thanks for the vidcaps...
i don't know if there is any connection between him and the car with the high mirrors and polished rims (i don't know if it's even #040)....the reason why you see him behind the wheel of this car is because he tested it for AutoWelt 1/97 against the F50 and wrote the article about it, it says text: Hahne under the article...
"Der Mann gefällt mir, denn er zahlt auch jährlich 20 Pfund Sterling Strafe dafür, dass das (englische) hintere kennzeichen nicht gelb, sondern schwarz ist." is one quotation of this article...
translation: i like the man, because he pays a 20-pound-penalty each year, because the british rear license plate is black and not yellow.
i don't know the truth, it's just speculation...
