Default Another shark sighting in Austin!

My sister told me today that she saw a red 928 tailing her today on her way to work (down 183 to jollyville road). She thought it was mine at first, but it's not as bright a red... and it had an S4 wing and flush taillights. And wheels similar to these:

She said he must have been in a hurry

I show a Mr. Smith with a red 90 GT in Austin on my Texas 928 owners list. He was at Sharkfest, could be him. Not sure if he's a rennlister.

Might have been Tad Breeden's 88 S4 with turbo twists. It's a beauty, and for sale too (http://www.hcrpca.org/classifieds/index.php), so pass the word. Tad's flies for Southwest Airlines, so I know he appreciates high-powered machines

My bro-in-law has done some minor tweaking to the car and it screams sumpin' fierce! It lights up tires very nicely too
