    Well, rare and new model Bentleys are fine. As for posting the FXX, if it aint on Atlanta roads, it doesnt belong.

    My first day of spotting in Atlanta in a long while and I was rewarded with 8 Italian cars.
    My first ever spotting of the Lamborghini LP560-4 roadster was a highlight, it sounds great. Only one car escaped my camera and it was a red Ferrari 355 spider with a rear challenge grille. It was in Midtown, one block off of Piedmont near Ponce de Leon traveling on a one way street.

    1.White Lamborghini Gallardo roadster-Terminus
    2.Gray Ferrari F430 spider-Terminus
    3.Black Ferrari F430-Lenox
    4.Dark Red Lamborghini LP640 roadster-on Peachtree and Piedmont

    6.Red Ferrari 355 spider-Midtown
    7.Dark red Ferrari 355 GTS-Virgina Highlands
    8.Black Lamborghini Gallardo coupe-Lenox

    Also today 6 different Nissan GT-R's on the road.

    Welcome back! Awesome spot on the LP560/4 Roadster, I cant wait to see that thing, and the 355 I saw was the same red GTS you saw in the Highlands.

    One thing I've noticed with the GT-R's is that sometimes I can go for several weeks without seeing a single one and then see 4-5 of them in one day, it's pretty weird.

    Hi Andrew, it's nice to be back! Hope all is well? Here is a second shot of the LP560-4 roadster parked at Rio Grande... I missed seeing your photos at Italian Car Day. Did you attend? West

    Everything is going great, I wasn't able to go to Italian Car Day because of my work schedule. I had everything planned out to go the week before but after it was rescheduled there was no way I could make it. Hope all is well with you.

    It's a client of mine. We did 20in Techart Formula wheels, TechArt Aero package, Techart Exhaust and Intake, and we sent the ECU off to Evolution to get flashed. He's 22 years old

    I see it all the time on Shallowford and Johnsonsferry and I thought he looked young. Well, Techart did a damn good job cause it looks nice and more manly than the factory Cayman. Not sure how a 22yr old has one like that tricked out but good for him. It's nice.

    He is avtually the second owner. We did the car origanlly for another gentlemen who traded it into Hennesey for a C2s. The guy who owns it now traded in is non "S" Cayman for it. His father owns 2 strip clubs.

    Thanks for poking fun at me.....:). I dont know what the hell I was thinking when I posted the new GT3 up as a GT3 RS. Maybe deep down inside I wished it was the new 2010 GT3 RS.

    The F40 was at the marietta store back in 07. It had a little bit of motorwork and both the current owner and previous had used it on the track quite a bit. We were putting tires on it. The customer wanted to go back with the OEM set up. By chance we had the only fronts in the country and the rears had to come from Italy at Pirelli, They didn't import to nor make that size in the US because no one really runs 17in wheels on Supercars anymore. From what i've been told the owner had a McLaren F1, an F50, and an Enzo back at home. The F40 and his Ford F250 Superduty have been the only cars of his I've seen. I think he had something to do with Formula 1 Imports years ago when it was around.

    Ah - I was hoping it was someone else. We know the F1 and Enzo have moved on; your post suggests the F40 has, too. It shocks me to my very core that Atlanta has essentially none of the supercars.

    I know there was atleast 2 F1's in Atlanta, one green and one orange, I think the orange one was sold. Both of those owners have Enzos as well. The guy with the F40 would have made for McLaren #3 in atlanta, but I think it went to Florida. A buddy of mine worked at the Verizon off of Howell Mill and said he had seen the green one twice and I had heard about it previous to that. Mr. Weiner had the orange one

    He brings it to the local Caffeine and Octane show pretty regularly so most of us have seen it a few times, but it's still pretty cool to see it around town.

    As for my pictures...

    Monday

    -a pair of DB9's, one at Lenox the other at Bones
    -Viper SRT/10 at Terminus

    Yesterday

    -Not too sure but possibly an updated Porsche Boxster, the taillights look a little like the new 10 911. Anytime I see manufacturer plates on a Porsche, I make sure to take a picture because they are always on the road before they come out here in Atlanta.

    Today

    -996 GT3 on Piedmont
    -430 Spyder on Tennessee plates at Lenox

    Just a refreshed Boxster that they introduced last year. The new ones have an option to get PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung). Try saying that 3 times fast.
