The 80s, myth and reality?

Back to C64 times.

Was the "dubious guy in a black 911 Turbo" based on a real 80s cliche?

C64 haha better than a Speccy, I had a Amiga 500 then 600 now that was class

Don’t know about the guy but that oversized bar counter at the tail certainly was.

My Dad owned a 911 for a few years - I think it was a 76. Nice motor, lovely quality, but yeah.... huge spoiler. I suppose it was just part of the style back then, though I doubt many of them ever got driven fast enough for it to serve any practical purpose.

Edward, I bet the Jaguar XJ220 would give it some competition haha
