B.Anderson sent me a PM letting me know that a friend of his found this thread:

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109251

This ******bag, The Metro posted a whole bunch of pictures that I took with his watermark on them claiming that the 997TT was his. I need to redo all my pictures which really sucks because I've got a whole bunch of them on my site and on here, etc. I hate it when this happens!

I posted on the 2nd page letting this ******bag know of my thoughts.

Damn, what a loser!

I've had some of my car photos taken from my pBase account and put into other galleries, but no one has "claimed" to be the owner of my car!

Your photos are too nice to be covered with a watermark, but you may need to do this just to deal with these jerks.

Damn Jason, what a dick! What would make a person feel compelled to do that? I would have loved to have seen your response to him! We should all bombard him with messages! Brad

Even worse, someone tried to sell Martin's (iLLM3's) Ruf modified GT2 on eBay with pics taken from 6speed! They wanted "wired funds" before shipping out the car.

That is one igorant SOB. Sure takes *****. Are you going to reply? I am sure a lot of your fellow 6speeders would be more than willing to reply to this character (I am attempting to be polite.)

What's worse is when some people post pictures from other soldiers' albums from combat in Iraq or Afghanistan and pretend to be combat veterans.

Here are pics of my car. I hope you enjoy! I took these umm errr in Seattle? It was nice out that day. Took me a while to set up and I used a 35mm disposable Kodak with 800 speed film. I think i will list it on ebay as well because my M5 is much more the HAWTNESS than this blue demon



Jason that sucks. Ballsy! Glad you responded to it.

Duffy, look on the 2nd page. I already responded in the nicest possible way. I'm a nice guy in general but this just pisses me off to no end. I sent him a PM too. We'll see what he has to say. B.Anderson was looking out for his fellow 6speeder when he let me know about that thread. I'm glad that we're out there looking out for each other. Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

You guys are definitely welcome to sign up and post if you wanted to. I signed up just so I could respond to this loser.

As for putting watermarks on my images. I deliberately left those out for your viewing pleasure because I know it really ruins the image but I'm afraid that I'm going to have to start doing it so this doesn't happen again. I had a few incidents with people stealing pictures of my old M5 and claiming them as their own too. The nerve of some people....

Wow...I just read through that thread...some people REALLY are pathetic. I mean, sure that might be the cool thing to do when you are 11, but c'mon now!

PS: I was thinking of posting photos of my McLaren F1 LM, my Zonda R, and my CLK-GTR, but I didn't QUITE have the chance to today...maybe tomorrow

The entertainment factor was worth it.

Comcast - $19.99
Stealing other images - free
Posting pictures and claiming they're yours and then original owner coming in to post about them - priceless

I need to come up with a better catchphrase than that. Any help guys? Wish I had captured the images before he took them down! That would've been funny.
