Title: Vintage Video: Young hooligans in Ferraris on Mulholland drive
Post by: porridgehead on August 06, 2008, 05:06:49 PM

Circa 1969-70, this is 8mm video of a 250pf, a California Spyder and a 250GTO having a grand ol' time ripping up the famed Mulholland drive. It's a wonderful period piece that captures the carefree spirit of that time in America. Performed today, it would be an exercise in homicidal negligence, but back then life was certainly different.

I thought this was so wonderful that I actually wrote my first, and only, response to a youtube video.

A bygone era, indeed.

2 things I like in this video, cars and driving not mentioned:
The driver's helmet and the way he wears it and doesn't care of the stupid look it gives him.  Like Jack Nicholson when he wears Fonda's helmet in "Easy Rider" (with Steppenwolf "Born to be Wild" of course).
The voice over. Calm quiet and friendly. I thought I was hearing Clint Eastwood.
