Great ***** out driving nevertheless.

wrong my freind. Its a Alpine A110 actually, and the sound has been dubbed over from a racing Ferrari. Ill try and remember which one.....

Islero - looks like you are right

"According to recent claims by Claude Lelouch, he was driving his own Mercedes in the film, and later dubbed over the sound of a Ferrari 275GTB to give the impression of much higher speeds. Calculations made by several independent groups using the film show that the car never exceeds 140 km/h (85 mph), which seems to lend credence to his recent comments."

Is there some place one could download the clip err I meant movie . In my earlier post I had assumed it was a 10 minute high speed car driving scene and didnt realise the whole movie lasted only 10 minutes till I read the bit on IMDB which says "The film is nine minutes long because the film cartridge in the camera could only hold 10 minutes of film and it was taken in a single shot."

Yeah, I do have the clip, but its too big to upload in my limited internet.

Classic and Sports said it was an A110, hmm, one mystery for me to investigate. Diffrent people seem to be saying diffrent versions. One thing is sure. The camera being so close to the ground, gives the effect of very high speed when it actually it wasnt that high (although it wasnt anywhere near legal!!!)

For those interested I found the clip for C'était un rendez-vous on the net :

It is pretty good as mentioned earlier by Islero and worth a peek. Other writeups about it say in brief : "at times reaching speeds in excess of 135 miles per hour, blowing many stop signs, ramming through one-way streets, and narrowly avoiding hitting pedestrians or other vehicles many times."

Fast and Furious, Cannon Ball Run, Mission Impossible 2 and all James Bond movies which have excellent car races

also the short films released by bmw, i suppose there are 5 of these . . .really well shot, one them is done by GUY RITCHIE, and has madonna in it, takes the M5 to its limit. really good diving.

Definately Too fast too furious tops my list. Followed by the italian job.
[SIZE=2]The cars in the bond movies have also held my fascination too. [/SIZE]

Actually lot of em.... but still
2 fast 2 furious, gone in 60 seconds, matrix car chase scene are among the best !!

Ronin (1998), Bullitt (Steve Macqueen is awesome), Gone in 60 seconds (original version with a 45 minute car chase!!), Transporter and Transporter 2 (Jason Statham is awesome), Diamonds are Forever (James Bond evading the cops in a GT 500!!), Italian Job (original one), Goldeneye (James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 and Xenia Onatopp's Ferrari F355GTS in the opening sequence), Tomorrow Never Dies (cellphone controlled BMW 750i!!), Mr. and Mrs. Smith (Minivan chase!!).
