Oddly enough, I am a member of the Ferrari Owners Club web site...

No...I don't own a Ferrari...Back in 2000 or so, I bought a copy of the short film "C'etait un Rendezvous" by Claude Lelouch, which is a short film of a car (originally believed to be Lelouch's Ferrari 275GTB) racing through the early morning streets of Paris [France], narrowly avoiding collisions, dogs, pedestrians, etc...great sounds...

Anyway, over the years (it was made in 1976), many have tried to emulate the drive and figure out how fast the car was going, and see if they could beat his time...

The Ferrari drivers over there have tried it, and have the maps of the streets laid out with the route highlighted...Great fun timing excerpts from the film and correlating it to the map and figuring out speeds...
