      I used to own a 911 Carrera 3.0 Targa 1977 model . I bought it in Germany in 1986 with only 54 thousand kilometres on the clock and only one previous owner , and it was the most fun car i ever had and drove. I was 20 years old and 4 month shy of my 21rst birthday when i bought it . Most young people would have killed themselves in it . If you dont respect it it will bite you. im an old far now and drive a 3.5 Mercedes coupe. Nothing beats a 911 . Its driving it its purest form. It feels so alive . Pure joy. I miss it !

      @@karimmaamar7782 With cash . Its was a well kept 2nd hand. Bought it in Bavaria , left hand drive and took it back to London. Only had 52 thousand kilometers on the clock and had one previous owner . I bought it with 500 Deutschmark bills in the mid 80s when cash was king and no questions were asked. You could not do that now. That Carrera 3.0 Targa was 32 grand but because it was paid for with cash , the guy took 2 K off and gave me a squeeze . Most enjoyable fun car i ever had. Now i am a 59 year old fart and drive a classic Mercedes coupe . I would look a bit silly now in a sports car with my paunch and slowly reseeding hairline . Growing old gracefully can be depressing as much as it might be a tripe boring .

    I've had some history with ruf, not just with the two vhs videos that I own. But also my older brother sat in the yellow bird when he was a few months. Not to mention I have an uncle on the German side work at the ruf car company at one point. Ahhh good old memory's.

      You can see him tightening his harnesses like 3 times. Jokes aside he couldn’t even drive that fast without a seatbelt, he’d fall out of the seat

    The fact that this is done when the circuit is open to the public is extra nuts. I’d love to manually clean up and upscale from the best copy of this that’s around. It’s already so incredible to watch but upscaled well? It would be even better

    From above, there is no indication of the chaos that is going on in that cockpit. It just looks like a Sunday drive. Negative Ghost Rider! Think of that? No driver assistance of any kind. That’s a master at work. A pure driver. God I love my 911❤️

    Love this!! Id honestly be a bit scared to run a car like this on that track at higher speeds
    Short wheelbase, tons of power...better be on your A game!
    What Id give to drive that car for a weekend, even if its just local driving.
    What a machine!

      @DStabs720 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @German Retro Guy yea that is a monster engine. Since I’m from the states we got robbed of having Toyota diesels. The US thinks diesels are not good unless they are in full size trucks. It’s a shame. Diesels should be in way more small vehicles here.

  • @jhconjr
    @jhconjr ปีที่แล้ว

    An indirect indication of the speed is that the steering wheel is constantly moving for the entire lap, even on the ‘straight’ sections. No stability control, traction control or ABS. No helmet, fire suit or gloves, either.
    It wasn’t that long ago but it still seems otherworldly👍👍👍
