I do not endorse this type of behavior but, you have to admit you wanna look at it.

OMG -
That looks crazy!!!
Although I don't endorse that kind of behavior, I wish I had the quejones to try that once.
(Of course it would be in a controlled environment, while obeying all the rules of the road)

Yeah I'm amazed at how they were able to fit thru some really tight spaces.

The thread title os so spot on. I can't believe how many people don't know to move right unless you're passing someone. That video was full of people in the wrong lane.

That reminds me of those Getaway in Stockholm videos everyone seem to have wanted in my freshman year. Yeah the cameraman was probably just there to film. Insane nonetheless. :D

The wagon was an S4 no doubt. It was funny to see it pull out that much on the car that was "chasing" it.

Has anyone seen Rendezvous ? I hear that it is supposed to be a 9 minute thrill ride.

Edit: I found a copy of the video and I'm downloading it now. :D

pshh....that's nothing. We used to do that back when I was 16. Even in the rain. Yeah, I took a lot of unnecessary risks back then.

That is one awesome clip! Love the sound of the engine and the blips of the throttle downshifting. Reminded me of the M3 CSL for some reason but it turned out to be a Ferarri. Have you seen Getaway in Stockholm 2? Great soundtrack (courtesy of the turbocharged Cosworth) but doesn't have as much close calls as this one.

Absolutely compulsive - this astonishing, exhilarating and now legendary drive through a beautiful 70s Paris with its surprise ending is shrouded in myths.

Was Lelouch really arrested when first shown?

Was it a Formula 1 driver and Ferrari 275/GTB?

How was it filmed without blocking off streets?

If not, how (the hell!) did he do it?

For many years an almost Masonic secret among enthusiasts. Whisper the words "Have you seen Rendezvous" and you'll receive either a knowing, "No, but I've heard it's unbelievable" or a smug, "It is un-be-lieve-able". The connoisseurs' trump card in response to "Bullitt" or "The French Connection".

"An unforgettable exhilarating ride"
"Better than any chase scene filmed, because it's real."
"a must-see piece."

My BMW expert friend told me the car with the camera is a M3 in this clip. (Based on the Dash and the round side mirror shown at the end of clip).

Just to show you how kick *** that other Civic driver is.

That is very impressive. I would have crapped my pants if I was a passenger.

That Rendez-vous clip was astonishing!
How the heck did he pulled that out without a scratch is beyond me. The ending was also a nice touch.
