Cobalt Blue Turbo Story

Comet · 01-23-2008, 08:53 AM

gorgeous
my favorite Turbo to date
but u should have kept the Turbo rims
in my opinion they are way hotter... (not to take away from ur current rims.. nice.. but don't do the Turbo justice.. a Carrera, yes... a Turbo, never)

but hey, it's your car/choice

atomic80 · 01-23-2008, 09:31 AM

Ok, buddy, I don't know what you're smoking but YOU didn't take these pictures and that's not YOUR car. You've just been p0wned! These are my pictures and that's my car. Stop taking credit buddy. You stole these pictures from my site and put your watermark on them.

Want proof? Here I am with my car at delivery:

More proof? Here I am with a friend and his RUF BTR2.

Get a life buddy and take those pictures down or stop saying that they're yours.

Last picture thread from me for tonight, I promise. Just got a little bit "flickr" happy. Heh.

Going down the coast towards San Diego.

New wheels mounted and balanced!

Wheels close up.

Night time glory.

Inside a parking lot in Irvine. Some kids came up to talk to me after I took this shot.

Interior shot.

Gauges close up shot.

Any comments appreciated!! Thanks for viewing!

Yeah, right...you took these pictures. Here are details of the pictures THAT I took.

1) Pebble Beach, CA on my breaking in trip.

2) Taken in the service bay at Barrier Motors in Bellevue, WA after the wheels were installed.

3) Taken after black lugnuts were installed

4) Taken behind Krispy Kreme in Seattle, WA

5) Taken in the underground parking garage of Lincoln Square in Bellevue, WA.

6) Taken inside my garage.

7) I hit 996 then 997 miles just as I got to the photoshoot site with Itzkirb (from 6speedonline) in the Bay area.

Oh BTW, I'll bet that 2008 M5 isn't yours either.

canucklion · 01-23-2008, 09:50 AM

wow, The Metro, if what atomic80 posted is true, then you're very pathetic. What joy do you get out of posting pictures of other people's car and claiming it's yours? Hell, I don't even post pictures of my own car on here (except for my signature pic).

atomic80 · 01-23-2008, 09:54 AM

Did you guys notice that he didn't post any pictures of the rear showing the license plate.

I found this in his gallery.

Want to see the same picture with the license plate?

Yep, that's mine...

inabis · 01-23-2008, 09:54 AM

canucklion · 01-23-2008, 09:55 AM

that's proof enough, atomic. YOUR car is sweet.

So, I'm guessing he doesn't have the 2008 M5, and he's not going to get the Alpina B7 like he said he would.

atomic80 · 01-23-2008, 10:01 AM

Thanks man...I love my Turbo and apparently so does The Metro.

And I seriously doubt that he's going to get that B7. I saw one of those things in Europe last spring and they're freaking sweet up close!

TheAcAvenger · 01-23-2008, 10:07 AM

Beautiful car atomic. Just completely amazing.

canucklion · 01-23-2008, 10:19 AM

Just curious, how did you stumple upon this thread?

Also, a question, that steering wheel looks pretty awesome, that's standard in the Turbo? or optional equipment?

A fellow 6speeder let me know about this thread. His friend found this and let him know. I wonder how many other guys out there are out there using my pictures. I need to start taking down all my pictures and putting my watermark on them.

That steering wheel is from Techart and is one of my favorite aftermarket items in my 997.

Look how thick the sides are

EmPower · 01-23-2008, 10:22 AM

arent you the same dude thats out to buy an Alpina? and have a range rover too?... you got a job for me ??

The funny thing is that I own a Range Rover too.

canucklion · 01-23-2008, 10:25 AM

a reliable source told me that he has an unicorn as well. And he's also got the Loch Ness monster in the backyard pool of his gigantic 100,000 sq ft mansion.

car is amazing! I hate to say it, but I prefer the factory wheels. Such a beautiful car either way though.

canucklion · 01-23-2008, 10:26 AM

yeah, definitely watermark your pictures from now on, and put the watermark across the pic or make it part of the car so that there's no way to edit out the watermark without ruining the picture

I never really liked the factory wheels. Looks too much like the older Eclipse wheels. Doesn't fit the lines of the Turbo too well. But you're right, everyone has their own opinions.

Good detective work Ilia

Loving the 997 Turbo atomic80. So clean with the GT3 wheels

phantom330 · 01-23-2008, 10:39 AM

this is seriously a great post......some loser claiming it's his car and then the real owner completely clowning him. I love it. I would imagine we won't be seeing "metro" again, at least under that username.

I can confidently confirm 2, 4 and 5.

As of 10:41am EST, he is PMing someone on the board. Maybe asking atomic for forgiveness?
