Atlanta Spotters Thread

Great spot on the SLR! I don't care what anyone says, that is a great looking car. I even like those wheels!

 

Unlikely. Who would put miles on a car like that?

We both went through pretty late. I didn't get up there until past 8, and Andrew spotted the SLR at 9:15. Sometimes they come early, sometimes they come late. It's inexplicable. That's what makes it fun, though.

 

FOA is having an event at the Ritz Buckhead tomorrow night, I believe. I got an e-vite, but I'm not sure what the event is for. Might be some good spotting, depending on the weather.

 

Thanks for the heads up.

 

I think the turnout tonight will be rather light with the weather the way it is.

 

A few cars came out tonight, more than I expected with the weather being the way it was.

-Gallardo Superleggera at the W
-All the cars at the Ritz Buckhead, a 360, 599 HGTE, California, 430 Scuderia and a regular 430
-430 at New York Prime

Most of the cars from the Ritz moved to the new Havana club on Piedmont which also made for some good pictures

Thanks to Thorpiticus for the heads up about this event, I probably wouldn't have even gone to Buckhead tonight because of the weather. Also thanks to FoA for bringing these events to this part of town.

I saw this car tonight.........in the exact same spot. Has it moved since then?

I saw all the cars you listed tonight plus a couple of duplicates. Unfortunately, no camera on me. Maybe I should keep it in my car the whole time.

 

Yes and no. It moves, but it always seems to wind up in the same place. Pre-Super Bowl spots today:
- white Bentley Arnage at Phipps Plaza. Shocker to see this car out during the day!
- silver Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder on Virginia temporary plates at Peachtree and Lenox.
- black Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph at the Ritz-Carlton Buckhead.

With Doug and Andrew capturing the Ferrari's parked, I wanted to get the chance to hear them on the road enroute to the Havanna Club. the only car I missed hearing was the California. My shots of the black 550 (at Fados) and the Superleggera (at W) were not as clear due to the rain. The 599 HGTE is always impressive rain or shine.

Not a bad turnout. The HGTE pack really makes a subtle, but impressive difference. As always, thanks for the pictures!

 

Saw the most beautiful 997 yesterday on Barrett parkway. pearl white, black techart formula wheels and lowered suspension. Sounded like it had strait pipes. It was a beautiful combo. BTW, if anyone on here has a facebook, you're more than welcome to become a fan of my page Sir Robbins. Thanks! Goin to Buckhead alot this week so hopefully I can get some pics.

 

That Porsche is owned by the owner of Cobb County Tractor. It has 700hp, that's why it sounds like it has straight pipes. It is the best looking Porsche I've ever seen.

 

You gonna use your own pics or just steal them from people all over this forum like before?

 

I've never used anyone's pics before on here. I don't know where you got that information from but you were mislead.

 

It really is nice but it looked like a factory 997 body. Is it the same one? It didn't have techart logos on it but the wheels. It was nice though. Beautiful sound.

 

Oh really?

Here are the links to the original posts by the original posters and photos of screenshots from your facebook page including a status update where you claimed to have seen Usher driving in Buckhead...thanks for taking them down. Also, nice job of removing Doug's name from his picture only to put your own in it's place (not really)

Haha - very professional. The wonders of MS Paint.

Jesus, I saw a Maserati MC12 and he steals that one?!

 

That's my brother's profile FOR THE LAST TIME. I only have a fan page, not an actual profile.

 

See what I mean by "stealing other people's pictures"? Seems like you're an okay kid, same hobby as these guys. I can even understand why someone would steal these pictures and claim them to be their own...but you made a mistake. You got caught. You got called out by the photo taker himself weeks ago...YOU MADE A MISTAKE. Man up and take responsibility for your actions. If you think you're ever going to get anywhere in life by blaming other people for your actions, then I hope you love bagging groceries because you're never going to get anywhere in life with a loser's attitude.

It's the exact same page on facebook with the user name "SirRobbins". It's not your brother. It's you.

MAN UP.
