    I'm sick and tired of seeing pictures of exotic cars taken at car shows or race tracks. They're all the same.

    Exotic cars really shine when they're among ordinary cars. I've created a site that ONLY contains exotic cars on the street. There's a searchable database where you can view by make, model, and location. If the site grows, I'll allow users to search by even more detail (city, date, etc).

    If you've got pictures, please submit them. I've already had people submit about 60 photos so you can browse what's already on there.

    http://www.exoticspotter.com

    Please help make this site a success as I'm sure there's many like me who enjoy seeing exotic cars "in the wild".

    feedback is also appreciated.

    awesome, brilliant, erm should we email you the pics to the address in your profile.
    Dont have many at the moment but I am always on the lookout, just got a new camera to keep in the glovebox of the car!

    Just looked at your profile, you don't have an email in there but I will send what I have via the site!

    cool. Glad you guys like the idea.

    To submit pictures, just click on the link at the top that says: "Submit Your Photos".

    Here is the direct link:
    http://exoticspotter.com/addPhoto.php

    I prefer if you submit through the site because you can include location and details which will all be databased and searchable.

    thanks

    I plan on updating the site once per week. The reason the site is not updated in real-time is because I feel it's important to have a "human" editor weed out all the boring pictures. I hate going to a site and having to click through dozens of pictures to see the good ones.

    If the site gets popular, I will assign trusted moderators who can choose photos and maybe have the site updated once a day or more.

    Yeh sounds like a very good idea to do it weekly rather than allowing the site to jam up with crap!
    Will keep tuned for this one though, hopefully it'll work very well indeed!

    I really prefer that you upload it through the site. (Makes my job a lot easier and allows you to include interesting details such as location and details)

    But I understand if you have a lot of photos and you'd rather just email it. Please include the location where you photographed (be specific with names of streets or landmarks)

    You can email it to: [email protected]

    Did you post that picture on the web? It's possible that someone stole it from another site and submitted it. It's very difficult for me to verify sometimes. If the photo submitted is in high resolution, that makes it more likely that the person submitting is the actual owner of the photo. This one in particular was pretty high rez.

    Nevertheless, I have removed this photo from the site.

    Send me a private message and I'll send you the email of the person who submitted this.

    haha no its not a problem...you can use the picture. you have a great site and im glad that you had the picture there, just suprised to see it there.
    There is some other small errors if you want me to be picky...the silver zonda, its parked right outside the pagani factory in italy.

    I submitted and no photo of mine, Lotus Esprit, showed up. How long did it take to show up? Did you have to put your logo on the photo first? I like your web by the way, wish you well...

    When I upload the pictures, should I resize them first, or just keep the at full resolution?

    Just keep it at full resolution. I've programmed it so it automatically resizes.

    I'm going to update the photos once per week. By the way, that was a nice photo you submitted. It's pretty rare to see 3 Lotuses parked on the street in Bangkok.
