Excellent... though how many red lights did he go through?

Lots, my 5 year old was counting them, but got bored.
IIRC the driver was never identifed (and the director went to prison coz he wouldn't tell french plod?)
Personally I'd have thought it would be easy to tell from the cut of his trousers - I understand you need special tailoring for b*lls that large
- how fast was he driving on those greasy looking cobbles

WOW!!!
Incredible! That's how town driving should be done, commuting might be a tad quicker then!!
Can't believe some of those junctions, obviously the camera was very low down so the driver had a much better view but still dodgy even so!!

seems pretty slow to me !!! its as if they did the engine sounds afterwards , some of it doesnt quite match the rate of acceleration .

I thought the same to begin with, then my eyes started to adjust to the half light and you can see stuff going by at a fair old rate!!
Watch the white lines, they are always a clue.
Agree on the sound, some does seem strange, but then a lot seems perfect and would have been very difficult to have got right afterwards.
Who knows, but it's still awesome!

I've seen this many times, and I'm still not sure if I'm convinced about it's authenticity. I also think the tyre squeal
sounds disproportionate to the manouevre in several places, and the speed differential of vehicles he's passing seems to be much less than the
engine note would lead you to expect.
Still, even if it is 'doctored' a little, it's still an entertaining piece of work.
