I have always admired the short film, “C’était un rendez-vous”, by Claude Lelouch. It is eight minutes of extreme speed through the streets of Paris. Actually, it took place in 1976. Some people argue that it was an S-class speeding through the streets, while others say it was a Ferrari. Regardless of the type of car used, it was a grand short film.
A few people have asked me countless times about where I live and what the surrounding area looks like. I reckon they are not happy with the thousands of photos on flickr?
Anyway, I had planned to get up early this morning and record my ascent up into the mountains. I had hoped to get up before dawn and get to Caesar’s Head during dawning. The alarm clock didn’t go off due to a brown out, so I didn’t get up until after daybreak.
Anyway, I did it just to show you all what the roads look like around here. It would have been a much better video had I woken up! 
I may do another one in the morning, when I go downtown to walk. Hopefully, gootube will not muck it up.
P.S.: Close to the end, the camcorder went airborne due to me taking a 15mph curve at 25mph.

Aha . .the Google Queen strikes again, it was a Mercedes 450SEL with the sound of a Ferrari GTB dubbed in during post production. However I think the driver was actually The Stig from Top Gear (that’s a joke JD). And he used a gyro stabilised camera not two strips of velcro! hehehehe! Nice to see your natural habitat though Wingnut!

Ah, but the 450sel was an S-class Mercedes.
Thanks for the info.
