Like you would ever need another reason to watch the coolest car chase of all times yet again right? Someone just mapped the video of the car chase scene onto Google Maps. From the creator:
“I’m a huge fan of ‘the king of cool’ and of all movie car-chase scenes. I thought it would be great [...]

“Eleanor has competition with the Obsidian SG-1” titled Jalopnik recently. Although the Obsidian is pretty sure a piece of art when talking about custom cars, Eleanor was - through the movie of course - a lot more of a symbol than just a custom car.

Since then I’ve been searching for it on all search engines and all major online video sites but without [...]

I posted this neat quote already back in January pointing to a commercial that was burried somewhere deep down in the Ford website.
“So, you couldn’t find a car you like here in Germany? No, I couldn’t find a speed limit I liked in America!”

Bummer! I had two posts in my draft that included some really cool footage. Both videos were clips from the BBC program Top Gear which I found at TechEBlog. Sadly enough, it looks like the BBC had these videos removed from YouTube. Thanks but no thanks.

Bullitt is a 1968 action movie with Steven McQueen, Robert Duvall, … and this is why you’re supposed to know it:
“Bullitt is most-remembered for its central car chase scene through the streets of downtown San Francisco, one of the earliest and most influential car chase sequences in movies. The scene had Bullitt in a dark [...]
