 CylonRedPremium,MVM join:2000-07-06 Bloom County | A friend went to a party sometime last week - maybe last weekend in Ohio. Not sure if it was Dayton or Columbus (I think the taj Garaj in Dayton was doing a fund raiser) and my friend talked to a nice older guy. Turns out that they both own the same color (Inca orange) BMW 2002 tii. The gentlemen he was talking to has stated in the past that that car was his most favorite car of all time to drive.

At the end of the conversation my friend got a business card from the gentlemen - none other than Bobby Rahal.

He won in CART which at the time - outside of F1 - had the best all around drivers.
I am not sure I knew that he helped develop the Honda NSX - nice...
