To which Phat replied...


I saved the photos to my account so if the car gets taken down we will still have the photos.

So are we likely to lose the pictures on MazdaRoadster when the Japanese site deletes them?

Yup! You are merely proving a link (directions) to an image (data) that is being held on someones server. If that picture is moved, or deleted, the link will point to the empty space.

Thanks for that.
That's not so handy really. I guess I'll have to host them on flikr if I want them to stay around. It's a lot more time consuming though.

I always try to snag worthwhile pictures before they disappear, especially with sale ads.

I already saved those on my flickr account and edited your post with my links, so that post is good do go. I generally save all the M2 Corp related stuff because I have a soft spot for it, LOL
