My current favorite luxury car - Bentley Mulsanne. Such a beautiful limousine. By the way: Wasn't "Blue Lena" a Bentley Mulsanne?

This must have been the last time that these roads were that empty...
It was a horror to me as an 18-year-old going round Arc de Triomphe trying to slip into Champs Elysees (don't blame me for misspellings, I'm not even French) with about eight cars around me with the same aim.
As far as I know those races were quite common in Paris (and on the so called Peripherique). So the government established a circuit to enable riding and driving fast but safe in the North of the town (near one of the airports) and named it "Carole" after a girl who was killed during one of those "races".

And talking of cars the UK's Daily Mail has a feature on who had the better cars, The Stones of The Beatles.

In addition to what I already have written (and which actually came to my mind first):
I was riding early Sunday morning through Paris town
when the Preacher came on the radio:
He said You know, you always have the Lord by your side.
So I ran twenty red lights in His honour.

Tony Stewart went out around lap 40ish. Do I keep watching?
This is a very unpredictable Daytona...

They were empty because Claude Lelouch's run through Paris was done very early in the morning [5:30 a.m.], not to mention illegally. The run was filmed from a camera mounted on the front bumper of a Mercedes and was done in one take [with a 1,000-foot 35-mm film reel]. "So I ran twenty red lights in his honor"--this is approximately the number of red lights Lelouche ran in his 8:38 film, give or take.

Below is a 2006 French-language interview with Claude Lelouch on the making of Rendevouz, where he retraces the route taken in the original film.




Here is an English-language interpretation of the story behind Lelouch's film.

drug "cannon" ... really?
