    My wife and I attended a very nice private party tonight that among the guest list included Mr and Mrs Ruf. The first picture is of Mrs Ruf and myself
    in front of my 348 Speciale. She was an extremely gracious woman and very pleasant to talk with. Imagine my surprise when she informed me that she
    loved Ferrari's. She in fact told me that they are so sexy, including her own
    personal Dino!!!! She did not object when I asked her for a photo with her
    in front of my "italian" car.

    The second pic is of myself, Mr Ruf and my wife standing beside one of his
    cars.

    And lastly, the final pic is of the infamous yellowbird.

    Very, very nice people.

    I remember the yellow bird from high school....211 mile top speed. That was 100 miles an hour faster than the fly yellow 924 I drove at the time.

    Whoa... is the yellow one under the tent (with the big cheese grater) Steve Bredour's car? Check for Minnesota license plates.

    He was at VIR with us in the spring, and wow... that car can haul a$$.

    Upon closer inspect, it's not Beddor's car. He has a towing eye pierced through the rear Minnesota license plate. The one in your picture didn't appear to have that "modification"

    Okay Daniel, I guess we're going to have to play fistycuff's. Beddor was
    at the party, and that is his car!!!! Please don't make me jump up from
    behind this desk, drive to Winston Salem, and show you what the ****
    is going on. Of course, if I were to do that, I'm sure a few of us 348 guys
    could go for a nice cruise through the twisties in N.C.

    But tom did they show the Video of the yellow CTR on the full nurburgring?
    If they did it is one of the best things on how a real driver can make a car work i have ever seen

    Whoa man, no need to open a can of whoop-ass on me ! I dare you to drive your 348 down to NC. I double-dare you.

    :) Just yankin' your cord...


    Next time you see Steve, let him know the DVD of his car at Daytona has made the rounds here in NC and we're all quite impressed! He smoked a good number of "legendary" Porsches and seemed to have fun doing it.

    AndrewG,

    Is that the Horizon Blue RUF featured years back in Performance Car or some British Car Magazine ? I remembered the story started with a Mr X etc...who decided to upgrade the car rather than buying a new Turbo...something like that. Thanks.
