Found this Vantage Roadster parked at the Park Road Shopping Center a couple stores up from work as I was leaving about a week and a half ago. Unfortunately I did not have my DSLR with me, so these pics will have to do. This has really become a decent place to spot in the past couple years.

@NCspotter. Hi Nick. I hope all is well on your end brother? I did do some spotting yesterday. The weather here in Atlanta was just perfect. Around 70 degrees with plenty of sun. I only caught one car on camera but it was a big one for me. One of my bucket list cars for 2018. Anyways I always enjoy seeing your work no matter if you use a camera phone, DSLR, or a point, and shoot. I hope that the cars continue coming out for you buddy!

@Horse-Power wow! Can't wait to see it! Must be epic if it's on your bucket list! It's been really nice here in Raleigh over the past couple days, but I haven't seen much (just some Bentleys and Maseratis). I will be in Charlotte again this week though, and the weather looks like it will be decent, so hopefully I'll have a chance to do a little spotting throughout the week. Anyway, I'll be anxiously waiting to see your next post and will talk with you later!

@NCspotter. Hi Nick. The spot is not an outrageous one, but she is a new model to the area. As a spotter I was super excited to spot this car but walked away not being impressed with the overall design enhancements. Anyways buddy I will be posting that spot tonight so have a great week and I will talk with you soon.

@Horse-Power I had a suspicion it might be an 812! Awesome spot! I do kind of agree about the design though; it looks 'exotic', but I don't find it terribly attractive. I feel the same about the new Ford GT and LaFerrari as well, although I have not had a chance to see any of those in person so I guess I should reserve final judgement until that day comes. For some reason the 812 reminds me a bit of a Viper with different tail lights. Anyway great find, and I'll talk with you later. I'll be in Charlotte this week but hope to get a chance to log on at least a couple times, so I'll be looking for anything else you post.

@NCspotter. Hi Nick. Believe it or not the Viper has a F12 chassis so they are most definitely related. Today I learned from an official at Road Atlanta that the Corse Clienti test days will be open to the public for 20 bucks per person so I am really excited about that news. Next month Xtreme Xperince makes their annual 1st trip to Atlanta so I will need to make up my mind on what car to drive with them. They did get a new 488, as well as a Huracan so I may just do the Lambo and keep the 488 for another track. I do want to give the Ferrari yet another go, especially on a track that power is not a factor. I do hope that you do the pace car in Charlotte this month like I said it's well worth the 50 bucks. Just to see the cars for free is a must do as well. I did see that you posted up a GTR so as soon as I finish up here I will go check it out. Anyways brother I will talk with you soon.

@Horse-Power I'm sure this is probably an unpopular opinion, but given the choice between an F12 and a Viper, I would probably actually take the Viper. I think it will end up as the last pure drivers car given its RWD platform, naturally-aspirated engine, and manual transmission. I guess that if the Viper really was as good of a car as the F12 though, it would still be on sale. I'm not sure if I'll be here in Charlotte that weekend, but if I am I'll definitely check it out, and I can't wait to hear what your impressions are on whatever you choose to drive! Today was grey and rainy all day, but I did still see a California, DB9, and an i8. I missed the first two but did snap some pics of the BMW, so I'll definitely post them on here at some point. Anyway, thanks as always for your comments, and have a great week. I will be in the mountains tomorrow with my mom, brother, and a friend of ours, as one of the slopes managed to beat out the warm snap, so we want to get one skiing/snowboarding trip in before the temps warm up for good, but I will have a few more spotting opportunities here in Charlotte throughout the rest of the week.

@Horse-Power thanks for the well-wishes, we had a great time. I did finally get a chance to drive around briefly on Saturday and managed to catch an SLS AMG, which was the first one I had seen in over two years. It was actually at the same plaza that this was parked at. I will be heading back down to Charlotte again mid-week, but I'll definitely try to post something before I leave.
