Atlanta Spotters Thread

I don't remember. Most likely yes.

 

-Purple Lamborghini Murcielago at Fellinis
Was leaving Fellinis when we approached and followed him for a bit after. He got on it pretty good and can that glorious V12 sing!! Heard him from what seemed like a mile away. Either that or maybe that V12 was still ringing in my ears.

Nice shots recently from everyone! My own Sunday sightings:
- black Aston-Martin V8 Vantage Roadster on Lenox and Peachtree.
- silver Audi R8 on Florida plates in valet at the Mansion.
- red Ferrari 360 Modena at the Ritz-Carlton Buckhead.
- dark gray Ferrari 599 GTB on wildlife (eagle) plates driving by Chastain Park.
- red Ferrari F430 Spider on vanity plate BIZCHR1 at Lenox and Peachtree.
- gray Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 at Phipps Plaza valet.
- black Porsche 911 GT3 [997 II] with weird green-yellow headlights parked at Chastain Park.

Perhaps the rarest car of all on Sunday was an awesome light blue Citroen DS on historic plates at Phipps Plaza. A rare and neat sighting for sure!

Hi Jim, I had to read the insignia to know what kind of car it was. The cool thing about finding cars that I have no idea what they are is I enjoy researching them on the internet. Your photos from Caffeine and Octane allow me to learn more than just Ferrari and Lamborghini. Thanks as always. I will attempt to throw out older cars that catch my eye, here are two that I shot today. West

I have a some questions for which that the spotters probably have the best insight...

I live in a neighborhood near where many of the cars photographed driving up and down the street are spotted. I see them when I drive out of the neighborhood. I seem to see the same cars over and over. I can hardly drive one minute from the house before seeing the same purple Lambo I have seen about a dozen times. Where are these cars going? I guess I am a little out of touch. They can't be just parading up and down the street - right? There must be a destination. What is it?

Although they are great cars, with a few exceptions I do not see them at "car guy" deals like Caffeine and Octane etc. Are these cars owned by "car guys"? What is the motivation?

Car guys who love their cars?
Want people to see how big a check they can write?
Pick up chicks?

Have you ever flagged down the Purple Lambo (or any of the cars that have appeared on this thread more than five times) and talked to the owners? If so what did you learn?

Thanks.

Jack

 

I didn't talk to the owner but I spoke with someone who is pretty close with the guy who drives the Blue Murcielago that we see allll the time. When I asked him why he drove it every day, he said that the car needed to be cranked and run for a little while every day so he just decided to drive it to either Lenox or Phipps and park it for the day. Most of the time when we see these cars driving, they end up somewhere in the area, most likely a restaurant or one of the malls, but occasionally they will just be out for a drive and just going in circles enjoying their cars.

 

Just curious, today I saw a black Ferrari, didn't catch the model, with "stuntin" on the license plate. Anyone know who's ride this? It was a female driver.

 

Are you sure it wasn't "FRONTIN"?

 

Saw a silverstone Ferrari F430 Spider with a black top & yellow calipers (again, no idea where I am, exactly) it was waiting in traffic Exit 21 on I-285 (around Smyrna)

 

I'm pretty sure it was 'stuntin', that's one thing that caught my attention because I have seen the F430 before with 'frontin' and did a double take when that wasn't it.

 

hey I'm down here visiting again and noticed that the Motorcars of Georgia website shows a 2008 koenigsegg ccx in the inventory!!? Sorry if this has already been brought up, but it really woke me up when i saw that they have one!

 

It's on consignment from Koenigsegg in Sweden, the car isn't actually here.
