Ferrari 275GTB through the streets of Paris

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 him 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.

Rabbids invade Paris!

My friend Kitsune is going to be happy about this, he's currently mad for all things "Rabbids".

Anyway, to my point, while just randomly browsing various websites this morning I came across YouNEWB.com who had a story about a "Street Team" going round Paris and sticking big stickers of the Rabbids from the latest Rayman game onto random things.

Here are a few of my faves:






I'm yet to get Rayman Raving Rabbids, mainly because it looks so good on Wii that its probably pointless and inferior on PlayStation 2, and I'm yet to buy a Wii.
