A bit creepy IMO.

Another time I had a note left on my windscreen asking "Is that you Mike?" with their contact details.

So hence my random choices of locations, at least it might put any new lurkers off.

EDIT: Sorry for the thread jack, back on topic!
Wow that is creepy, I had something similar on another forum. The guy ran my cars plates ,got my contact details and other important info because I was ignoring his "PM's" lol.

I dont blame you my friend, sorry to hear about this.

DItto. If you would both be so kind as to post up your initial driving impression vs. expectations, overall fit and finish (although I am sure it would be PHENOMENAL and out-of-this-world godly) and its handling and performance characteristics compared to all of your other toys.
Both you and Mike have such great taste and epxerience behind the wheel and have always been nice enough to share your joy with us. All in all, you both rock! and inspire me to keep the trend alive for being a nice, down-to-earth guy who likes to drive and enjoy my car(s).

-I know what you mean with people randomly approaching you when you are with your family, significant other, etc. and asking about your car you're driving and how the other one's in the stable are running, asking "any new additions besides 'x,y,z'", then expecting to have you sit down and chat for a few minutes or more concerning your car and their performance mods to their car around back they have planned or have done recently and want you to check out. Blah blah blah

Or the ones with the notes left on your car asking to meet up/if it's me "h82bslow/C", or worse someone waiting just to talk to me and see what I look like... My best respone to all of these types of situations was: 1)try and keep any responses as quick as possible, but also nice and cordial

*Edited post for this: MeanMachine-similar thing happened to me when someone tracked down where I lived when I had my Lotus Elise and my father had his Ford GT and AM Vanquish S. Freaky stuff. Thank god we lived in a high-rise condo building with four security gates and round-the-clock guards and cameras; standard I know but necessary when you have those plus our neighbors Ferrari and Porsche collection in the same garage along with numerous Bentleys, Rolls, and my mother's W211 E55 Kompressor Wagon. Maybe that's how they tracked us down. Anyways, I always ramble and disgress from the OP

Again, I know I am chiming in being a recent frequent poster, but recently I've been bored and in the job hunt after graduation from college. In the hunt for a new car, job, etc. but these were things I used to experience, not so much with my more-discreet Audi... Just was trying to relate

^Oh wow. AFter reading that, I had to come up for some air. I thought Porsche was bad. I selected most of that stuff on order. Hmm. My MSRP will bust $300k easy. Ouch.

Meridian surround sound in your car is pretty baller though. But I agree, those extras are quite pricy. 13k$ for cf brakes, almost as bad as Lamborghini...
