We are an endangered species, you and I. We lovers of speed. We devotees of power, performance and noise.“Go away”, we are told, “and take your carbon-fiber and your fire-spitting V12s with you” There’s hardly a place out here for us anymore, not amongst all the commuters and congestion. Not in this growing age of safety and restraint, where practicality trumps adrenaline. Where the ratio of miles to the gallon is championed over horsepower to the weight. The evidence is everywhere. You and I are being squeezed out, pushed aside and hunted down at every hairpin turn. It’s a communal celebration of horsepower, torque, grip, leather, technology, beauty. And it is these fleeting aspects which we spotters hope to capture before its too late.
"A Car spotter is a person who is typically strongly interested, in an amateur capacity, in car spotting, which is observing or photographing interesting, vintage, rare, modified, and/or exotic supercars on public roads. Car spotters can be found worldwide." [Wikipedia]
