You know I know it, Ray, righ? So I won't spoil it for others. But he has little to do with WRC ...

I should hope you would be able to name him

Why would you be spoiling it for others?

You're correct.

But can you tell who this is?



Hint - a very prominent and influential figure in sportscars and F1. Not a driver

yup, of course porsche & honda are my 2 favorite marques (look at my sig and that should be a no-brainer to figure out). 4 of the 5 cars i have ever owned have been one of these 2 marquees.

the car's ive owned that are not in my sig are an 84 civic 1500S hatchback, and a 1985 corolla SR5.


there are so many parallels between these 2 men's lives and their history & design philosophies (altho, to a MUCH lesser extent with design).
