Default Accosted my first 928 driver in San Diego

I usually just wave and move on. Or notice and do nothing.

But this time I was on one of my favorite 2 lanes that leads from 15 to 67, - on my way to 15.

Coming up fast on a corner I see the distinctive tail lights of an S4. I catch up on a straight and he waves me by with a thumbs up. But I thought about it, and I stopped at a safe pull out and waited for him. I Flagged the guy down like I was a police officer or something - must have looked wierd. But he did stop, and I introduced myself and asked if he knew about rennlist.

Very pretty car. That gold brown color, auto, probably 88 or so.

Anyway, would have been even better if I was in my (finished) 78 when I saw him.

So, did he know about Rennlist?

I got a kick out of Roger's story about the guy who Chuck Schreiber turned on to the DFW group. He moved here from somewhere up north, and was going to sell his car because he thought there was no support group around here.

Not to mean any disrespect to him, but
