If you're into twisted driving adventures, this is a fun one. Some clown
takes a Ferrari past several Paris landmarks in the gray light of dawn,
dodging cops and sleepy commuters. The soundtrack is full of the wonderful
growl of a long-legged V-8, and you can see/hear/almost_feel everything,
including one nifty save of throttle-induced oversteer. Check it out, if you
can. I'd be interested in a copy if anyone can ID a source.

There's an urban legend running around that someone tried the same thing in
Hong Kong, got caught, and haven't seen the light of day since... YMMV.
