Talking AUDIO: Interview with GUSTAV- AT 186 MPH-By JIDEX

OK guys I had the opportunity to meet up with the man himself GUSTAV this weekend in NY.

I conducted an Interview with him on Sunday morning which is below.


Please note this is an audio video only. There is no actual video for you to see as the camcorder was accidentally left on Night shot mode

We hit speeds of 186 mph with Gustav recording it

All in all we had a blast
Enjoy the audio interview

GUSTAV is the owner of the M5/M6 Board
I specifically asked him about all those videos which have caused so much consternation over here

He really is a true car fanatic and very very likeable in my opinion.

We had some great races this last weekend

I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to hear his voice. A true unbiased enthusiast that truly knows the pecking order of German automobiles.

That's a trip to put the voice with the name. I had the Gustav voice more "Ivan Dragoish" in my mind. Pretty cool to hear him though.

-M6 convertible Vs E63 AMG
-Dinan S3 high speed run
-M6 186 mph high speed run
-M6 vs Mustang GT

It was alot of fun
