Atlanta Spotters Thread

Yes, Lebanon...just kidding, I don't know why it says that - I've never been to Kansas in my life. Maybe that's where my phone was made.

 

Drove by about an hour ago. They were still there along with another RR. Saw somebody with what looked like a professional grade movie camera (it was big and he was holding it with both hands) "shooting" the cars.

 

So do you know when the drophead and lambo are coming, and I'm supposed to have lunch in buckhead tomorrow so I hope the SLR, and the 599 and hopefully the drophead are there at about 12:00, because I've never seen a drophead or an SLR before. If Floyd's staying overnight I would suspect him and all his cars that he brought today are going to be there tomorrow at 12, so I can't wait to see what's there tomorrow!

 

Just got back from a trip down to Buckhead...all his cars are still there. Got some good shots of the SLR and 599. No Lambo or Drophead (although Royce Royce MC of Atlanta has an all black drophead in the showroom if you wanna see one).

On the way down there we spotted an all black GTR filling up on Peachtree near the Brookhaven marta...we got some cool photos too, I just need to upload them.

 

The first car seen today was a red 360 spider with Fl. tags traveling on Peachtree. The second Ferrari was another 360 spider...this one had a rear challenge grill and SC tags. Then I found headed south on Peachtree, a dark blue GT40 . This has been a great weekend for spotting exotic cars.....especially the Italian makes.

997 GT3 kinda far behind me in traffic, I saw it pull out from Lenox and was trying my best to wait for it to pass but couldn't because our lights turned green at the same time...

Overall, a pretty good day, and weekend overall for all of us spotters. Today alone I saw my first SLR, 599 and GT-R. Next up, Enzo?

 

Just lucky I guess.

Not in Atlanta!

 

Yeah I know the chances aren't very good of seeing one here, but who would have thought we would get a chance to see the lineup from yesterday all the way from Nevada? I'm still crossing my fingers...

 

What? You thought you guys would be the only ones to see these cars? Me and Mitchell went up to the InterContinental to check 'em out and we saw them, but it was scary when we first got there. Well, the reason it was scary is because we pulled up and only saw the Phantom's and Maybach. We took some pictures and waited for about 10 minutes. While we were taking pictures I looked back to see a black Ferrari 599 GTB parked...umm...yeah. Came out of no where. Pretty happy with what we had seen, but still wanted to see that Mclaren. Five minutes and what seemed like 30 minutes later, a silver Mercedes Mclaren SLR arrives with "MONEY MAYWEATHER" printed on the back. Two men hopped out of the car and left the doors (or wings) open. Perfect for pictures. Here's another shot. I would have never been able to see these cars if it wasn't for Mitchell, or as you know him MYATES41.

 

I actually drove by in the morning and all his cars were there except for his black Phantom. When Victor and I came back at about 1, only the 62s and Phantom were there. Then in a few short, but very suspensful moments later the Ferrari 599 joined the other cars. As you all know Floyd has "MONEY MAYWEATHER" of all of his cars. This one is probably the coolest. Then followed the SLR McLaren. As the SLR "spread its wings" we took some quick pictures. Here is a front shot and Here is a back shot. Today I saw the one of the greatest lineup of cars you could imagine. It was an amazing experience and was very cool to see. I have a video that is on the way.
*One of the valet attendents said the Drophead and Lambo got shipped to the wrong location and had to be re-routed to IC, and should be there this evening.

 

There's one in Atlanta! Just doesn't get driven...ever.

Maybe it'll get stolen.

 

Today was a good day for spotting, not so good a day for taking pictures of the spots though...

Started out with this guy getting in the way of a perfectly good shot of an Aston Martin DB9

Next was a 360 spyder, took several shots to pull a decent one out

Then was the same S5 that I have seen half a dozen times now, I always get excited when I see it from the front but every time as I pass by I realize that it's the same exact one I've seen and photographed plenty of times already and it's just a disappointment.

And finally was a Gran Turismo with a pretty crappy picture

Also seen today but not able to photograph were several Astons, another Gran Turismo, another 360 and a white Phantom.

And last but not least, at around midnight on my way home I passed by Intercontinental to see the exact same 4 cars that have been there the past 2 days, no Lambo and no Drophead Phantom. I'm beginning to think these valet guys are full of crap.

 

I agree completely. In fact, given the huge number of Enzos in Florida I always hold out hope that an Enzo spot is possible - though still very unlikely - here in Atlanta. Since I saw one this summer I'm not as interested as I once was, but of course I'd never turn down an Enzo sighting!

By the way, the Aston that the man is standing in front of on Lenox and Peachtree is a DB9, not a V8 Vantage.

 

Fixed, thanks....are there any things that set the two of them apart besides the tail because I've never been able to tell them apart and most of the owners here in Atlanta like to take the badges off to mess with me.

 

Last night at 6:30 my dad saw the black Rolls-Royce Phantom, Maybach 62s, and two Escalades with Money Mayweather written on the back. The Escalades both had flashing lights while driving behind the cars, and my dad said that the curtains on the Maybach had been drawn and he couldn't see through the Phantom windows either.

 

Didn't see the Lambo but did see the Drophead. My fourth spot of one of those. It's black, with the silver hood, and has black rims. SLR and 599 were parked out in the rain, but didn't see the Maybach or regular Phantom.

 

Turns out the valet guys did know what they were talking about...today as I was headed to work, running late as usual, I snapped this shot of the whole lineup and the black Drophead and some kind of Murcielago were definitely there. You can barely see the Murc but you can see the headlight through the bush. Mayweather and his entourage came up to Lenox for a few hours earlier today and brought the 62 and regular Phantom with them.

Apparently 50 Cent is in town too to host the party tonight, I wonder if he brought any cars with him, and if so, where is he keeping them. He does have an Enzo, or at least he did when they did cribs last year.

Thanks, I wondered where they were.

I read a long article somewhere on F-chat about how they weren't really his cars, any of them, and that they belonged to a man with the initials of SC. But that's all I remember.

Thanks for that picture, also.

 

After doing some research, they aren't his.....apparently he borrowed them for the show

what's up with these guys on Crib's renting stuff out and claiming it's theirs? Remember when Ja Rule did a whole episode about his house and his cars and his boat and it turned out he was renting the entire place from some lady?

 

Nice picture. Is that car next to the Murcielago one of those two door Lexus's? Does that belong to Floyd?

 

Went by Butler Tires this morning and saw this Lamborghini Murcielago. It was probably loaded onto the truck to go somewhere to get a new set of rims. This picture shows off the smoked tail-lights.

 

Great picture, Mitchell.

 

Nice spot Mitchell. This Lamborghini Murcielago is the famous one around Atlanta with the blue after market wheels. Then he later changed them to the blue/red combo wheels. Same Georgia tag in all the photos taken. Wheels really do highlight the appearance of the paint and the figure of the car.

 

FoA got six new Ferraris this weekend. One red Scuderia, one red 599, three 430 Spiders and a 430 Coupe. Not really a spot, but you might see them on the road.
