Audi Highbred

Spotted old/new Audi highbred..........

Wife and I were heading to Windsor yesterday, we've just past London on the 
#401 when we come up to this CGT with Nebraska plates.  Wife slows down and 
creeps up on his tail - the car is red, he's doing about 75km/h on a 
100km/h highway, smoking badly, the big "Coupe" lettering across the back 
has been replaced with "Quattro" and poorly done at that.  Car has 2 "S" 
badges on back (one on each corner).  Back and rear side windows covered in 
decals - mostly from the '70's.  I personally liked the "Thrush" and the 
"Hurst" ones - haven't seen those in years.  His right rear tire has quite 
a wobble - tires look undersized and I bet they were even mismatched.

Pull along side he has replaced his Audi badges with "S" badges.  Original 
rims painted black, driver (50 something) gives us a big smile and a wave. 
 Looks like he lives in his car since it is jammed with bags and boxes. 
 Wife pulls ahead - he has replaced his front grill with what looks like a 
very poorly done diamond shape grill painted red (wife said it looked like 
fencing).  No front spoiler, bumper painted - you could almost see the 
brush strokes.  But what really got us laughing was the duct tape that 
appeared to be holding down the hood.

About 5 hours later were heading back and at the service centre near 
Chatham we spot this car getting back on the #401 (guess it needs frequent 
and long rests).  So if he made it the border and anyone driving between 
Detroit - Nebraska spots this car over the next week or so, do us all a big 
favor and shoot the car.  I would have done it but we're not allowed to own 
guns.
