No. He got the R8 ontop of the Gallardo spyder (which is now blue), Hummer H2, Nismo 350 and G37. He is getting an LP640 rdstr in spring of 2010.

 

Saw a few cars yesterday and today...

Saturday

-430 at Phipps
-Corniche on Roswell Rd
-Viper SRT/10 at Arby's

Today

-430 Spyder on Peachtree
-two different SRT/10 Coupes, one on Peachtree the other at Outback on Roswell Rd...I had only seen two of these before today so it was a bit weird to see two new ones in the same day
-Gallardo Spyder at Fellini's Pizza, the orange interior looked pretty cool
-Viper SRT/10 in Tucker

You sure.......? Heck if I had a SLR McLaren, it would be garaged on Black Friday.

 

The gran turismo and SLR were on saturday night sorry. lol I would take it out then either

 

Are you kidding me? If I had any of these cars, I would drive them every day no matter what the weather or traffic was like. They are made to be enjoyed, not parked in a garage on the weekends when the nice weather for the year is probably almost gone.

 

I agree completely........but on Black Friday, the busiest shopping day. I wouldnt until all the havoc is over. Would you drive out if there was hail falling? There are limitations.

The recent Top Gear episode hosted Chris Evans who lets the highest 7 bidders of his charity auction to drive all of his Ferraris. Hats off to him. I think its important to share these car with everyone as well.

 

I drove through Buckhead on Friday after I got off work and it wasn't all that busy, I've seen normal summer Saturdays where there were more people at the malls and the valets were filled with exotics. As for driving a car in hail, that is an extreme situation and it's not like it happens every day, what I was trying to say was that normal situations (rain, cold, etc) wouldn't keep me from driving.

I haven't watched the new Top Gear yet but that guy is awesome, not only does he have a slew of awesome Ferrari's, but they are all WHITE!! If he does something like that again, I may just have to donate an entire years salary to get the chance to drive that white F40.

 

Thanks to everyone for contributing! Everyone here makes this thread so great! And Happy Thanksgiving to you as well, West, and everyone in this section!

I've been home for the holidays, but have returned to Atlanta and caught a black Bentley Continental (the old model) on temporary plates last night on Highland Avenue just north of St. Charles.

There is a SLR 722S at the Mercedes in Buckhead on Piedmont Rd. Went today and it was breathtaking. Sad to see it go though since the SLS will be replacing it early next year. Car is still not bought yet by anyone so its just sitting..........and looking beautiful.

 

What Color?

 

Here is a picture of the SLR it has been there for awhile.

I have to share :

This car has so much presence! I've seen an Enzo, Carrera GT, and some other very exotic street cars, but the 722S is the most breathtaking I've seen. -kevin

 

Thanks for pic. The car recently moved to the side building as there was a charity event yesterday. My buddy found it nonetheless on autotrader , and we decided to check it out.

Here it is on autotrader. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=n&car_id=265180886&dealer_id=44646949&car_year=2009&rdm=1260018614930&lastStartYear=1981&model=SLR_CLASSCLASS_SERIES&num_records=25&systime=&make2=&highlightFirstMakeModel=&start_year=1981&keywordsfyc=&keywordsrep=&engine=&certified=&body_code=0&fuel=&awsp=false&search_type=both&distance=25&marketZipError=false&search_lang=en&sownerid=89969&showZipError=y&make=MB&keywords_display=&color=&page_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&min_price=&drive=&default_sort=priceDESC&seller_type=b&max_mileage=&style_flag=1&sort_type=priceDESC&address=30332&advanced=&end_year=2010&doors=&transmission=&max_price=&cardist=5&standard=false

Saturday, I made one pass around Buckhead and I observed a Dark Blue Lamborghini Gallardo coupe at Phipps and a red Countach LP5000 QV coming out of Whole Foods on West Paces Ferry. It's been around 2 years since I last observed this car. Doug (Ddemuro) I know you spotted this car numerous times. Do you know if it is carburated or injected? West

It's been sitting there for around 6 months, I've been meaning to go by there but just haven't yet

I was thinking the same thing, it's been a good while since we've seen that car but I saw it both yesterday and today driving in Buckhead..

Nice spot! I believe that to be one of the twelve carbureted cars imported to the United States. It's a very neat car to see around.

Brilliant.

 

Past few days..

Sunday

-550's at both St. Regis and Fado

Today

-Something I thought I wouldn't ever see again in Buckhead, the famous blue Murcielago. It was on the same plate as before so it had to be the same guy that had it last time, I'm just surprised to see him driving it since it apparently needs a lot of work
-Bentley GTC Speed at Phipps
-Porsche 997 GT2 in the Publix shopping center on Roswell Rd

Thanks, Doug for the info on the Countach! West

 

Three cars found tonight,

1.Red Ferrari 360 spider-Vinings near I-285
2.Silver Ferrari F430 spider-New York Prime
3.Blue Lamborghini Murcielago-Chops

The 360 was on the move, I did snap off a shot but it looks awful due to poor lighting so I will not post it. This car had black after market wheels and a rear challenge grille with Cobb County tags. Like Zonder mentioned previously, the blue Murcielago was back in town on a very cold 38 degree evening.

hahahahaha

that was me in the spider.

 

I spotted that Countach again at whole foods. It looks like its about to take off with that rear wing!! I waited for the owner to fire it up and trailed him on peachtree for a bit to hear that glorious V12. Unfortunately I didnt have my camera on me so I couldnt capture stills or better yet HD video of it. Here is what I got on my camera phone.

1.Blue Lamborghini Murcielago-Pharr Rd.
2.Black Lamborghini LP560-4 roadster-Chops

The Scud was heard several blocks away before she came into view. It gave me time to get my camera out!
