Ah yeah, I remember this story from a while back. There were some incredible cars in the Monaco area. We had the pleasure of meeting Gustav once during his tour of the US last year, we drove him from the Zentrum to a local M5 gathering and then to the airport to go to his next stop, he was a crazy guy and had MANY stories.

Gotta love those M5's.

I'm still waiting for Alex Roy's documentary about his cross-country record setting sprint from coast to coast.

You should get his book "The Driver," it is a really good read. It sounds like he's been making a lot of progress on the 32.07 movie.

That book was SICK. I read it all in a day.

I can't get the original m5board link to work...

I think I will. When I first saw an interview with the guy I thought "What a freaking prick this dude is" - but the more I read about him, I found out he is actually a VERY smart person.

+1 Great read. Very easy.

In the handful of interviews I have seen him in, he seems quite quirky, but he really isn't like that in person. It's amazing how much careful planning went into that Transcontinental run.

I met him in ATL when Clubimmer did the world record drive break. Super cool guy.
