Some pics from Ruf
Everyone there was just great, can't say enough good things really, so i won't even try 
the one and only Stefan "Sideways" Roser with chief Ruf Test Driver H.P. Lieb. As any Porschephile knows, Herr Roser was the pilot in the famous "Faszination" video of the CTR yellowbird at the Nurburgring back in 1989. The car in the photo is the original car.
Someone told me that H.P.'s is the father of current Porsche works driver Marc Lieb. Anyone know if this is true?
and a solo shot of the yellowbird. note the NACA duct on its rear flank, that identifies it as the original car, since all other CTR's produced after didn't have this feature.
now some shots of the RK Coupe. this is Alfredo Stola's personal car apparently, same one that was presented to the public recently at Pebble Beach Concours. Its the only RK Coupe presently in existence. the detail work is really nice-- from the solid billet fuel filler cap in the hood, to the clever system by which you open the doors (there are no door handles
)
in the workshop next to the factory RT12
interior color scheme not for everyone, but it sure feels special
car in the foreground belongs Alois and Estonia Ruf

how about a yellow one (Alois Ruf's personal car at one time, I believe,) and a silver CTR2?
or... perhaps in black? with a silver RT12 and yellow CTR thrown in for good measure?
ah what the hell... i love 'em all... i can't choose!!!
but my favorite R-Turbo... has to be AdamT's beautiful red car. On these cars, nothing beats the look of the classic Ruf 5-spokes!
enjoy!

hesperus,
Hate to bother you like this man but do you have any more pics of that spectacular black RTurbo? wow. I've been looking at that pic and boring a hole into my screen. Incredible.
Also did Ruf have any GT2s in for conversions? Pics of any?
Thank you sir!
