I thought the issue was that Sid sold a car with the
exact vin. How did this guy get a title? If I were the
guy that bought the car from Sid I would be worried that
the Mystery Roadster fellow would show up with a title
and demand the car be turned over to him. On the flip
side, he could take a trip down to Florida and pick up a
free Mystery Roadster.

BTW- Roadsters took 1st, 2nd, and 4th on Sunday at the
local autocross. I got second. Mike Steinbach got 1st
in his beautifully restored solex 68, and his brother
got 4th. We beat a couple of RX7's, an IT prepared MR2,
a V6 Fiero, a Cortina on slicks, and a nice E30 M3. The
Cortina was reclassed, but we beat him anyway.
