I laughed when I read about the Norwegian police catching up with a young guy who’d posted on YouTube a video of himself taking a wild car ride, by following the electronic trail he left, then hitting him with a fine of $1,300. The Norwegian, identified only as a man in his early 20s, posted the video called “Driving in Norway” on YouTube. The recording showed the car’s speedometer hitting up to 150 miles - 240 kilometers - per hour on a public highway near Oslo. “We’re touching 240,” a voice could be heard saying. “We know it will do it. This is a little nice.” Not surprisingly, the video was removed from the site after it made national news in Norway last week. Reminds me of the famous Claude Lelouch film he shot of a hair-raising drive through Paris in the early morning. This was long before the days of video, he simply bolted a movie camera on the front of a Ferrari and had a Formula one driver race it through the streets of Paris, through red lights, the wrong way up one way streets, and passing some very surprised pigeons. The Police arrested Lelouch, but he never divulged the name of the driver. Buckle up before you watch it!

What else would you drive through Paris at 5.00 AM?
