I got one better – this afternoon I ran into IRL driver Justin Wilson at a bike shop in Westminster!
No fur or whiskers on him, like that big cat in your shot, but still! I had no idea he lives here in the metro area and about s*** when I saw him unfold himself (he’s very tall) out of his pretty little 3 series BMW. Talked w/ him for a few minutes, nice guy. Finished 11th in points this season. One of the Champ Car transitional teams, so not surprising.
FYI, for those who don’t know who he is: http://www.indycar.com/drivers/driver.php?driver_id=408. I’d forgotten he also did a year in F1, in 2003.
