JWZ pointed to this video (links and bittorrents) of a high speed run through the heart of Paris recorded by a low mounted video camera on a high performance car (if it's a Ferarri or a Mercedes is apparently under dispute). Apparently the sometimes-up-to-140 mph joyride is quite cool.... I'm downloading the 150mb file at a whopping 1.8kb/s right now... Several mirrors are provided in the source article.
It's supposed to be a Ferarri, but if that's a Ferarri engine, I'm a pineapple-shaped 3rd century historian.
