Apparently, a few years old (note the Goodyear F1 tires and lack of traction control), but this clearly shows the incredible performance of an F1 car compared to ordinary high performance automobiles. Even high performance Ferrari automobiles!!! Anyone recognize the course?

As car people, we all know this, but this is one great way to demonstrate the difference. Of course, it doesn't hurt to have Mikey at the wheel (and a broadband connection, elapsed time ~3m30 sec)

:brm: Please don't try this at home. In fact please don't try this anywhere.

On an early August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris. The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur. [It's shot in the very early hours, so it helps a bit of you know the geography, as it's darkish in places. I reckon he must have hit 6th on the Champs Elysee, because he's really flogging it down there.]

No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.

The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH (260 km/h) in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets. [It is also a tribute to the speed with which a sleepy early-morning pigeon can react - and an hommage to those that didn't make it]

Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went underground on VHS tape until a DVD release (c'etait une rendezvous) a few years ago.

Turn up your sound for this... and buckle up. Oh, and it's not been messed with, speeded up and whatnot. Totally insane, but entertaining (unless you were one of the pidgeons).

:brm: :chflag:

P.S. The word is it was Gilles Villeneuve. It figures.

Yes to both. It must've been filmed a bit later in the year, too, given the raised nose-cone. The dank weather also suggests later on.

When I was at Silverstone 1997, whilst I was in this big bleep-off Ferrari building thingy, they showed a film of that style. I am trying to think whether the one I saw was with the '97 car, or whether it was that same film.

Not an original idea, though. I saw the same sort of thing years ago with Marlboro and McLaren. Alan McNish was in the slowest car, I think John Watson in the medium speed one and Niki Lauda in the F1 car. He even had a cup of tea with the mechanics on the start line before setting off. :)

In the Ferrari clip, isn't that Eddie Irvine driving the GT car?

Very interesting. The Milky Way Galaxy to an Oak Leaf to a single Quark - Amazing site.

Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida has put up a very interesting page on their site. It begins as a view of the Milky Way Galaxy viewed from a distance of 10 million light years and then Zooms in towards Earth in powers of ten. 10 million, to one million, to 100,000 light years and then it finally reaches a large Oak tree.

If ever there was a witness to creation, these folks have captured it for our viewing pleasure!

Once you click on the site, the software does all the work. Sit back and imagine how perfect our universe is! You can play it forward and backward to be amazed over and over. At the end it says AUTO....click on that and review the process in reverse!

Cars: The Movie

See the trailer HERE (http://adisney.go.com/disneypictures/cars/main.html?sec=3&subsec=13).

Then watch the `podcasts' that are available in the small windows to the right of the screen (if you have the time)

In the film, famous race-car drivers provide voice cameos. Three-time Winston Cup winner Darrell Waltrip co-stars as the excitable announcer, Darrell Cartrip. Richard Petty, of course, is the King. NASCAR rock star Dale Earnhardt Jr., Mario Andretti & even 7-time F1 world champion Michael Schumacher make an appearance. Schumacher is great. He did his lines in English, German & Italian. Interestingly, because Petty has a relatively minor following in, say, Finland, the cast of voices changes as the film is dubbed for other countries. For Germany, the King is voiced by 3-time F1 champion Niki Lauda. In Spain, F1 ace Fernando Alonso steps into those fireproof shoes.

The walloping end-over-end crash of "the King" at the end of the movie is a virtual frame-by-frame re-creation of Rusty Wallace's famous wild ride at Talladega in '93 when his car flipped 23 times.

Could be cute. :brm: :#1:

Ahh yes, a "Work in Progress".

The avatar is me in my '62 Austin-Cooper , taken at the uphill turn at Limerock Park in Connetictut on 21 OCT 1962. I took delivery in APR '62 and it was one of the first Cooper (998cc) models in the US. The car in the background is a Volvo P-1800 driven by Art Riley who went on to fame as a Volvo racer.

My '62 was pushed off the highway in April of 64 'at 50mph by a careless driver `who didn't see it". I was ok but the car was pranged badly. I sold it "as is" to Floyd Stone who rebuilt it and entered it in the '65 Sebring 12hrs.

I bought a 1275cc Cooper-S Mk II in 1976. It had come from Canada as there were none imported into the US due to emission, crash testing and other various regulatory problems. I sold it in '78 due to a corporate move (I had too many cars and sold the wrong one), :old: :brm: :tumble:

This is not a website but an interesting bit of trivia:

August 25, 1875
Englishman swims the Channel

Matthew Webb, a 27-year-old merchant navy captain, becomes the 1st known person to successfully swim the English Channel. Captain Webb accomplished the grueling 21-mile crossing, which really entailed 39 miles of swimming because of tidal currents, in 21 hours & 45 minutes. During the overnight crossing from Dover, England, to Calais, France, Captain Webb drank brandy, coffee, & beef tea to keep his strength & heat up. He was hailed as a national hero upon his return to England, & a triumphal arch was erected in his honor in his hometown in Shropshire. The Daily Telegraph proclaimed, "At this moment the Captain is probably the best-known & most popular man in the world."

One of 12 children, Webb learned to swim in the Severn River below Ironbridge. At age 12, he joined the mercantile training ship Conway. He was not remembered as a fast swimmer, but his fellow cadets noted his endurance. While traveling the world w/the merchant navy, Webb made his mark w/several brave & dangerous swims. Endurance swimming was popular in the 1870s, & Webb decided to swim the English Channel after reading in a newspaper about an unsuccessful attempt. He trained along England's south coast, swimming distances of 10 to 20 miles & becoming acclimatized to the cold water. In August 1875, his 1st attempt to swim the Channel ended in failure, but he decided to give it another try.

On August 24, 1875, smeared in porpoise fat for insulation & wearing a red swimming costume made of silk, he dove off Dover's Admiralty Pier into the chilly waters of the Channel. He began the race in the late evening because of the tides & kept up a slow & steady pace in the dark, using the breaststroke. Accompanying boats handed him beef tea, brandy, & other liquids to sustain him, & Webb braved stinging jellyfish & patches of seaweed as he plodded on. Seven miles from the French coast, the tide changed, & he appeared to be driven backward, but just after 10 a.m. he approached the French shore. The crew of the outgoing mail ship The Maid of Kent serenaded him w/"Rule Britannia," & shortly before 11 a.m. Webb waded ashore.

After sleeping 12 hours in France, Webb returned to England by boat, saying, "the sensation in my limbs is similar to that after the 1st day of the cricket season." He was honored at a welcoming banquet in Dover, where the mayor proclaimed, "In the future history of the world, I don't believe that any such feat will be performed by anyone else." The London Stock Exchange set up a testimonial fund for him. He toured the country, lecturing & swimming.

Within a few years, interest in Captain Webb began to wane. Overexposed on the lecture circuit & having spent or given away most of the money he earned as a result of his Channel swim, he agreed to a series of degrading exhibitions. In March 1880, he floated for 60 hours in the whale tank of the Royal Aquarium in Westminster, & in October he agreed to an extended swim in the freezing waters of Lancashire Lake. He was pulled from the water exhausted & hypothermic, & those close to him said his constitution never recovered. Seeking an alternate form of income, he prided himself on being an inventor, but few ever saw his bicycle, swimming apparatus, or flying machine, which had flapping seagull-like wings. Reportedly, he broke his nose testing the flying machine.

Eventually, Captain Webb traveled to America w/his wife & two children & staged swimming exhibitions that attracted varying degrees of attention. Hearing of the exploits of Emile Blondin, a French daredevil who crossed Niagara Falls on a tightrope, Captain Webb came up w/a new plan to restore his fame & fortune. He would travel to the Falls & swim a particularly treacherous stretch of the Niagara River that was feared for its lethal rapids & whirlpool.

Upon his arrival in Niagara Falls, he called a press conference to outline what he believed would be his greatest exploit since swimming the English Channel. He would embark in a small boat to a point below the Falls. He would then jump out & float down thru the rapids. If it was too difficult to stay on the surface, he would dive down, coming up occasionally to breathe & show off his swimming ability. Then he would make his way around the whirlpool, estimating that it would take him 2 or 3 hours to extricate himself from its pull. Once beyond it, he would swim to the shore on the Canadian side.

Locals advised Webb that his plan was suicide, noting that 80 people had died in the rapids in recent memory. Webb ignored them & estimated that he would receive $10,000 from the RR companies, which he assumed would profit greatly from throngs of spectators traveling to Niagara for the event. Ultimately, the railroads refused to sponsor him, & he was rowed out into the river at 4 p.m. on July 24, 1883, intending to risk his life for what he called the credit of his good name. Clad in the same red swimming suit he wore when he swam the Channel, he dove bravely into the water. A cheer went up from the thousands of spectators gathered along the shore.

At 1st he was swimming powerfully & looked untroubled, but then the river narrowed, & he was gripped by the rapids. Three times he was pulled under & then came up hundreds of feet from where he was seen last. He was no longer in control & was pulled downstream at a furious pace. As he came upon the whirlpool, he threw up his right arm & then went under. Seconds, minutes, & hours passed, & he didn't come up.

Five days later, his gashed, bruised, & bloated body was found by a fisherman downstream. It had been held by the whirlpool for sometime before being expelled. The body had a huge head wound, exposing the skull, but an autopsy concluded that Webb probably was crushed by the force of the whirlpool & suffered the gash later.

Webb was given a pauper's burial in the Oakwood cemetery at the edge of the Falls, in a small plot known as "The Strangers' Rest." In 1908, in what would have been his 60th year, the Webb Memorial was erected at his birthplace in England. Its simple inscription reads, "Nothing Great Is Easy."

When you acces the link from 10-10ths you are connecting from a UK server.

You should get the correct local time by connecting using the original link and doing one of the following (MS Internet Explorer only. There must be a Netscape & Mac users with appropriate knowlege. Please post):

1. Right click anywhere on the screen and select "Create Shortcut".

or

Read the text on the incident and then Click on the Link at the end to watch an animation.

This, friends, is what I call close. Fortunately there was an experienced crew in the United Airlines 737.

Wonder if the controllers responsible were ever reprimanded for this near-collision?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jets Came Within 35 Feet Of Colliding:

The National Transportation Safety Board says a near-collision between an airliner and a cargo jet this summer was a lot closer than first reported.

As Aero-News reported, a United Airlines 737 was cleared for takeoff at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport July 23, just as an Atlas 747 was landing on a crossing runway. The pilot aboard the 737 saw the jumbo jet too late to abort, and chose to rotate early to avoid the collision.

Early reports said the two aircraft were never closer than 300 feet. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, however... a new NTSB report says they missed by only 35 feet.

The controller who cleared the United flight is heard to say STOP, STOP, STOP on the tower tapes as the aircraft passed each other.

NTSB Chairman Mark Rosenker said the incident "could have been catastrophic had the airmen not been skilled and not been lucky. Luck is not a way to run a safety system."

The airport's ground alerting system wasn't operating at the time... but the NTSB says that doesn't matter. The system wouldn't have given enough warning to avoid the incident.

The NTSB also released a Flash animation reenactment of the event, available for viewing. Click HERE (www.ntsb.gov/Events/2006/MostWantedFed/AnimationDescription.htm). You have to click TWICE on the ">" at the lower l/h corner of the screen.

What amazes me, is how he assembled himself into the contraption, inside the aircraft. Then also how to get launched without damage to the parent aircraft. Hooheeeeee!

Also, it's a perfect landing when you don't have to eat dirt.

It must also take big cojones to make sure that all four of the miniature turbines cut off at the same time.
