... thought I'd use this post to see if the guy I saw yesterday is on
the list ... 

I was on the road yesterday morning ... about 11AM ... going south on
US-101 near the First Street interchange in San Jose ... on the Beemer
... I don't think anything of the black dot growing larger in the mirror
... the dot gets big enough that I recognize it as an Audi ... and
bigger still ... hey, that looks like a V8!  Sure enough ... confirmed
V8 sighting as the guy passes me.  Since I'm on the bike I don't attempt
to make contact, but the driver did seem to notice me looking his way.
I do keep him close ... when he pulled on the offramp for I-280/680 I
pulled up alongside and gave him the thumbs-up ... and then held up 2
fingers and pointed to myself ... 

The car had the "V8" and "quattro" badges on the trunk ... perhaps it
was a '92-on, but the wheels almost looked like the flat faced wheels on
the '90 models ... 

So ... anyone here recognize the contact?
