Its back! Not by popular demand but cos I sense things have gone quiet with the, ahem "administrative disturbences" and this might get peeps posting again.

If direct linking to an image keep it to a reasonable size - 150 kb.

Okay here's mine

I'm guessing you got your oil sump sorted, ando? Did it cost you alot?

JohnCleary · 20-10-2005 10:15am

An old pic of my baby, but a pic none-the-less.
Since the pics were taken ive gotten rid of the naff rear lights,got rid of the front 'light covers', replaced the silver mesh with more subtle black mesh, smoothened out the 'chrome' strips on the front bumper and replaced discs all round (MG ZS 180 front disc upgrade & MG ZR 160 rear discs)

The reason for the brake upgrade... 2ltr turbo being dropped in there after XMas

Why do people block out their number plates ??

drdre · 21-10-2005 12:52am

i would also love to find out why people block out their plates.:rolleyes:

Squirrel · 21-10-2005 8:24am

ciarsd, were you not trying to sell the 147 a while back?

layke · 21-10-2005 10:11am

People block their plates so

a) nobody knows the lic no, thus cant find out your address, thus can't rob it.

b) To make sure nobody from the insurance underworld sees your car after mentioning the crash you just had... etc

Presumably you mean registration number: How exactly would you find someone's address from their registration. Have you got access to sekrit underworld tools?

Also, why have you got "Escalade Rims" on the front splitter of a Civic?

Yes, as above. Never post your reg plate on a public forum, especially on here! I certainly won't do it again here after what happened when I was trying to sell my last car. A nice fellow boardser (also a mod btw) was going to ring revenue and get them to come and seize my car (right after destroying my for sale thread and getting it deleted) which was on GB plates even though it wasn't been driven on public roads.

All because he was ill informed about the condition of the car from some idiot who thinks he's a specialist in Bray who never even looked under the bonnet.
Anyway, for your info the car sold outside of Boards for the asking price (where I wouldn't try and sell a car ever again after the above experience) and the buyer was extremely happy with his purchase. Car never gave him any trouble whatsoever.

Do you want to try it out? Post up your reg and i'll show you what can be found. You'd be surprised

Car cloning is a big problem in the UK and as such folk are nervous. Less of an issue here TBH.

Jeez adam - whats been eating you this past while? Why are you going around taking digs at everyone? (Queue dig at me no doubt now... ;-)

Kersh · 21-10-2005 1:39pm

@ squirrell - of course its an auto.
A twin turbo auto never falls off boost, ever..... a manual does. And on the mway, all i gotta do is mash the pedal and im down 2 gears and off like a rocket, while the poor soul in his manual has to clutch at least twice, and fall off boost too.....
Oh, and i spend lots of time on the M50.....:rolleyes:

Unless I'm very much mistaken, yerman is talking about using private resources - or worse, public/government resources - unethically and illegally. On a public forum. That might be ok with you, but it's not with me.

mike65 · 21-10-2005 3:04pm

Well, as Pedro was going to nick your car anyway....! Seriously I think he was just making the point, all sorts browse boards and a few of them might be in a position to use databases* in an illegal fashion. Pedro don't do bad things cos Adam will phone the cops!

Mike.

*in Switzerland you can buy the regestration database and nick the car, except the Swiss don't do that sort of thing.

If I knew his name I seriously would report him to the Data Protection Commissioner. Oirish acceptance of this kind of thing - check out dis fella for me Paddy, fix me ticket Paddy, here's a few bob for de plannin' permission Paddy - drives me nuts. What's sad is that it doesn't drive more people nuts.

ds20prefecture, FYI there's a couple of DS's on Carzone atm, in the one ad. One restored in white, one pre-restoration in blue. Thought you or a colleague may be interested. EDIT: Here you go.

@mike65 thanks for re-iterating my point. I think you would have to be looking (as DukeDredd said) to knock people or be totally stupid to see that I was trying to help people by doing it.

OMG. I hate having to spell everything out for people on here, it's ridiculous. So you're saying that you would report me to the Data Protection Commissioner when all I am trying to do is demostrate to people posting their reg numbers up willy nilly that if somebody has a vendetta against you then this information can be used against you. Just like you're trying to do.

As said above, to prove a point I would do it to demonstrate to people how easy it is for certain people do it. I certainly do NOT, nor do I condone doing any such thing.

@ds20prefecture, sorry but forget what I said earlier. You can all fcuk off if you think i'm going to risk my job to help anybody on here anymore. Even after I explain how I was screwed over in a previous thread, Ken Anal comes on quoting acts and legislation trying to beat me over the head with it. A fine example of what is wrong with this forum.

My point is made, I told everybody what I was going to do, but somebody could easily do it anonymously as well ya know without publicly declaring themselves. Making your point and linking to the Data Protection act won't stop somebody who hates you using your reg to get info on you because you will not know they are doing it so stop wasting your time.

Thankyou.

@ Squirrel, yup I had advertised during summer as I was sent abroad with work. I didn't want it lying around, unused so I decided I'd try sell privately. Ran out of time, headed off with work and one of my brothers took care of the car. Now I'm back and loving it again

Alfasudcrazy · 21-10-2005 7:46pm

My babies – you can see I like cars from a broad spectrum – well there is nothing like variety.:rolleyes:
I am just about sorted regarding having them all under wraps for the winter which makes a change from last year when my buying spree was a little crazed. But I always adopt the maxim ‘Ah sure it will all work itself out in the end’ – and so it has.:p

There is only a few possible tweaks I am thinking of making to the fleet. The Mk II Escort is for sale of course – as it has been for quite a while now and the status of the 504 is being considered. If I do get (as is my intention) a Mk II VW Golf GTI im afraid the 504 will have to go to make way for it.

I am quite enjoying this new fiscally responsible type of classic car ownership as is my bank manager – but a relapse is always just lurking around the corner so I am keeping away from Ebay and I don’t bring any money with me to classic car shows – well you just can’t be careful enough you know.:D
