    The 10th picture down is the f430 I have been seeing lately. Today was the third day in a row it passed our dealership.

    Was sitting at a stoplight while delivering a car and this drove by. I also finally saw the red 360cs yesterday around the buckhead area.

    I just passed a pair Bugatti Veyrons on Johnson Ferry in Sandy Springs. I literally stopped in my lane to look at them. They had some corporate wrap / livery - name escapes me. But holy crap.

    And cheers to the kid in the SUV behind them who yelled "they win" when he saw my Maserati GT. Under any other circumstances, I would think that was a ***** thing to say, but hey, I was thinking it too.

    Was it the replicas running around town or the real deal?

    Josh, nice spot of the CGT.

    Here are some recent pics. Honorable mentions include a Lexus LFA, a very rare Audi R8 GT, Mclaren MP4-12C, and a 360 Stradale to name just a few.

    Because they were wrapped, it's hard to tell but mostly red on the first one and mostly black on the second one. I was so fixated on the first one that I didn't even realize there was one right behind it until my daughter said 'there's two!'. I think if I troll some other forums like l4p, I'll figure this out.

    I initially thought they were Gold Rush Rally cars but the logos were different. I just wish I could remember the brands...it looked like a promotional effort.

    Did the red one have a logo with the letters YMCMB?

    I saw this white 599 GTO on Peachtree Street yesterday, but it has two apparent errors on it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/59051853@N08/7432987914/in/photostream
    As Horse-Power pointed out on another forum," it's missing the rear side signals plus the rear vent is facing the wrong direction..Yours may be a European version, most of them don't have those signals". The attention to detail on this car is otherwise perfect, thus a kit or tuning is almost out of the question. Does anyone know what is going on with this car?

    I recently met and talked to the owner of the LFA. He's a truly awesome guy and a very passionate car enthusiast. Awesome spot :)

    Anybody know what happened to the Rolls Royce dealer on Piedmont? Drove past earlier and the showroom was empty and all the signs were gone.

    I had a nice surprise while shopping at Phipps Plaza. FoA had an FF on display. Here are my photos from last Saturday evening.

    I was westbound on I-285 this morning when I was passed by a black Gallardo with an S.C. plate. By the time I remembered that I had my "small" Canon in the console (I was coming home from C&O), he was well ahead and out of range.

    But we both turned onto I-75 northbound, and either he slowed up a bit or I sped up (when the speed limit rose to 65). When we both wound up in the left lane due to traffic, I pulled the camera out and did a couple of grab shots. They're not great, but when you're trying to drive a Ferrari at 70+ mph, it's hard to take photos without stuffing the car into the barrier! (Notice how much crud is on the shoulder!)

    But I made sure I had control of the car before using the camera. He was still visible heading northbound when I took exit 265.

    Thanks Jason, it's a labor of love, LOL.

    Jim, nice catch and pic of the Gallardo. I think it's safe to say that we can sign you up as a spotter anytime you want :)


    Time to download some shots from Saturday. The first two pics below is a super rare Ferrari 599 Alonso Edition at FoA.
