I know, sometimes i confuse myself, but i only support this kind of thing because i LOVE seeing nice cars at dealerships and I consider them spots in my own right, but usually don't post them here because of the ridicule i would recieve.

It's not confusing its just reading the rules

Not True Spottings:

Photos at or near an Exotic Car Dealership

Because it was from a dealer in illinois and owned by someone in minnesota. It was brand new.

The rules are pretty clear if you read them, so I will post them again.

Not True Spottings:

"Photos at or near an Exotic Car Dealership"

I could go to one of the numerous high end dealers within 10 minutes drive and take similar images, but that would be against the rules and what's the point dealers car parks, service centres etc are not true spots, and not allowed so why bother asking?

If you see dealers images I suggest you report them.

I guess your right, i was just so exited that there is an f12 in Minnesota.

There was a 599 Alonso Edition parked on the over spill for my local dealer, it was tempting to post, but know it was dealer stock so.....nope. But I would not listen to people saying what is legal or not just follow the rules, as they are not admins, and often the advice they give is the opposite to the rules.

Some spots on here really don't follow the guidelines, like the ones taken outside the same hotels, and shops, or parking lots of car shows. I know where loads of exotics are parked up but they are not random spots so I wont post, as they are known locations.

True Spottings:

Photo must be taken on public roads, highways, or parking spots, and
Photographer must have no prior knowledge that the vehicle would be in that location. Anyway here are the full rules if you have not read them.

Not True Spottings:

Photos from Car Shows (including parking lot of car shows)
Photos from Car Club Meetings
Photos from the start or end of a Car Rally (Gumball 3000)
Photos at or near an Exotic Car Dealership
Photos taken in private garage or shop
Photos of friend's or neighbor's cars
Photos from a photo shoot
Photos taken in known locations where exotics are always parked (certain hotels, in front of certain stores, etc)

NOTE: If a photo looks suspicious, you need to provide a detailed description of how you spotted the car. If you provide no details, the photo will not qualify as a true spotting.

The Following May Qualify as True Spottings:
Spotting an exotic car while it's taking part in a Rally, (if you didn't know about the Rally)
Spotting an exotic car on the streets near a car show (not directly outside the show)

Wait a minute. A picture of a Ferrari at a Porsche dealership? I have seen a photo of the car in Twitter posted by one of the car accounts there. Do you post pics there??
