Anyone seen this?

Borrowed the DVD off a friend and watched it last night. It was shot in the 70's and is allegedly an unknown driver in a Ferrari

There are conspiracy theories about how fast he is going and whether the film was sped up, sound dubbed etc. but its certainly a unique bit of footage that could never be replicated in today's traffic!

Driver is rumoured to be Jacques Lafitte by the way

Nice try but the fact you mentioned it once in passing in a thread before is too tenuous. It certainly hasn't been "discussed" before!

tiggers

Yeah that's why I added the 'almost', nice to 'nearly' get you though Amazing piece of film though isn't it?

Regards,

Its definately interesting and unique.... although I'm not sure 9 mins of footage justifies the price!

Maybe I could do a Portishead version....

I did a chaos version and understeered into a wall

written car off

no licence

court
lifes great

ajm

I was wondering when that was going to happen. Dad's audi by any chance?

chaos.

no it wasnt my dads car, it was a 205 gti, f*cking animal on roundabouts, did the same in my dads car and it was fine..

ajm

1) Who's car was it?
2) Where's the footage?

chaos.

Theres no video if thats what you're after, my mate has the piccies, it was his car afterall ..

Need to get them so I can scan them in.

I have some footage taken from my M3 on the M5 to M4 East slip road designed to highlight that, despite signs to the contrary, 50mph isn't actually the maximum safe speed for that corner at all!

I may release it sometime in the future when the Conservatives get back in and declare a speeding amnesty!

chaos.

I LOVE M3s wow, esp E46 with SMG

I'd write it off in no time at all ..

tiggers

Won't be seeing that any time soon then. For two reasons:

1) They won't get back in
2) Even if they did, to declare a speeding amnesty would mean they have to come to a decision on a policy - not likely the way they are going at the moment

Hope this helps,

tiggers.

Is this 9 minutes long with the camera on the front of a Ferrari 275 GTB? Id heard that it was the director driving.....

ajm

That's the one. THere is loads of speculation about who was driving, what the car is etc. but as far as I know he remains tight lipped on the whole thing!

You'd think someone would remember him doing it though... especially the person that has to sprint out of the middle of the road as he comes through!
