Yep, that's it .. I knew I'd seen him smoking and made a mental 'note' of it .. I smoked for 25 years and I think about the potential consequences every time I have my annual MRI to check for 'nodes' on my lungs. Thanks for the video review .. I hadn't noticed all the equestrian clothing until now .. a reminder that Stuttgart (Stud Garden) was/is the epicenter of horse country in Germany ...

Darn, so sad to hear this. It's rare thing for a man to design something that is recognized world-wide, and as being one of the best of it's kind. A hearty thank you Butzi!!
Great video, thanks Jager.

Butzi didn't look all that good for age 70. Looks like he was having medical problems back then.
On the other hand, he was driving his 993 Speedster with the top down in December. Good on him.
Also, the spoilers were down on all the cars. Less than 50 mph, or did the European spoilers go up at higher speeds?
