Best quote -

Passenger: "So, do you think we can time this?"

Porsche PR guy: "Paul, this is Walter Röhrl. Every lap is timed."

Sweet story!

I need to find a copy of the movie 959. It's a movie full of the Porsche 959 driving at a bunch of famous tracks. Aparently they have the worlds fastest 'Ring production car lap from '87 or so in there.... may have even been Rohrl driving!

I think my ears are still ringing from the Elise's straight-cut gearbox...
