Don't think so. I looked at the attachment - and it is a great write up.

Love Hans Stuck's jacket patch... "Sex - Birthright of Champions". Nice.

It's amazing how much all the cars have changed- except the 911's. The similarities between that Brumos RSR and a modern RSR are ridiculous when you think about it.

It's "breakfast" of champions.


James Hunt was famous for wearing that patch as well.
