I think in this day and age, avoiding people taking photos at track days is becoming increasingly difficult.

The photos were taken by one of the chaps on the ZM Forum...

Rags, taking pics is not the point mate, taking pics of someone's misfortune and putting it on the WWW is F'ing stupid, see my post on other forum.

In principle i agree, but perhaps the photographer asked permission?

He did not, thats why the pics have been pulled.

Yeah, one if the guys on the forum took the photos then the owner wanted them deleted.

Anyway, its not like you can identify the identity of the owner or the car itself/

It's taking me a while to get the rules here, but I take it any negativity towards a BMW M3 CSL is not allowed, especially comments regarding depreciation of a BMW M3 CSL. It's ok to talk about a damaged BMW M3 CSL, but posting a picture so that users can see more clearly what's being discussed is not allowed. And it's ok to discuss benefiting from a damaged BMW M3 CSL owners misfortune by bagging a cheap car?

Great, all clear.

Is it an opportunity for me to build a racecar - yes.
Did this arise from someone elses misfortune - yes.

However, I maintain this is the best option now open to said owner. He would be better placed to sell the car as is at circa £10k and put the money he would have/will spend fixing it (I estimate £12-£16k) towards buying an uncrashed example.

Either way, I've know who's car it was and been in touch. He's chosen to repair it and I wish him the best and will help if I can. The pictures in my mind were harmless as they didn't identify the specific car but given then owner asked for them to be taken down then it's only fair to respect those wishes.
