I have noticed A lot of new people on here lately so I was just thinking wat made you join ES Apart from your love of cars and maybe photography is there anything else?

For me I was about 10 and on wrecked exotics and on there was a link to ES. I forgot about it until the beginning of this year when I decided to make an account and post the few cool cars I see. And living in a country of 4 million people I don't really get to see a lot of cool cars so I use this to look at cool cars.

When I saw that White Pagani Huayra in Beverly Hills, I wanted to post it online, so I joined Exotic Spotter!

Oh god, hmm.. I watched video spotters on youtube and then searched google for websites that were devoted to carspotting. Found Autogespot and this site. I thought Autogespot was a bit messy and had cars that I really didn't care for so I mainly just began lurking on ES and after a month or so I decided to make an account.

I remember uploading some really terrible first shots and getting complements like "Your spots are great! I love 'em. You're a good spotter!" and it just makes me laugh looking back and seeing how terrible those photos were lol. Felt nice having photos appreciated though so I stuck around.

I had been on wrecked exotics, then I saw a Blue R8. I made my profile in a motorway service station. The rest is history!

I'd been lurking for about two and a half years when I made an account two years ago. I wanted to share my pictures and I had seen other stuff from my town. The rest is history :)

I looked up something like exotic cars in Dallas and came across this site. I liked it and viewed the site every couple of days. I saw a combo of three exotic cars on a truck and got a picture and I decided to make an account and upload it, that's how I first started.

Ive always loved cars but Pretty much shmee and supercarchannel92 got me into spotting cars. I don't quite remember how I found out about it but I used to be a daily lurker because I never thought I could keep up with everyone. I made an account because I saw a California on a highway and the picture came out amazing so I wanted people to see it. Its now like my 6th highest rated picture. But pretty much I made it cus some rich dude happened to drive next to me 6 months ago.

I was in study hall back in the winter of 7th grade. There was 35 people in this study hall and the teacher told us all to just sit wherever we wanted on the first day so we all decided to sit with our friends. This was a bad idea on the teachers part because this class was mostly filled with the stoners, bullies, and communists so it got pretty crazy in that class. On the second week she decided to make us all a seating chart next to people she thought would be complete opposites of us in an attemp to keep us semi quiet. I was kinda shy at the time so she decided to put me next to an equally quiet African American kid (neither of us are quiet at all anymore). He was an artist and liked to draw cars a lot. About a week later he was drawing a Bugatti Veyron and even at that time that was my favorite car so i said "nice drawing". A week before this the famous Bugatti crash had happenned so it was all over the news and one internet news site had a link to Wreckedexotics' top 10 most expensive crashes page. I rememberred this page in study hall so i decided to show him because i figured he would find it interesting. Well, when i went on there, at the bottom of the page was a link to ES so after showing him all of the crashes i clicked the link and thought it looked cool but closed it because study hall ended. A few months later, the summer started and my parents were driving through Sodus Point when i saw a Bentley Continental and a modified Mustang parked on the side of the street. I had them pull over so i could get some photos and when i got back home i made an account on here to post them. Been spotting ever since. Btw, the other kid in my study hall is now the owner of the rap group i'm in and one of my best friends but it was that day we met.

I had a similar experience to yours. I got into Facebook and YouTube spotters, and I actually hoped to become one myself. I had some shots and videos of cars, but I realized how hard it would be to just get a small amount of fans, especially with my camera. Then I googled carspotting websites and found Autogespot, but it was too big, confusing, and hard to sign up to, and half the time it wasn't in English. So then I found ES and I got known on here and because of it I've been to car week and a couple shows, and I've improved my photography. :)

Wrecked exotics, back when you voted for the pictures out of ten and they came in weekly updates, once the site was updated I tried to make an account but couldn't so I just lingered up until last year when my email finally let me make an account.

Partially due to Wreckedexotics (Actually that was quite a big influence). I was a Carspotter before i joined, but mainly on YouTube. I was on Autogespot first, got asked to go on that by a Belgian friend of mine. On WE, i saw this site, and i liked seeing some of the spots from my hometown (York), and thought i'd upload some of my content.
