ohio spotters thread!!!

You didn't buy it?

 

There will be some excellent car spotting to do in Hilliard on Saturday...

 

Not yet! Sending for PPI on Friday. What, you thought I'd write a check after just a test drive?!!??

Hopefully, the seller and I can come to an agreement on price and "remediation" work - those are the key holdups at this point, pre-PPI.

 

Ferrari 360 Spider at Bel Lago
Audi RS5 at New Albany Country Club
Fisker Karma on Market St

 

Best of luck, Raj!

Thank you Grant. I'm in nervous / excited anticipation for the PPI the day after tomorrow - I'll get to be in the bay with the mechanic.

After that, we'll make the go/no-go decision and start sharpening the pencils.

I'll keep you guys in the loop! Thanks for pulling for me!

 

Just always remember to keep a clear head and "take a step back" if needed!

Not an exotic, but a first for me:

Pre-production 2014 Cadillac ELR on I-90 headed west toward Toledo/Detroit. Camo'd up with black cladding and all. Wish I had my camera on me...

 

Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead at New Albany Medical Center

 

Spotted FChat member Rick L in his Ferrari FF on Central Ave around 2:15PM today. Looked great!

 

Oh, while I was at MAG in Dublin on Monday, I saw an owner's matte black Lambo Aventador in the service drive. It was so hot - kinda scary too. I felt like taking pictures under those circumstances would have been kinda lame, so I didn't photograph any of the other lambos, maser's, or Ferraris (Californias, F430s, 360s, TR, FF) while I was there. Saw a boat load of new Aston's in the showroom. Also plenty of new Bentley Conti's and a Ghost.

I can't believe there are that many more great cars in Columbus than in Cleveland.... but I don't have the time I did last year for spotting to prove it, oh well...

Did see two firsts for me yesterday on 271 heading N between 8 and 480W. Fiat 500 Abarth and Tesla Model S (blue, there's a blue one on the east side of Cleveland I hope?) No pics sadly. Grey Caterham 7 on SOM I'll have to see if I got a pic. White S63 at Eton I'll have a pic up on Flickr a little while later.

 

Interesting first spot for me today.

Downtown Centerville, white Tesla Model S.

Had to do a double take, like "is that what I think it is."

It had to be new - no permanent tags, and it was very, VERY white in color!

 

Nice!! Haven't seen a Model S in white yet. I actually saw one last night near my place (not white), had the appropriate plate "LOL OIL"...lol

Also, a spot from a friend:
white Lamborghini Aventador on Route 2 near Willoughby this evening

 

a friend saw a yellow Diablo VT at Turkey Hill in New Albany

 

Tesla Model S at Maxtown Rd/State Rt 3

 

spotted my first RS5 today, on Lorain in North Olmstead.
