The driver in this clip is the same guy, albeit 20 years later. The video is in German but the faces on those average joes riding shotgun are priceless.....

I had that same RT12 for a three day weekend in 2006. My Mother looked the same as the guy in the jean jacket, just trying to hold down lunch.
What fun. Perhaps I can get her again this summer

That one has a Yellowbird motor in a lightened 964 Chassis. It was one of two made in black for the Bedoer (sp?) Brothers way back when. It is a NASTY ride!
