All you'd have to do is save one of the pics and click on its properties. He was using a Nikon D40, a pretty nice DSLR camera. 
Thanks for the help!

I'm a Honda fan...no doubt, but having the ability to appreciate other cars and other car cultures is key.
to your pics again and a big THANK YOU for posting them. In life, we encounter many people who maybe never had their mom say, "If you can't say anything nice..." You know the rest.

Don't fool yourself into thinking that our own cars...our beloved S2000s aren't viewed as "average."
When I look at the photos above...I'm not thinking of MSRPs or what the value is now...I look at the unique car culture for the brand...the enthusiasm for it and that's what gets me excited...that beats trend hi-end anyday of the week.
Some folks like to go and hang out with the Porsche crowd and/or BMW folks...ever notice the guys who own the OLDER cars are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cooler? They are often times "true enthusiasts." They've owned the car...they've done their own mods...they've experienced their car...yet they don't get the same respect because they paid their car off 5 years ago?? C'mon, I love a brand new M3...but I'd have MORE respect for the guy who bought an M3 back in '92 or '00. Someone who has worked to maintain the car...
I dunno...I find myself rambling here...but truth is, I appreciate pictures like the ones above...shows true enthusiasm! Thanks again!
