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.

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..

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.

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 ;)

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?

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.

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...
