Default Red 968 spotted in Redwood City, CA

Does anyone recognize this 968? Around 5pm today it was sitting outside the Century Theater off Middlefield in Redwood City.

Could be Arash's car?

Chris,

Still going to Laguna Seca this Saturday? I plan on showning up with my 951 around 7:30. I will not be putting it on the track though. Just watch you guys have fun.

arash out never put those pimpin wheels on his car.

I'll be there with arash and his bro, roger in his new NSX, and a couple of guys from work so it should be fun. You probably didn't hear that I broke my collar bone and just had surgery last Fri. So I'll just be watching from the sidelines also.

You can get a ride in someones car if you want. Unfortunately, I'm not healed up enough to ride along. You should ask the guy in the group 4 F430 if you want to take a ride. Trevor can tell you all about the open passing in group 4 from his ride at sears point.

Here is the list of cars and sched.

See you there!

Raj I was pretty sure they were not Ruf wheels, although they really look that way in the photo. These spokes were more rounded compared to the Ruf wheels which are flat. The car was pretty clean looking though I didn't get a chance to walk up and take a closer peak.

My red coupe has B-pillars painted car color. Some other cool uniquenesses but that's the easiest one to spot.

Is that why firetrucks are red?
I guess they need that extra speed boost.

Formula Red, man. Can't touch it. That's a much more aggressive name than Guards Red, anyway.
