Import Atlanta - a face in the crowd

[SabRhund]

Just one - a BMW at Import Atlanta's Varsity meet. I don't usually like BMWs, but made quite an exception for this beautiful specimen.

This is really off topic, but I think this car's owner tried to race me back in 2002-2003 in ATL. Only one in the group spoke English and I remember it had some sort of fog lamps like that. Back then I had a 12 second VW and I never did race the rotary because it started raining. On a shakedown pass, that car did pull the front tires off the ground quite a few inches.

On topic, I think they drastically need a white balance correction.

i used to take pics every month, but the novelty has worn off :P

anyhow, as soon as someone mentioned cars getting booted, i bolted and left :)
my buddy in his STi however, wasnt as lucky

Aww, poor STi. I don't think anyone got booted last night - at least not while we were around.

how long were you guys there? the back lot past the busses are owned by a valet company and not by the varsity, which is why they have the freedom to boot cars

did you roll up with the athens crowd from UGA?

I'm assuming that where we were is the back lot - the Varsity had the upper deck blocked off.

We didn't roll up with the UGA crowd, because we were just going as spectators, not as in "look at my carrr!", although the car we were in was much nicer than some of what we saw. Figures.

I know about the white balance. I broke out my XTi manual when I got home and taught myself custom WB :)

That car is a stock old Corolla. There are others around, the owner speakers good english and so do most of his friends(since I am one of them. hehe

^ How did we go from photographing cars to trying to drag race. lol If you really want to race then take it to a track.


I used to do the Varsity thing back in the day but lost interest in it. Especially when they started booting cars. Nice photos from those that shot.

[dinanm3atl]

Come next time :)

Just for fun anyways!

[GA_Teg]

^ I might. Of course if I do come out I will end up bringing the camera. lol

[dinanm3atl]

Yes, I plan to go again just to snap pictures.

[aridan]

Nice shots, but your WB is way off (except for the subi pic).

Take it to the track - I'm up there a good bit taking pictures. Lots of awesome cars, and lots of not so awesome ones, but it's always a good time.

Yes, come along!

You come too!

I have no idea how they shifted topics so quickly, but yea, the Varsity meet was a lot of fun, especially getting to meet another POTNer. Booting cars is not cool, but there didn't seem to be any trouble while we were there.

I know my white balance was off in some ;)

Gonna go back here next week I guess it is.
