Well, no so new apparently. It contains bits of Rendezvous.
Not having ever heard Snow Patrol, not sure if they are "my thing"
Will have a look at the vid when someone finds it :)

That is correct, I have seen it on TMF a couple of times. Dad said come and see this video made to look to look like someone driving fast throught Paris 20 years ago. I said that is Rendevous. The copy they are using is very good quality however it is nothing like as good as watching the video. With Snow Patrol editing out all the noise of the 250GTO it has lost something. My personal opion is that Snow Patrol sould not have been allowed to use it anyway.
Should be able to find it on YouTube I am sure.

The video for the new single Open Your Eyes is taken from “C’était un Rendezvous”, a cult-classic short film made in Paris in 1976 by French filmmaker Claude Lelouch.
This is the first time in it’s 30 year history that Lelouch has granted permission to use the footage.

Great review for the original film
Plot Outline: A high-speed drive through the streets of Paris.
User Comments: Hairy-chested, un-PC and pure bollocking fun
and trivia also:
The film was shot in a single take, without any special effects or stuntmen, with the director driving the car.
The idea for this film came to Claude Lelouch after hiring a gyro stabilized camera mount for a film he was working on at the time.
The film is nine minutes long because the film cartridge in the camera could only hold 10 minutes of film and it was taken in a single shot.
Until recently, there was no confirmation of who was driving or what car he was driving. Over the years, various sources claimed an F1 driver was at the wheel of a Le Mans Matra 675, Ferrari 275 GTB, or an Alpine A110. However, Claude Lelouch confirmed on his official website in March 2006 that he was driving, and it was a 6.9 litre Mercedes.
Lelouch was arrested shortly after the film was screened but was later released without charge.
The route taken in the film is 10.42 km long (6.48 mi). It takes the driver 7:57 to cover that distance, giving him an average speed of 78.64 km/h (48.86 mph).
According to recent claims by Claude Lelouch, he was driving his own Mercedes in the film, and later dubbed over the sound of a Ferrari 275GTB to give the impression of much higher speeds. Calculations made by several independent groups using the film show that the car never exceeds 140 km/h (85 mph), which seems to lend credence to his recent comments.
Three people were in the car, with Claude Lelouch at the wheel.
