Listen "The Kobus Interview, Revisited"
Episode Synopsis
As our hosts recover from their various holidays, we revisit our May 2023 interview with Kobus, BaT commenter and contributor extraordinaire. Randy and Kobus discuss his formative years at Kyalami in South Africa (including talking his way into a media pass for the 1969 and 1970 Nine Hours); his love of driving and racing his vintage Porsches; getting into vintage racing in a stock 356 Cabriolet during the pandemic; and acquiring his Sand Beige 912 racer, seen at tracks and events all over the Northeast, followed by a very historic Formula V car.The two go on to share in the beauty and danger of the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix in Schenley Park; their mutual admiration of the Goodwood Revival; their thoughts on Luftgekühlt; Kobus' work for the 356 Registry in print and online; and pre-war hillclimbs.Links for things mentioned in this episode:2:38 The 1969 Nine Hours of Kyalami and The 1970 Nine Hours of Kyalami9:22 Dispatches From Lime Rock: Kobus Gets His VSCCA License16:07 BaT Photographic Inspiration: Kobus Covers The Goodwood Revival16:22 Red Alfa Giulietta TI sedan on three wheelsGot suggestions for our next guest from the BaT community, One Year Garage episode, or (B)aT the Movies subject?
