That's the thing, if you don't discuss it in the hideout, you now have 2 threads where discussion could happen- in the hideout, where the photos are, and in General Automotive/local forum, whatever you guys wanted to make it.
Whereas if you discussed it in the Hideout, you now have one thread to discuss everything about that car.
Why do people make multiple threads about one car anyway? I find that weird- sometimes you have one put up by Wouter, and then another person does another thread. Perhaps the only difference was that one had a press release, and the other didn't. But since no one brought that up, I thought that was okay.
About the R8 GT, maybe you can do a thread merge?
