    make sure it's a pre-89 model, the concave wheels look a lot better than the 89 model and you can't retrofit the concave onto the 89 series

    if you're looking for one remember to ask the boys here before doing anything, we may even steer you in the right direction :D

    I was actually thinking of the Mexicans, they're a knowledgable lot

    the Sydney FCA guys are a good source of cars as well but they seem to sell their 328s quickly when they come onto the market.

    There have been a few up here in the deep north and I can always check them out for you here

    Being a retailer of Rendezvous, Getaway in Stockholm (which I found much more boring) and other similar titles I wouldn't encourage downloading :)
    If you want to see someone with a real deathwish however, have a look for some of the Ghost Rider footage, especially from the first video/DVD "The Final Ride". I think you'll find that rather more spectacular...

    To be perfectly honest you would be very lucky to get that far through Paris without attracting attention very quickly. Traffic cameras etc etc.
    Man, why did you old guys screw it up for us, we can't have any fun now :D

    The problem is that some are oneway streets and they went the wrong way soo it would be very hard to try a close time. Apprently(cant find the link) some dudes tried it recently and got it in 16mins.

    wow is this guy the "O.G." of exotic thrill videos? :) hope its not a repost...

    Story...
    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. 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.

    Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went underground until a DVD release a few years ago.

    it was a mercedes with a Porsche 917 soundtrack from the movie Le Mans, not enough valve clatter to be a Ferrari V12

    my own theory, I have watched Le Mans many times and it sounds just like McQueens 917 in the video

    IMO; it sounds nothing like the flat 12 in the 917 recorded in Le Mans (movie) that 12 has a distinct high pitch whine that is lacking in the french video.

    It was a 348, photoshopped to make it look like 1978.

    Its dubbed over so 'guess the car' is irrelevent, there is one part where he brakes coming up to a Renault yet it is still on full throttle, mind you it does sound good though
