Rendez-vous: Racing through Paris in a Ferrari has been added as a related post - related requested by oritteropo.

Just watched the original. I guess if you had never seen any street racing, or had eyes, you might consider that the holy grail. Or if holy grail in this instance means "first" or something. Boring stuff, barely breaking the speed limit.

Basically your normal southern european driver. Bit slower, but the same lack of respect for red lights. So disappointed, I was expecting something fun.

zebishop jokingly says...

This video is a fake (not lelouch's, this one). You see countless cars changing lanes with their turn signal on. I've been living in Paris for 12 years now, and NOBODY uses it. EVER. Or when it's on, it's been on for 10 minutes at least and the driver is not gonna change lane at all. Also you don't see any scooter or motorcycle slaloming between cars. Fake to the bones.
