An early morning run at 140 mph through the streets of Paris

 Here is what started insane videos of fast cars going through public streets...

This man, Monsieur Claude Lelouch, drove a Mercedes at high speed (140mph) through Paris.

A short film called C'etait un rendez-vous by Claude Lelouch of a high speed drive through Paris at 5.30 am in August 1976.

He drives the wrong way up one-way streets,breaks red lights and even mounts a sidewalk to avoid a truck.
