    Saw a black Conti GT, a black RennTech SL Benz, and some assorted Maseratis when I was in town yesterday for the Coldplay concert.

    From the thread, looks like there's quite a selection in Atlanta. Cool stuff!!

    The Maserati sounded good and appeared to be in great shape.The R8 looked great in red. Note the large prancing horse statue in front of the 308. The GT40 replicar was race ready.... even the roof of the drivers door had the space for a drivers helmet.

    Nice spot Jeremy....like that color combo. Yep, thats a V8 Vantage, Andrew. BTW, those are going for cheap. You can pick one up between 70k-80k -----> CHEAP. A lot of car prices are fallen.

    On a side note, that murci belongs to Ciara? Damn, I knew I should have gone after her when I saw her pull out of that parking lot. Damn, I just knew something was special.....just thought it was some random rich chick....damn, kicking myself in the ass. On that day, I saw the lp640 at the auto show and seeing that blue murci with aftermarket rims didnt do it for m3, so thats why I let the opportunity pass by.

    Saturday, November 8:
    - light blue Aston-Martin DB9 Volante at a car wash on Roswell Road near Wieuca Road.
    - red Ferrari F430 at Capitol Grille in Buckhead.
    - pink/red Hummer H1 on Trout Unlimited plates at Tin Lizzy's. I took this shot only for the color, which was much more pink in person.

    Sunday, November 9:
    - black Bentley Continental GT Speed on 'Race Car Hall of Fame' plates on Roswell Road near Andrews Drive.

    I saw that Phantom in late October at Lenox on completely different (also dealer) license plates and thought the same thing - did they make the wheels smaller? Sure looks like it.

    DBS!!!

    I followed down Mt. Paran all the way to Northside where he turned and I decided to go home. I first saw it turning onto Roswell Rd from Glenridge, my guess is that it's a doctor from Northside Hospital

    And yeah Doug, those wheels look like a smaller size than the ones that it comes with

    possible explanation: smaller diameter rims means a larger sidewall which equates to a smoother ride... possibly the owner wanted different wheels than stock but didn't want to get low profile tires which give a much bumpier ride.

    Went out for a late night food run and I spot very familiar set of headlights. I already knew what it was, so I went to pursue it. Silver, still on dealer tags, R8. It was an older couple driving through a not so good part of ATL....later turned onto 75 north from Howell Mill. Getting onto 75, he floors the thing.....he knew I was in pursuit so he was trying to lose me.....cant lose me that easily. Here are some crappy pics from cell phone.

    Hey, does anyone know if the Scuderia is still at the Ferrari dealership? I want to go check it out but I feel hesitant b/c I dont know anyone and they might kick me out or something. It'll be me first time in a Ferrari dealership or any exotic car dealership for that matter. You guys want to go as a group or something if its still there, or meet up there?

    Yeah they definitely don't care if you come up there and look around...I've been up there a few times and had my camera out taking pictures of the cars in the showroom and nobody has said a word to me. While you are up there, you should stop by the Porsche dealership on Mansell Rd, they have a silver Carrera GT for sale and they are always real cool there too.

    I went up there the other day and do not recall seeing a Scuderia. However, they do have a 575M Superamerica, which is certainly a more interesting, more exotic car.

    I have heard the Superamerica has been sold and is no longer there, but do not know for sure.

    It has been a while since i have posted but i have a couple of spots from a while back. The first great spot i had was a F430 Scuderia in red on I-75. Gainesville where i live is becoming a great place to spot cars recently. So far I have seen a Ford GT, Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari 348, not one but TWO Aston Martin DBS's one in green and one in black. The Lamborghini Gallardo is a friend of mine at school, and the same with the green DBS. I will try to get the pictures up, but it might be a while.
