At the Hershey Parade I was invited to a local Porsche shop that had a reception with Alois Ruf and the original Yellowbird. I got to touch it and sit in it and I bought a DVD of the Yellowbird screaming around the Nurburgring. He signed my copy of the DVD.
He met his wife in Oklahoma City at a one of our local War Bonnet Region events. He came to town as an invited guest to one of our Tech Sessions and he fell in love while he was here. The lady that was the manager of the Marriott is now his wife. She was the person I had to deal with for the meeting rooms at the hotel.
He had the original Yellowbird at the autocross doing some demo runs. That thing squats and GOES. I so wanted a ride.
