Got the wonderful opportunity to spend 4 days with Freddy Kottulinsky a
couple of weeks ago in Arjeplog.
Say, that Paris/Dakar thing can't be all that tough a race  :-)  Freddy says
he won it in something like a VW Iltis back in the 80's.  Just kept putting
along 23 days, something like @ 116 vehicles entered (in the car class), 51
finishers .... cleaned Porsche's clocks  :-)  


(Actually, I don't even know if Porsche had an entry in that particular
1979-80 Paris/Dakar, but 
VW had Freddy, and the something like @115bhp Iltis!)
