Atlanta Spotters Thread

Hey Carson. I can't seem to get Lance to get rims for the R8. Sorry. He had his 21st birthday on the 9th. He doesn't seem interested.

 

what's with that warning message on the display inside the tach? was the car on a diagnostic machine or dyno?

anyway, cool car. never seen one in that color combo before.

 

Or really? Looks like 3 days ago to me....

They were bringing back the point. Exotic spotter mentioned posting pics on here that aren't mine and i said I don't do that. ZonderF misread and pulled up facebook pics from months ago when Doug had contacted me. We resolved it long ago but exotic spotter had to bring it back up again, idk y? when exotic spotter stated in his comment, he talked about using them on here which I never did.

 

Sir Robbins, DrStranglove, ExoticSpotter, Doug, and all the rest of you: I want this nonsense to STOP immediately! I don't want to see anyone accuse anyone else of anything in this thread again, whether it's warranted or not. This nonsense has already gone on too long! Let's just get back to spotting and leave the personal accusations in PMs, if at all.

 

An odd bit to add, but yes sir, rob... er... jim.

 

I agree. Lets stop and put this in the past. When it comes down to it.......they're just some bloody pictures. Let's get it over it.


Anyway, as for the SLR, my buddy saw it at the 400 toll stop and toke some pictures. Let me see if I can get it from him.

 

Actually, yea... what did that light mean and with that low milage, why not take it to the dealer? (Cool car though!)

 

Nothing against you Jim, but what was said needed to be said. Did it go to far? For some, apparently so. For others, it is obviously still unresolved. That in mind, I apologize to any member not involved who was offended by my openness and directness, and I will not make another public post about the situation at hand.

 

Don't drag me into this!! Except for a few sentences here and there I've kept everything to PM. In fact, when ZonderF discovered the photos months ago, the issue was originally settled completely privately, but has clearly come back up again. He removed the photo and apologized; all is and was good on my end.

However, sometimes things need to be said in public, and for that we have DrStranglove.

 

Like Doug stated, we ended this long ago but you all keep bringing it back everytime I try to change back to spotting. It's over, been settled, ect. Back to spotting. I haven't seen anything recently being iced in. Cheers.

Sir Robbins

 

I spotted you on my sig....

 

haha that's fine. I deserve it none the less. Have a nice Valentine's day DrStrangelove!

 

We have to put it into Dyno mode to perform the high-speed on car wheel balance. turning off the ESP doesn't 100% kill the traction control, The car was wrecked friday night after he left our shop. I got the txt from him saturday morning.

bummer

 

Sad to hear, hope no one was injured

 

Must've slid into a curb or something since there is no body damage. It's not at your shop now, is it? -kevin

 

No, it's not at my shop. A curb is what I'm thinking. I didn't ask what happened, just got a txt saying it got wrecked.

 

Sounds like he got what he deserved for taking such a nice and expensive car out on the day that it snows 3+ inches in the Atlanta area.

 

Carson, does Akon own this car? Looks like it was spotted in Florida, saw it on someone's Flickr page and immediately recognized it:

It is indeed Akon's. Here is some close up pics of the damage

well it's a beautiful car and the rims complemented it perfectly. Too bad!

 

Ouch, cracked discs too.

 

I was just looking through the pages and saw that you guys had a "spotter's get together" a while back. Why not do that again? I understand that some of you guys are busier than you used to be, but it sounds like a fun idea. Of course, it would definately not be anytime soon, with the weather. But getting together to eat, then doing the obligatory spotting sounds like a great time! Just throwing it out there... -kevin

 

Yeah, we ought to do it again. ZonderF and I had dinner just about a week ago, but something organized and with more of us would be nice. Who'd be in?
