On topic...

Yesterday morning, I was passed by a 99 Ford SVT Cobra convertible. Now the interesting note, that makes it worth while to this thread was the plate.

Keep in mind, here in Massachusetts, most people don't pronounce the "R".

Hence the plate: SLITHA
 
If you want to ask Exoticspotter for the IP address of the person who stole and uploaded your photos, we can check here and see if it was a GTP registered user.
This, from the "World's Worst Moderator"...
Also sorry to see the lack of appreciation for your contrabutions here.
We appreciate his contributions. We don't appreciate his tantrums.
If you and Duke say so...
This is what, the third time? ...fourth time? ...that Doug has left in a huff and sworn he's never coming back. Forgive us for being a little jaded at this point.

The first three must have been before my time here then...

Speaking of number plates, C3 SHT has been pootling around Heckmondwike lately.
 
AAAAnyway.

I passed an SLR on the M4 today. Unfortunatley I was driving and wasn't able to get my phone out and take a pic. :(

While I don't understand why anyone would care as there is no financial gain/loss involved... doing an IP check would be an excellent way to at least know who is copying the photos.

A simple apology from M5Power to those that took offense to his stereotypical generalizations of Alfas would have ended this nonsense a long time ago. Instead, no all the attention is on M5Power, which I would have thought he would not have wanted to begin with as it draws attention to his previous missteps that he has had on this board.

He'll be back at some point once he's picked his toys back up, Lovelace. :odd:
Hasn't M5Power announced leaving GTP at least three times already over just the last couple years?

Off and Up Out
Well everyone


In fact, I have to say.. after looking over M5Power threads, and many of his posts... it has left me quite confused. I lost track of the number of different cars he has claimed to own (Suburban, BMW 740i, Mercedes CLK55, Mercedes ML430, Mercedes ML500, Range Rover, Porsche Cayenne Turbo, Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI, and more)

I am equally confused over his reported location, which has been mentioned as being Texas, NY, Michigan, Colorado, and others (yes, folks move... but)

He has also posted contradicting information on his age and that he was married and had a child.

But as it turns out he apparently is only 19, living in Atlanta, and he just got his first car last year, a used 1996 Volvo 850 Turbo. Which is certainly nothing to be ashamed about or even out of the ordinary, but that in itself makes the previous lies all that much worse. Being yourself is always better than pretending to be someone you are not. Someone with nothing who doesn't pretend to be someone else will have a great deal more respect from others than someone with nice things who only pretends to have a great deal more than they already have.

At this point I have no idea what is truthful and what isn't in regards to what M5Power has said about himself and the cars he owns, but only that it suggests that maybe he really could use a break from his online activity. If nothing more than to get a fresh start and focus on what is real and not imagined. I can't possibly say I know him, but I do wish him well, and hope he returns with a better attitude, a clearer understanding of what is truly important, and without the need to pretend to be someone other than himself.

Peace be with him, and I hope he finds his way back after everything settles down (both here, and in his personal life).
 
TO THE PERSON WHO POSTED MY PHOTOS ON EXOTICSPOTTER AS HIS OWN:

This act is illegal under civil law and immoral. I hold all rights to my photos. The proprietor of the Website and myself are discussing how to handle this matter at the present time. Do note that when posting on ExoticSpotter the following warning is given: "We only accept photographs which were taken by yourself or of which copyright you own. If not, please secure permission for web reproduction from the copyright owner." This is a serious warning, and failure to do so can result in a civil lawsuit.

I have removed all photos from GTPlanet and intend never to post another here. I have further removed all of my other photos from the Internet and am in the process of watermarking and tagging each one with my name. One bad apple ruins it for the rest of you. My decision to no longer post here was, clearly, a good one. You people are unbelievable.

Wow, so you must have gotten word fast because I just checked all the Colorado and Georgia pictures, and none of them are your's. Not even this one.

For me today, nothing more than a mere Gaurd's Red 911 Turbo 996.
 
I'll have some fairly interesting pictures tomorrow I think... Heres a preview.

In NYC I saw....

Aston Martoin V8 Vantage
Chrysler Crossfire
Several Porsche Carreras
about 50 Mercedes Benz S-Classes and BMW 7s
Ferrari 360 Spider
A BMW 335i coupe - First one I've seen.

Pics later :)
 
In reply to the topic, yes, I saw a good car today, an incredibly rare one to say the least.

Yep, I sighted the only genuine Nismo Z-tune R34 GTR in Australia!
It's the 15th of the 20 released in the world that arrived at Autostyle workshop in Sydney on request a month or so back.
I have no idea why it was in Melbourne though nor could I get a photo of it but nevertheless, it definately made my day!
 
A short time ago there was a lot of fannying around when the mods decided to take action against people not posting pictures of cars with their claims as it didn't fall into the requirements of posting in this thread. So, in what way is all this childish bickering relevent to a thread in which we are supposed to post pictures of cars we have seen today? Grow up people.

Meanwhile (and most definately on topic) this is what I have seen recently. While some of it isn't that great, it's a whole lot better than having to scroll through post of endless petiness to see some cars...

- Lotus outside my house this morning had a strange, purposely misaligned exhaust set up
- HK folk love their Benzes and this classic Mercedes convertible was a breath of fresh air

- Bawdy SW20 Toyota MR-2
- Unmodified RX-7 quite rare here
- Fezza 360M out of my office window
- A not unmodified RX-7 more common

untitled2ww2.jpg


- Sexy Alfa GTV
- Fezza 430 Spider
- ...and to fill the space, the car of all my dreams: the biblical Ferrari 288 GTO which I bought today on Test Drive Unlimited - We are not worthy!!!!!

Lucky you! I will most probably, pretty much as close to most definitely, will never get to see one of those in my life. Being that there are very few Skylines in the US as it is, the chances of a Z-tune being here are slim and none.

Great pictures chaser! 👍 And I need to try Test Drive Unlimited . . .

Yer, I cannot believe I saw it myself, pity my chances of catching it with a camera were slim to none.
 
I saw a Ford Sierra Cosworth up my road, a EK9 Civic Type R down the road and in the city today I saw a DB8 ITR and a FD RX7 with a healthy pulse to it :D
 
Well the only thing I could think of was an Urraco and I looked it up on Google. They looked similar, so thats what I said, and I could not make out the badge.
 
It's a Lotus Eclat.

Now that is a car that's unreliable and likely to spontaneously combust at the drop of a hat. You won't find many people, Lotus fans included, who will argue against that.
 
Saw this today





Check out all the guys looking at it in the 2nd photo!

I also saw a Phantom, but I've seen enough of them.
