@ ingo:
Seriously, 199 pictures in a single post? This time you win the prize of the most boring and most unreadable message...
But even your "standard" endless posts with dozens of pictures are usually just a kind of pain in the ass (I try to use your way of speaking
): they take ages to load, and one needs to scroll during minutes when wanting to retrieve a particular picture. Trying to share "outside" (in an e-mail or in another forum) a specific picture of one of them is also impossible, as linking to the whole post is useless: "Hey, look at that amazing car. Scroll down till the 85th picture in this post! Or is it the 79th one?".
Unless you want to be the only one to enjoy your pictures (and if so, why bother publishing them here?), why not following antp's proposal to split your messages? It would indeed certainly be nice for most of us if you tried to use what is also called the Netiquette, i.e. the courtesy conventions of Internet users. Among other things, it emphasizes on techniques used to minimize the effort required to read a post or a thread...

Your'e correct: the amount of pics is disturbing, especially on mobile appliances - but even there the pics a loading in an acceptable time.
For me the cluttering of thread-space in the Mark99-style with, three, four or even more postings, where only one -mostly dull- car is visible, is a real, not comparable with your petitesse, pain in the ass.
The "most boring message" is either an impudence and also bullshit - it may sound boastful, but was there ever a posting before with a content of such a lot of real outstanding vehicles (which are even all running!)? I don't think so.
I always sort things out and only post a small amount of pictures. Noone wants to look through 199 pictures (i didnt count but i trust eLMeR on that one). Most people will zip through it and look for the cars that they personally like or that they find interesting.
This kind of picture useage is what i do because when i posted hundreds of pictures on Facebook there were only little comments. Even here when i posted only some pictures from Nürburgring, noone answered on that post. I am the kind of guy who wants a little review and i am disappointed if i dont get any.
Not that i want to say, you HAVE to comment. But no comments means that my pictures are uninteresting and it makes me feel wrong.

No problem, Purzel
Your pics are interesting, but about a topic, not everyone is interesested in or has some profunde knowledge.I cannot say anything about that, as the cars are far too new and too sporty for may car-horizon.
A Good job anyways
Went to the start of the Baltic Circle Rally with my father today - he wanted to say goodbye to his co-workers, who were participating (red VW T4, number #150)
The cars must cost no more than €25,000, and have to be at least twenty years old; even a Mercedes W210 and a tacky looking Audi A8 were participating.
