw dropping film from the 70s showing someone driving across Paris in a Ferrari at insane speeds. Apparently the driver was a Formula One driver, so no attempted recreations in Croydon, please.

brilliant!

Many years ago I had a Porsche 928
white with linen leather (white)and white carpets (it was the 1980's so acceptable) and maxed it at over 170 mph on the m62 one morning , happy days.
Have you seen the helicopter minigun video mr William?

A bit of sniffing around on the internet suggests it was the director himself behind the wheel, that it was not a Ferrari and he didn't actually hit 140 kph. Still entertaining though.
