Hi All,
Back after a few weeks break, hope you have all been nice to each other.

Something i've been wondering about. We see a lot of photos with cars with number plates blocked out to hide the identity of the car. On the other hand with a bit of looking you can find numerous engine /chassis details on owners particular cars. Should we not safeguard this information, not wanting to give anyone any daft ideas but couldn't this be used in cloning a vehicle?

Shush everyone, Dave's back!

Dear Dave,
This information is available from official sources anyway.
Ciao,

JB, Like I said, 'be nice'.
Cheers Adrian, I wasn't aware that this info was freely available. Kind of makes a mockery of the bits of tape etc we see covering up number plates though dont you think. It seems to be more a UK rather than a Stateside thing from what I can gather.

Is that why your avatar only shows a portion of the back of the car?

Wikkid911

I thought somebody may try and copy the front. You know, just to be on the safe side only a portion is all i'm showing (that added to the fact that by the time I had got the file size down to an acceptable level there was only a tiny piece of car left).

...try standing further away from the car with the camera - you'll find you can get more of the car in the shot

Speak to JB about that, he took the photo!

By the way Rob, congrats on your 500th post. You must nearly need a new keyboard eh?

There must be something wrong with me tonight. Either that, or this board is in one of its hysterical phases!
