Automobiliac Video of the Week: the Italian Job Intro and Fan Tribute Video

I think the introduction to the original version of The Italian Job has to be one of the greatest car scenes ever committed to film. With its bright red Miura and Alpine roads, it perfectly expresses the sheer joy of motoring on an open, twisty road. There have been many tribute videos posted on youtube, but I wanted to share one made by a Honda NSX owner who not only did a good job re-creating the editing of the original, but actually shot his video on the SAME EXACT ROAD as in the film. Well done!
