To all you who haven't seen this - and those who have - enjoy.
Some mad French bastard did this; the camera car is a Mercedes Benz 450SEL 6.9, the sound is a 275GTB Ferrari.
Lots of interesting cars including two BLMC 1100/1300's and at least one sighting of Junkman's white 16.
It's best with headphones.

Going by some French drivers I have known it could have been done in a Renault 6....
Cracking bit of film though and it never fails to impress youngsters (by which I mean anybody under 40).
There are lots of "explanations" on t'internet but its one of those things that just needs to be enjoyed for its own sake.

All those white Pugs and Renaults with yellow lights, when I first visited Paris in 1984 , I was so dissapointed that it wasn't like this.
Saying that it must have been full of 505s and R18s with GSAs on every corner, I'm sure if I saw Rendesvous 1986 I'd be just as excited at what was just mobile street furniture to me then.

What a fantastic film. I first went to France as a small child about this time and IIRC provincial France was still full of yellow headlamps well into the early/mid 'eighties.

As I biker I really appreciate the sheer guts it took to film this.
A GSXR1100 on 80s tyres full chat around the Paris ring road. The 1100 Gixxer was a direct competitor to my CBR1000F and there's no fucking way I'd try this.

Aye, I've ridden the Paris ringroad at 2am & even then it was too busy for that sort of thing!
