LeMans is indeed a spectacular event to attend. I was fortunate enough to attend on behalf of Audi in both 99 and again in 01. Had just sat down to dinner in the Audi tent along with Rod Bymaster who at the time was the head of Audi Sport NA., while watching on one of the 6 or 8 big screen tv's in the tent, the Mercedes of Peter Dubreck suddenly went airborne and flew off the course to the left and disappeared behind the tress lining the track. An eerie hush fell over the crowd in the tent. Until one of the TV helicopters flew over the crash and filmed Dumbreck climbing out of the Benz. Then cheers erupted through out the entire course. Mercedes immediately closed their garages and started loading their trucks as they were pulling out of the race. The tent that Audi had there was located on the pit side of the track, at the Porsche Curves leading to the Start/Finnish straight. Audi finished 3rd that year, only to come back and dominate the race several times thereafter. Thank you Audi, and Audi of America. ... View more

I had a 1966 Corvair Corsa that I dearly loved. It was a 180hp turbo that I bought from the Chevy dealership that I was working at, at that time. It was one of the dealership owners personal demo. I traded in my much loved Dodge Polara 500, 383 2bl. It was through the Corvair that I had an opportunity to meet and get to know Don Yenko, who at that time was developing and building the Yenko Stinger. Another story for another time. I enjoy hearing about your Corvair however. Thank you. ... View more

I really love the Duesenberg and what Chip has done. Would you think he might consider kicking the bottom of the grille out perhaps 3 or 4 degrees at the bottom to give it a slight rake backwards adding to the already flowing lines he has added. ... View more

I do miss my days with Audi, and all the events I was able to attend. Including the 1999 24hrs du Man, and the launch of the first R8 street version in Arizona. And it had 3 pedals, and I did manage to get a little sideways coming out of a corner, but it corrected itself flawlessly. I hope the R8, in whatever configuration, never goes away. Just sayin. ...

I Like it. Now that's a true Targa.  ... View more

Actually I think it strongly resembles the ASA 1000GT built around the same time period. They were built by the D'Noro electromechanical group. Originally meant to be a "Baby Ferrari" Enzo sold the rights to build it to the D'Noro group. ... View more
