As you can see from this concert advert from 1977, the tour that year was billed as "In The Flesh" - a phrase later used on The Wall.

Lettuce? I haven’t seen any lettuce around here... I have no idea what could have happened to your lettuce. Are you sure you left it here, you probably left it somewhere else and forgot...

Der Trüffel-Jäger von Zuffenhausen

The 1971 24 Heures du Mans saw the famous "Trüffel-Jäger von Zuffenhausen {truffel hunter from Zuffenhausen} or Pink Pig or Cochon Rose" Porsche 917/20 make its debut. Designed to be the synergy of all 917s it drew its fame from the colour it was painted rather than its race results. The 917/20 had a unique aerodynamic body that combined the handling of the short-tail 917K with the high speed stability of the long-tail 917L ensuring it was as stable as any 917 through corners whilst being the fastest of all 917s down the Mulsanne straight in 1971.

Reinhold Joest and Willi Kauhsen were entrusted with the car for the race and were running 3rd overall when Joest crashed into the barriers and retirement. Despite originally being blamed on driver error the retirement was actually down to brake failure and not Joest's fault. With the 917/20 running faster than any other 917 brake wear was correspondingly high, unfortunately Porsche hadn't factored this into its race strategy so the car crashed before having it's brakes replaced.....

Why was it pink and painted with various pork cuts? Less to do with the motorsport division of Porsche and more to do with the marketing department. Having been called a styling 'pig' a few times in the German press it was decided by a marketing bod that painting the 917/20 up as a butchers drawing would be a great idea. The rest as they say is history, very pink and very unusual but history none the less!
