Found this utter gem!

Walter Röhrl talking about his first experience with Tiptronic.
I personally found this hilarious as it's, perhaps, a bit out of character for Herr Röhrl to describe a transmission as being 'gay'.
Just for the record, I have absolutely nothing against Tiptronic or vehicles so equipped. Or gay people.
Edit: Subtitles can be turned on for those non-German speakers.

Has always spoken his mind. Gotta love him for that 
"It was arguably his equivalent success in 1982 that impressed most of all; with Röhrl fending off audacious four-wheel drive opposition led by Audi to take the title, by virtue of consistency, in his increasingly outdated rear wheel drive Opel Ascona 400. Shortly after winning the title, Röhrl was fired from the Opel team by manager Tony Fall due to many disagreements between the two; Röhrl did not want to compete in the RAC rally in which he had little success in the past, and he refused to participate in publicity activities for the team sponsor, tobacco company Rothmans. Röhrl was a strict nonsmoker and simply refused to do any filming for Rothmans publicity spots, claiming that he had been hired as a driver, not as an actor, and that he could not see any sense in making tobacco marketing as a nonsmoker anyway."
