Could it be the one that lives in FoA's basement? Since it has less than 200 miles I find that it's highly likely it is the privately owned one in FoA's basement. -kevin

 

Interesting that the carfax on the ebay ad says it was located in california

 

I only have my camera with me when I know I will be headed out for car spotting. Today I missed out on the pics for the following cars on Saturday,
1.Black Ferrari 355 GTS near the Peachtree airport
2.Black Ferrari 355 spider at the Whole Foods on West Paces
3.Black Ferrari 360 spider on Roswell road near the Lambo store
4.White Audi R8 V10 coming off I-400. I heard it first.

While spotting, I found the R8 from earlier parked at the Ritz.

5.Red Ferrari F430 near Cumberland mall.
6.Red Ferrari F430 on the road in front of the Ritz while I was shooting the R8.

This one was from earlier in the week ,a Ferrari F430 with a challenge grille.

Looks like we'll have to keep an eye on it. Very interesting post.

 

This one is rosso scuderia - very rare on an enzo. Ed's is rosso corsa. The mileage is about right to be his but I know that the window sticker is still on his. I don't see it in these pictures. Strange time to sell the car unless it is a distress sale.

I did hear that someone had made a ridiculously high offer on Ed's Enzo. At the right number, it always makes sense to sell a car that young. The F50 is sold and I would imagine he has his eyes on one with lower miles.

 

Seems like he's in a shi!t hole and needs liquid money quick.

Smells like a scam to me.

 

This is not Ed Wettach's car.

Me too - although I searched for "134588" on this site and four threads came up. Two had pictures of the car, which indicate that it is indeed Rosso Scuderia on red, and one described it as having +/- 175 miles. There is very little information about this car except that it was, at one point, registered in California. It could be real.

Frankly, this is of little importance on spotters' thread grounds. I can't decide what gets driven more: this, or Ed Wettach's.

Poor guy

 

Back from an awesome vacation in NYC, saw one car tonight around midnight in Buckhead, not quite sure what it is though.

This weekend should be good if the weather holds out because the BET awards are being filmed here again on Saturday and last year when they were here it was pretty ridiculous.

-1 black gallardo at Lenox
-2 Ford GTs, one at Fado and another at some restaurant

If anybody goes through the pics and knows what the tuner is of some of the Benzes or BMWs I'd love to know. -kevin

 

1.Black Ferrari 550 Maranello-Fado's
2.Gray Gallardo roadster-Phipps
3.Orange Gallardo roadster-Houston's
4.White Lamborghini Gallardo roadster-Intercontinental
5.Black Audi R8-Lenox

The Audi R8 had a checkered flag theme on its side blades, I hope its removable. The Ferrari 550 looks great but is now a regular every week so I passed on the photo, however I am thrilled to view it everytime! The Orange Gallardo roadster was my favorite of the night. The gray Gallardo sounded fierce as he exited the mall. I do have a dark tail light shot that I will not post due to clarity.

Kevin great job on the photos, I hope you become a regular Buckhead spotter!

I passed on the afternoon gathering around Buckhead. I thought the weather would play a big part on the turnout. I did start spotting after dinner around 8pm. Lamborghini's were once again out in force. Five Gallardo's in total.... I passed on the white one at the Intercontinental because I shot it on Friday.

Spotted an Audi R8 with graphics on the side that killed it. Just my opinion. Also, a Bentley GTC, Maserati Gran Turismo, a couple of Range Rovers, and so forth.

Well, tonight was an interesting night. So me and my buddy who's also on Fchat went to go get dinner at Fellinis on Howell Mill. We were sitting outside when we noticed some nice cars going by. First is was the run of mill elise, then an RV with a car being towed with some big rims, then a S-class, then a white gallardo. Seemed as if it was too good to be true seeing those cars around our neck of the woods. Couple minutes roll by when we were shocked to see Jeezy's LP640 vert rolling through. We're like, we have to see whats up. So after we ate, we followed a car wrapped in some hip-hop advertisement assuming that it would lead us to where we saw the mentioned cars above. Couple miles down the road, we pull into a industrial park with lots of cars parked everywhere. We asked a guy who was detailing a white modified corvette, and he said that Jeezy is doing a video shot here. Surprisingly, all the cars mentioned before and other cars (phantom, drophead, bentleys) were seen. Also spotted Jeezy himself around his car. What a surprising Sunday night.

 

Interesting... I take it you didn't have you camera? -kevin
