    Speaking of the rural south, I spotted this Z8 parked at the CVS on Linger Longer Rd & Hwy 44, at Lake Oconee this afternoon. Quite a spot for around here. Sorry for the poor quality picture :\

    Congratulations! I'm so glad that car stayed local. In Denver I never see verde ithaca Lambos, and it would've been a shame to have one fewer in Atlanta. I hope it's everything you want from it!

    Last night in Atlanta I caught a red Lamborghini Gallardo Spider at Intercontinental on vanity plates 'RYN KNG' and a black Aston-Martin DB9 Volante at Terminus, both around 10pm. Apologies for the poor pictures, but night shots are notoriously bad. It's nice to be back in Atlanta! :)

    Black Rolls Royce Phantom with matching rims at Pricci at 9:00. I think it was Charles Grant of the N.O. Saints.

    Welcome back!

    Past few days, I've been getting lazy as I haven't been seeing all that much.

    Vantage at Lenox, 430 Spyder at the pizza place across the street from Butler Tire on Roswell Rd. Tonight, possibly a 996 GT2, the picture doesn't really help to tell if it's fake or not though. Also at the Terminus was an Exige. Does anybody know of anywhere good to park at the Terminus to where we can get out and take pictures? Some days there is some pretty cool stuff and I wanna get out to take pics but I haven't found anywhere to put my car in the mean time and I don't want to pay to park in the deck. Oh and I saw a dark grey R8 on my way to work today too and the light blue Murcielago that is seen almost every day at Lenox, but it has new rims that are still matching light blue with a red lip.

    My first photo is a classic car but the make and model is one I do not know. I hope someone can help identify this car. I did take a photo of the infamous blue Murcielago only because the aftermarket wheels now remind me of a K-Mart picture frame on a Mona Lisa painting. The third shot is the same Lotus Exige in ZonderF's night shot and parked directly across from the Lotus was a silver Ferrari F430 spider.

    That first car is an Austin Healey Sprite, famously nicknamed the "bug-eyed sprite"...not rare by any means but a very cool car nonetheless.

    I think I've seen that gray Ferrari F430 before, did the licencse plate read "BBJ 0078?" Anyways, here is a Lamborghini Murcielago that I saw in the parking lot in front of the gym at my country club.

    Nice spot...but that is also a LP640, not just a Murcielago. Anyways, today my dad and I drove up to LoA to look at a certain car and we were able to see many more surprises. Including two, new LP560/4's, one white, one black. I then saw ruebenk's car being worked on, this was the verde ithaca Lamborghini Murcielago. Then I saw a red 550 Maranello and orange LP640 roadster in the shop as well. After looking at all the cars in the shop, I went outside to see Allan, the owner of a white Lamborghini LP640 parking his car. My three final spots of the day were a silverstone Aston Martin V8 Vantage at Starbucks at 1:00 P.M. and the Rolls Royce from the IC being driven on Peachtree. And last but not least, a black Prevost RV...yes, an RV, worth 1.5 million dollars. The car had Fulton tags and a helicopter owner's license plate. It had a trailer with Dirt Bike racing stickers so I'm guessing it was a team on tour, I think it was some guys from Monster Energy Drink. Every seat in the car is Alligator and there is a small movie theater towards the back.

    Here are some more pictures that I have that have not been posted. Here is a S63 AMG, I know that it's a terrible picture, I had it zoomed in to take this picture of a red BMW 840, and I couldn't zoom out fast enough. Here is a cool Maserati I saw coming out of Phipps to see The Dark Knight, whick was probably the greatest movie ever. In the Phipps parking lot there was this Cayenne GTS. At my country club today there was this Shelby GT500. This is a special spot- I think this is a Ferrari California GTO, but I'm not sure I just looked up Ferrari California on Google images and tried to find one that looks alike. here is a link to the Google picture.
    http://blog.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/1962%20Ferrari%20250%20GTL_02.jpg. If someone could please identify this car that would be great because I just guessed to what kind it is.

    What a great day for cars. The day started with a orange Lamborghini Murcielago coupe with Florida tags. Second (no photo), was a black Panoz roadster that entered the Lenox mall area but did not enter the valet section. Third was a red Ferrari F430 spider Carolina tags (Chops restaurant). Fourth was a red Ferrari F430 coupe with after market wheels (Atlanta Fish Market). Fifth was a red Ferrari F430 spider (Aria restaurant). Sixth was a Ferrari F430 coupe (Capital Grille). Seventh was a silver Ferrari 360 Modena (on West Paces). Last is this red enclosed motorcycle vehicle that I have no clue what it was.

    Thanks! It's nice to be back. :)

    Some noteworthy spots yesterday included a gray Aston-Martin V8 Vantage on Florida plates parked in general parking at Phipps Plaza, and a black Lotus Exige (which we all seem to have caught!) at Terminus valet, both in the early evening. This morning at around 10am, I caught a blue Alpina B7 on North Carolina plate "ALPINAB7" parked in general parking at Phipps as well.

    Spot of the day, though, was a black Ferrari F430 on Tennessee 'University of Tennessee National Champions' plates parked in general parking near Cost Plus near the intersection of Peachtree and Piedmont.

    cool! looks like the engine is back in. hopefully pick it up early this week!
    the red 550 spot there is probably the 2003 575 that I traded in for the lambo.

    Cruised around Buckhead some last night in my 430. I went through the Lenox parking lot at the same time that blue Lambo was pulling in (I was behind him). Car looks awesome in person. I also saw the red 430 at Capital Grille.

    Everytime I go by Fado's in my 430 the valets actively wave me in. You know, I don't get the same reaction when I'm in my pickup truck. I guess it's my ride they want out front and not my dazzling personality:)

    I will shoot you a PM on the 575 for more details. I just saw it in their inventory and have been looking for a 575.

    I really hope the spotters' thread regulars were able to get down to the Intercontinental sometime this afternoon... boxer Floyd Mayweather's entourage came in driving a silver Mercedes-McLaren SLR, a silver Maybach 62S, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom LWB, and a black Ferrari 599 GTB with the rare 'pentastar' wheels. All of the vehicles were on Nevada plates with 'Money Mayweather' spelled out on the rear of each vehicle, and I was lucky enough to see the valets park the SLR and 599 side-by-side! The perfect welcome back to Atlanta. :)

    Also caught a gray Aston-Martin V8 Vantage on Florida plates near Peachtree and Lenox.

    Amazing shots and spots, Doug. And thanks Ruebenk for pointing out that the "550" was actually a 575...and mwhitesell, I don't know who Larry Dean is but that wasn't his house.

    He needs to learn a thing or two about entourages. The star drives the hot car and the two or three bodyguards and hoards of other useless people ride in large SUVs. Preferably matching Hummer H1s if you are going to have the most intimidating entourage of all. You don't want any of your goons driving in cars that could take attention away from your own. The SLR was a very good choice for a flashy car to be seen in. It would have been better if it was a SLR Roadster but I'll give him props anyways. But then one of his associates pulls up in a 599 and takes a large portion of the attention and flash away from the SLR....and then an EWB Phantom? Mr. Mayweather, you've got to keep your p*mp hand strong. You can't be letting your employees get all comfortable in these fancy cars of yours.

    This post was a joke. Don't take it seriously nor should you take offense to it.

    I looked back at your picture and it said it was from Kansas. I thought you were here. Larry Dean has Dean Gardens, the big pink place next to Country club of the south with his own golf course. He has a similar group of cars. No F-cars though.
