Re : Sightings. - ex1z7 - 05-22-2007
I've been thinking the same thing every time I open a sighting thread..
Where are the pictures ?
What's the point in opening a sighting thread when nobody can really picture what you're talking about.. or identify anything with the really vague descriptions ?
I think we should start putting pictures in sighting threads, instead of just creating a sighting thread..
"I saw a yellow car..of..some sort..anyone own it here?"
No idea.
Post a picture of a yellow mustang where you can identify the year/model/everything and someone can say "Oh yeah that's my buddy Josh's!, 351 under the hood.. nice, I have more pics *post*"
Or similar..
So does anyone else agree? No more sighting threads without pictures?
=)

Sometimes it's difficult to get the camera out of the back seat, take it out of it's case, turn it on, take the picture, all going 120 kms/hr, and drive. Yes, pictures of stopped cars would help.
Re : Sightings. - NikiterZTS - 05-22-2007
i did take a couple pics so far......but the camera on my phone blows
Re : Sightings. - Spinal - 05-22-2007
i didn't take any pictures when i posted a sighting thread but i gave a very good description, one of the guys replied. :lol:
Re : Sightings. - PDW - 05-22-2007
The thread I posted I just figured how many ZX4's with the mods listed got wrecked at that Specefic intersection in London yesterday..
The black car was just an add in, I wouldnt have started a thread for the alone...
But pics arent a bad idea.. but they wouldnt always work..
Re : Sightings. - NOS2Go4Me - 05-23-2007
When driving and you're alone and the camera isn't out/ready... it's near-impossible.
If you have a co-pilot, it becomes a hell of a lot easier.
Re : Sightings. - ex1z7 - 05-23-2007
I completely understand the excuses you guys are all saying, but still, most of us have camera phones, and a lot of times there are ways to get the pictures when the car is still. At Tim Hortons etc.. Stop lights.. Or if you see the car when you're walking / driving residentially ..
I just want people to try harder ;)
Re : Sightings. - NOS2Go4Me - 05-23-2007
Meh, cell phones. The tools of the enslaved. ;)
Re : Sightings. - Mason - 05-23-2007
I dont ever see very many foco's with stuff done to em in london. Just the same few I always see.
Re : Sightings. - Flofocus - 05-23-2007
so you want people to scramble for their phone while driving just so the sightings threads have pictures. :blink:
Half the sightings I read are in the GTA, I couldnt give a flyin fawk whats spotted in the GTA. :lol:

Re : Sightings. - Focus man. Focus. - 05-23-2007
I don't know how to download my cell phone pic's to my computer. I have a Motorola L6, the manual says I need to buy software. Is that true?
Re : Sightings. - Mason - 05-23-2007
Buy / Download a copy of mobile phone tools.
If your phone does not do USB then you need this stupid motorola adapter that only comes with the software.
Re : Sightings. - Focus man. Focus. - 05-23-2007
it is a USB phone. Is the downloadable software free and where can I find it? I know nothing when it comes to my phone. LOL

Don't own a cell with a camera either, just a nikon d50 + toys.
And FloFocus : I said there are plenty of opportunities when at a stand still - I don't expect people to risk their lives just because a Focus has a spoiler or something ..

I'm too nervous of coming back to my car finding my window broken and my camera gone.. And I don't want to leave it in the trunk .. I leave it at home unless I'm working. When I invest in a solid case, I'll bring it everywhere...
