You see I don't get it. He tells a different story, that the owner obliged for them to take photos. All I know is that I'm glad the drama seems to be over. No more idiotic stories about this situation anymore.

@ethan - See, what had happen was, rtpintomedia decided to follow an MC12 owner after a car show to get extra pictures. There are claims the owner hates attention and intentionally took a different route to avoid being followed but clearly it failed. Well when he got to his house rt and thekartographer decided to take pictures of it entering the owner's driveway. According to several other IG accounts the owner discussed how he was not okay with this. So when rt posted it basically a flame session started and it last 400 comments before he deleted it. Thekartographer just turned off comments and still has two images of the mc12 in the driveway.

My gosh I didn't know that situation was that bad. That's just utterly classless and a complete invasion of privacy. I mean, if you really really want shots of that thing, just keep on spotting public roads until you finally find it- I guarantee you'll see a lot of other cars too, seeing it's in L.A. If the whole thing about the photoshoot being approved by the driver is true, then I suppose it's not that bad. But if the owner didn't give permission, then wow...

I have a 675LT Spider near me that I've only seen once but I really want photos of it. It's the first 675LT Spider I've ever spotted (and the only one lol) and it's a very rare car for my spotting area. Now, the one time I did see it, I didn't stalk the owner back to his house or even his neighborhood. Didn't follow at all. I just happened to see it and thought, "Oh well, I'll get it someday." Apparently some people who spot/live in supercar hotspots can't even get that thought in their head. Just sad.

There's a guy who is known as the "White Collection" guy down here and he just bought a LaF Aperta. All his cars are white, every time something new comes out he seems to buy it (Continental GT3-R, GT3RS, Speciale A, 991R, RS7, 918, LaFerrari, etc). He now parks his cars in an undisclosed parking garage but he used to park them all in his driveway. I knew exactly where he lived because his house is on the way to a store in the area I like to go to and his cars are just out in the open lol. One time his 991 GT3 RS was parked in front of his driveway when they were brand new. But I would never try to go up to his property and take pictures lol, that never even crossed my mind. I just thought "I hope I can spot him around town somewhere" and I did at the mall months later with his LaFerrari.

Ha, this reminds me of last year when I noticed that a guy in my neighborhood (that I had never even seen before, also never seen a car in his driveway...) drove a Bentley Continental Le Mans Edition. I saw him driving down the street when I was on my bike. After asking him if I could take a picture of his car with my phone, he told me I could follow his car because he had an Audi S8 in his driveway and he said I could take pictures of both cars. Honestly I didn't really think I was being stalker-ish at all because the guy did invite me to take pictures while he had a conversation with me about the cars.

Well of course it's not wrong at all if they invite you. People who take pictures of people's property without permission is the issue though. Legally though, unless you're in a gated neighborhood I would think, it's fine because the street is public property but morally it's of course wrong. But if they invite you that's not stalkerish at all.

Well, he was lying in my eyes now. Look at the BS he's spouting on Autogespot: https://www.autogespot.com/spots/united-states-of-america

One of his info sections ""GOT A PROBLEM?" Yes b*tch I do. Y'all itchin to scrap somethin' FIERCE." ""1 REAR 1 FRONT IN BEVERLY HILLS?" ACTUALLY that would be TWO front, in case y'all didn't go to school and learn how to count. It also doesn't matter if its Beverly Hills or the motherfuckin South Side, THERE ARE AT LEAST 3 PHOTOS."

Like please, ban him. NOW. AG is like drama free, it should stay that way.

As much as the spotting around there is insane, I'm so glad I don't have to share a car scene with people like him because they are the reason I don't like being called a car spotter. I am so glad I got to see that black MC12 last October, because until/unless it changes hands, I don't think anyone will ever see it again. Following an owner to his house, LYING about saying he obliged especially when Adam Bornstein and Gordon Cheng (@effspot) specifically said the owner didn't like it, and posting pictures shamelessly on a site where most people are too oblivious to care (I am referring to AG, not ES here) is appalling to me. I know he's on this site and if he has posted them here I will be reporting them because they are shots he and his other friend who's a member here shouldn't have gotten because the way they got them was just flat-out invasive and wrong.

Was telling someone the funny story about the orange Huracan I pretty much missed two Saturdays ago and he goes "it's only a Huracan."

Well gee, it's not like I've only actually spotted one on the road before without a car show nearby. Forgive me for finding a car I deem rare that interesting...

Yeah, always get a little annoyed when something like that happens. From my place, a 1.5 hour drive will get you to the Fort Lauderdale/Miami area where Huracáns are nearly commonplace. Yet, I still love seeing them! There's so much variety in specs you almost have to pay attention to them.

True. It helps that the one I missed was the best specc'd Huracan in town. Loaded in metallic orange with orange calipers, orange vanity plate, black wheels, etc. Even the owner was wearing orange xD. Hopefully I'll see it again. I can relate a little bit, I see Corvette Stingrays everywhere but I still notice them and all of the different specs.

So thekartographer deleted his account on AG once again, what happened to him this time? I'm just curious about it, so forgive me of reviving this.

They probably kept deleting his spots again.

I remembered that guy uploaded like 50+ Continental GT spots on AG in a day, he also flooded ES with loads of "common" exotic spots in California a couple of months ago.
