Default Walter Rohrl on His Personal Car Collection

Here's a short video of Rohrl being interviewed while driving... about a minute in (after halting the conversation to admire a horse), he continues the conversation:

I have a ’94 RS.
It is… it makes a lot of fun this car. You know?
It slides…
It’s air-cooled…
Exhaust is quite noisy.

Good one. He clearly has great taste in his cars.

ValveFloat is right... I'm at work, so the volume was way down.

Rohrl says "it is light..." (not slides).

I'm at work, so the volume was way down, and was using the closed-caption text as an aid. I should have gotten it though, both of my parents have much heavier accents!

I believe he also says he has a "964 RS" even though the subtitle says 94 RS. Since there was no 1994 RS (unless you want to count the RS America which wasn't available in Europe) it's a bit hard to understand how a knowledgeable author/journalist could permit this subtitle error to persist in their video clip.
