Very sensible indeed. I like the fact that he has a '94 RS and finds it fun.

Great find - thanks. If I heard him properly - he said a "964 RS" rather than a '94... My wish list of course includes a 92 US Cup (really a US street-legal RS)... Too bad only 45 were imported and the values keep going north...

And yes - it would be awesome to have him as a DE instructor!.

rohrl has a 964 rs. seen it in a magazine feature. it is black with orange wheels like 7.1 colour scheme.
he said 964. subtitles are wrong. there was no '94 rs. 993 was '95/96
he'd trade them all in for that horse though...

Yep, I remember seeing his 964 too. I like that he mentioned the 904. What about a 906. That's pure heaven!

Like I said... (I have a very good ear for German accents!)

I have that magazine somewhere where Walter was interviewed & he had a 964RS & 997.1RS. Both cars where black with Orange accents.
Too many magazines....gotta get them organized.

One of the first magazines I ever bought: Road & Track Top Speed shootout (approx 1987), it had the Ruf Yellowbird going 211mph: still have it somewhere.

It really is something that Walter Rohl has input into our cars; a true Legend in motorsports!

I would pay real money to have him coach me.

Funny that you remember that...my first was C&D September 1997. The main story was "Best Handling Car" and the e36 m3 beat everything.

Sounds like someone edited the film sound track. Maybe they didn't understand what he said about '964RS' and changed the track to reflect something other than what he said. Personally, I like his comments about the horse. "That's quite an interesting horse.....It's nice."

But that's MY opinion and I'm partial to horses. Whatever!
