Rick, I read Karajan also drove Ferraris, GT40, MB Gullwing and Lancia.Originally Posted by LongRanger
Below the famous LP cover were Karajan shows his Porsche Turbo.
While you hear his "Famous Overtüren" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one can marvel about its vinyl cover...
After all, Porsche, Piech, Mozart and Karajan were Austrians. And as Karajan, Mozart was from Salzburg.

I'm not sure he's any one of the Gemini or Apollo astronauts... what if he was just a dude with the same name, and rolled with it? Twice!
Somewhere there's a photo of Jo(h)n Voight picking up his Chrysler LeBaron at the factory...

Armstrong: Then its a wrong title caption in Christophorus. The info about 2 Porsche (one a 911E Targa) could be right.
Carpenter: again, maybe wrong photo.
However, the Christophorus title caption does mention an Astronaut Carpenter, see below

True. But never forget the NASA rocket/lunar program was essentially German engineering by the team of Werner von Braun…
Neil Armstrongs Corvette.
