Default Saw British S4 in Palo Alto !!!

So I was driving down El Camino Real at 4:30p Saturday to get a Jamba Juice (Peeyna Kowlada if you must know), and I saw a Red S4 up ahead. The car had a wide yellow Euro plate with black letters. Kind of cool I thought - "I wonder whether the cops allow that?"

I end up passing his lane of traffic on El Camino Real and look in my rear view mirror. WTF? The driver is on the wrong side?

Wait, objects in mirrors are the opposite,... no, they're closer,... I thought I was going crazy. So, I looked at some other cars in my rear view mirror and the drivers were on the left.

So, I wasn't going crazy - someone had imported (or is Audi testing?) a Right Hand Drive Red S4. The license plate bracket (such as it is, being wide and all) read "Austin Redding Green" 0000 (my poor imitation of an Audi Symbol) or something, which I assume is a British Audi dealer.

Weird huh?

BTW, I own an Aluminum Silver Metallic 1998.5 A4 1.8 tqms, with Ronal RT wheels (bought the wheels last year before the rash of LZ and RT purchases
