What does it matter if th etag is posted, tag information is not public information so numbers are useless to people.

:offtopic: I read a thread on HT which was talking about why people blur plates. A guy on there was able to retrieve name and address by using the plate info. I'm not sure what systems he used but he pulled someone's info who was calling BS :ninja:

It's obvious out there since the pic is not chopped. None of us own it so who really gives a $hit who it belongs to :taun:

I don't get the whole blocking-tags-in-pictures thing.

I don't cover my tag when I park my car...

Well, thats H-T for you :rolleyes:

I seriously doubt the tools that steal Honda's are going to steal a R8. LOL for the comparison between Honda and Audi.

Besides, something tells me that if MINI can make thier cars vitrtually unstealable, so can AUDI.

Was it a Michigan tag? I saw a while ago down at SpecialityTransport with Michigan tags. I also saw a few at work, Audi is sold through the next three years. They never even hit the showroom floor, just PDI clean and sold. I will try and head down to Audi the next time there is one there and take some close up shots.

Could be, I have sat in a white one before it was sold. There is a Veyron in ATL somewhere I am pretty sure there are some of these. Like I said our Audi delership has pre sold their stock for the next three years and they have delivered a few, including a white one.

Go drive up and down I-75 and you might get lucky and stop being a skeptic.

You guys are completely ragging on Ketchup aka Chameleon aka zap yo dumb ass aka.... ok I'll stop

No but that picture might be pretty authentic. I live off roswell road about 3 miles down the street from the Audi dealership off highway 9/Alpharetta highway.

I've seen the exact same car on display towards the front of the building for a while now. Dont know if thats the exact one I've seen on and off but Its there/here in Atlanta.

Considering I saw a 599 GTB Fiorano today near Roswell, I'd be hesitant to call bs on something not as impressive, like an Audi.

For those that don't know what it looks like...

I missed seeing that car at the Georgia Tech Auto Show...

I wonder if they have any at that Ferrari dealership. Maybe the one you saw came from there...it's out in Roswell I think.

I saw one in a Ferrari Showroom a few weeks ago. It is one of the best looking cars I have ever seen.

Unfortunately, they dont have the Fiorano there. I go there from time to time just to walk around and talk to the guys. They're pretty cool,(maybe its because they make so much damn commission off one sale) and knowledgeable. Living in Sandy Springs I get to see a bunch of exotics. GT2's, Murcielagos, haven't seen a Scaglietti yet but I see a couple F430's and DB9's. I usually get the hell out of the way if they're coming up on my rear.

A murcielago pulled up next to me at a traffic light and revved at me. I asked him with the utmost sincerity whether he was right of mind :screwy:.

Maybe so. The one I saw was black with tan leather.

I can't stand the way Scags look...but for some reason, I love the Fiorano. The styling REALLY grew on me. Maybe because I feel that that's the way the Scaglietti should have looked.

And yes, I just looked it up...I was referring to Ferrari of Atlanta. They've got Maserati and Aston Martin down there too. They actually are pretty cool down there.

I saw a Quattroporte yesterday along with a Bentley GT and a baby blue Gallardo. These guys need to share the wealth. :D

Ooooh baby blue Gallardo...mmm I'd love one of those.

I don't like the Bentley Continental GT...though I think the convertible looks good.

Hah, I'd rather have a Bentley Brooklands...10000% baller-mobile.
