Focus Rs In Detroit? - NikiterZTS - 05-07-2009
I don't know bro.....look at the street signs.....they look like they ones we have around here.
And that Buick that a black dude is getting out of. Nobody drives those cars across the pond.
But I do agree that lisence plate does look a little silly.

the plate isnt on the correct angle for the picture for it to be real, and it just looks photoshopped on lol

Those aren't photoshopped.
The shots are way too continuous.
The continuity is perfect.

fatphocus hit the nail on the head its not on the right angle and if you look closely again

Look at the Sidekick or Van or whatever in the top left you can so tell that a square was photoshopped in to make it look like a us plate

Can somebody run those plates so we can get over this photoshoped issue.
It does look photoshoped (and if it is I'll be dissapointed in AnthonyD's skills since he works in that line of work :) )
I'm 99% sure that this photo was taken in North America. The cars,the sign are all similar of what we have in Canada. I spotted Lincoln MKX (upgraded Edge) on the background in the second photo. They don't have that vehicle down there.
It's really too bad we can't see other cars lisence plates.

It's not a plate on the sidekick you dummy!
It's the mirror of the car in front of it :lol:
Tale a look at ALL the pictures. The distance of the car from the curb, the bricks inside the spoiler, the markings on the curb in relationship to the car in each shot etc.... The continuity between each shot is correct.

Jebus I thought I was cynical and doubted everything on teh interwebs
What is so unusual about a Euro Foucs being in NA in a place like Detroit or whatever. I saw a Euro Fiesta around the Oakville plant years ago.
-The streetscape is obviously NA form the cars, signage and Pimp Master Flash's lid. I am pretty sure my brotha isn't heading to Ascot.
-The license plate is askew because there are no stock bolt holes for a NA plate. Its probably held on by wire and/or duct tape. It looks odd because it is retro-reflective. Take a flash pic of your own car in poor lighting and compare.
-Look through the windows of the Focus, who'd go to all that trouble and WHY? I know there are a lot of people with too much time on their hands out there but if you were going to do an elaborate fake why bother faking a totally reasonable, believible scenario?
-I could see faking ONE picture but a whole series? WHY?
Speaking of bored.............=ME :lol:

To me the plate looks like it's been attached by magnets or something on a space that isn't quite high enough to hold it ... so it's sitting a bit higher than the Euro plate sitting behind it ... add the reflective nature of the Michigan plate and the fact that it's off kilter a bit and I can see how it might look photoshopped ... but IMO it's not.
