Car spotting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other uses, see Car spotting (disambiguation).

A Car spotter is a person who is typically strongly interested, in an amateur capacity, in car spotting, i.e., observing or photographing interesting, vintage, rare, modified and exotic cars on public roads. [1] Car spotters can be found worldwide.

A car spotter may also log about his or her "spots" on an internet forum, such as ExoticSpotter.com[2] or streetfire.net,[3] says a 2006 Los Angeles Times article.[1]

A car spotter Spyder Dobrofsky and his hobby had been brought into a focus of CNN in relation of Swedish businessman Bo Stefan Eriksson's crash of his Ferrari Enzo.[1]
