And it's like, I've spent 2 years building up my photostream, I have followers and all, and it's almost unbearable to consider the pain of switching. Did it once when my Imageshack got full, and I still miss some of those photos. Now, if photobucket could easily when I sign up grab all my photos out of Flickr and let my followers know where I went, that would be awesome!

And Flickr was great for me until about 2 days ago, when the new interface was enforced.

Have you tried 500px or ipernity yet? I've heard about it but haven't got any photos on those sites.

I'm not happy with the new style of sharing through flickr, it wasn't easy before but now the size changes constantly.

Right-clicking to select the size you wanted was easy enough. Having to fish about for the image URL now just seems like pointless step backwards.

Why don't you use photobucket?

I never did like Photobucket. It reduces image quality more than I'd accept, which is the same reason why I stopped uploading spots to Picasa even though resizing images was a cinch.

Right now I think the best bet would be to resize my photos before uploading them straight to GTP. At least I won't have to maintain multiple image galleries and have deal with more questionable changes to the host sites.

The old flickr used to keep the size you wanted every photo but now it keeps switching back.

Little bit back on topic, my most viewed wild spot (for what the view count's worth) at 790 currently.

any but the current gen of M5's are exceedingly rare, too, nice catch!

:lol: I'm sorry, but it's just so funny to hear that you find f10 M5s common. I only saw 3 of those once on the highway and that was because they were with other M powered BMWs, probably going to a BMW type of event.

Well, I guess I don't REALLY have enough data to say, but I've already seen 4 F10's, compared with 3 E60's and 3 E39's, and one E28. Oddly, 2 of my E39's were exactly a year apart, within 1 minute!

Edit: per bmwmregistry.com's FAQ (just to NA) and M5Portal.com for the F10

E28: 1,340
E34: 1,678
E39: 9,992
E60: 9,491
F10: 4,467 and counting as of last August as near as I can tell, so on track for 5,500+ by now... so I'll go ahead and eat my words, I guess! :lol:

The first is an XK8 or XKR. The Merc is an E63 AMG. The MG is a ZT, not officially sold in the US (I didn't even know they made them in LHD!), so very rare and a very good spot. If the MG had quad exhausts that makes it a RWD 260 model with a 260 bhp Ford V8, which seems most likely given that that engine would be very easy to run in America. The red and white car appears to be a Packard.
 
Thanks! I was hoping somebody would get to that, my guesses are always wrong... someday I'll get one right, maybe. :)

I spotted the F10 a few times and the one that lived nearby was crashed some weeks ago :grumpy: I'm too lazy to dig up the photos, but I've spotted him exactly 5 times and made photos 3 times :D I really really really hope to see it back again soon..

foto40 by Carlos van Wijk, on Flickr

When I shot a photo of this beast, the owner walked up and said: ha you want to buy? I replied: Sure, what are you asking? He just looked at me, laughed, got in; I'm never going to sell this!

Not sure what it is but it's big:

Then something caught my interest, ofcourse not those Borbets:

That's it 👍

This car needs no introduction. Seen on, where else, Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills during our Starlight Bus tour. The fact is, L.A. offers up every exotic/super/hyper car there is, but this beauty is a bit rare.
