Manta fahrer sounds like a mirror image of a typical Ford Capri owner from the mid eighties. Manta's were actually fairly rare in the UK and their amazing ability to rust away combined with the attitude of what was the Vauxhall/Opel dealer network not supporting cars much over 8 years old means they are now incredibly rare here.

I have to admit I have a big soft spot for them.

Heh, I always love the sound of squealing tires on dirt. Nothing says 'academy award for sound design' like that!

I guess we have all seen bits of this but its an absolute classic. Walter Rohl, Audi quattro S1 and Portuguese spectators, a scary mix!

Opera singer had great instumentals, great story, moving piece - but his voice is average at best for opera.
