Hi All,

I got a copy of C'etait un Rendezvous by Claude Lelouch on DVD today, it is incredible.

Made back in 1977, Jaques Lafitte took Claude's ferrari for a quick run thru Paris at dawn. Only 9 min, but is is absolutely flat out (close call with a bus too...)

Sure, it sounds like Getaway in Stockholme, but it is *far* more extreme.

Here a couple of reviews:

Spectacular!

I ordered my copy of rendezvour yesterday and should have it in a few days. I have a copy on video but this should be heaps better as the quality is poor. It is without question one of the best pieces of real life driving footage ever filmed. There are many rumours sorrounding it like that the driver is actually a F1 driver of the time etc. Along with the Ruf Porsche circulating around Nurburgringn and Arri going up pickes Peak, it is my favourite footage of all time.

Hurry up mail man,

Mick.

Mostly because of those crappy 70's crossply tyres he's got :(

Claude leLouch drove the Ferrari, he admitted so a coupla years back. get the DVD as there's some really cool extras on it...

For my money, it ranks alongside:

Climb Dance (Ari Vatenan in Peugeot 405 T16 vs Pikes Peak)

In-car 956 (Derek Bell in LeMans winning Porsche 956 round the old Nurburgring, LeMans, Kyalami, and more)

RUF CTR Porsche on Nurburgring

sonic, I've been meaning to watch both of those vids, haven't come across them yet....

Yeah, the grip from they tyres sucked....but the real *crazy* thing is how he goes flat thru so many blind intersections - the driver seriously had a death wish...I don't mind driving fast, but only where I can see what everyone else is up to...

i've had that on dvd for a few months now and i still watch it at least once a week.

its a bloody adrenaline rush and it sounds sooo good :(

how much fun would he have had doing that!

where can i get the other vids metioned?

they sound good

any other good not to be missed vids?

I dont know where you can get these patches of footage from now days. I have never seen them on DVD and we had them cause of links with motorsport people and running the advanced driver training.

If you can't find them then let me know and I can do a copy of it for you if you get me a video tape. The quality can be a little rough now days but still worth it and I will need a few weeks to do it time wise.

Another piece I have which I love in I have the in car footage of Senna doing the fastest Lap around Adelaide. Just lets me remember his greatness esp when the cars were so hard to drive back then. Really nice piece of footage.

Mick.

ImPrOvIsE, I ripped the file from the DVD and it was 70mb, but I suspect you found a rip for a poor quality vhs copy, the DVD is excellent.

Don't have room to host it though...

    • Anyone want to make me an offer to take my v36/g37 3.7l manual coupe in full? Off memory it was low 100k km but the battery is flat so can't tell right now. What's wrong. I had engine problem's that led to a nice clunk. It made it home but it wasn't pretty for the last few kms. Happened under revs. Sounds like bottom end.. never got around to fully checking or fixing it so the car has sat still and unregistered for a few years. Minor bump in front end set the pedestrian protection under bonnet airbag off and that was meant to be repaired, but while waiting for the repair (parts to come) I got the engine problem. The rest of the car is in decent condition. All drive line is good. All interior is good. Leather interior. Wheels in good condition and decent tyres although the ps4s are likely a little too old now it's sat still. Colour of the car is pewter off memory, the dark grey colour. In Camden NSW. Would need a tray back pickup.

    • I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.
    • HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA. 
    • what speedo healer did you use?
