Default 993 TTs in Palo Alto - Anyone here?

So, I'm driving away from the office in Palo Alto and I see a black 993 coupe coming at me. "Nice front bumper," I say to myself. Then, I see the TTs tail pokin' out the back, and I say to myself "oh, it's a Factory II Aero Kit, just like mine!" Then, as the car's passing by me, I see the yellow calipers, and I say to myself, "it can't be," then, lo and behold, I turn my head as it passes by me, and see the coveted quad exhaust and "Turbo S" badge, and I say, "damn!"

Was it a Rennlister?

I've seen a black turbo S going South on 101 near Brisbane about a month ago. Not sure if this could be the same person. I also said damn - Turbo S, when I saw it pass me up.

Did it also have the tell tale side air intakes in the rear fenders?

I believe I've seen the same car twice in the Russian Hill/North Beach area of the city over the past 3 months or so. Black and with the side air intakes. There were only 180 made right? So probably the same car. Beautiful.
