Trying to find my first

[s1nrr]

been wondering for a while who has my first two Chimaeras??

The First

P419 CDP Dark Pearl Blue Metalic 4.0, Magnolia with blue stitching I sold it after 9 months from new around November 97 some one from London Bought it from Henley Heritage...

R Reg 4.5( cant remember the reg)new first registered March 98 BUT distinctive as it was Volvo T5 Cream Yellow with black Leather and Yellow Stiching also had ally dash and the number plate B1 2HOT.

Just fancy finding out their fates as i have just found out my beloved old Cerbera has been Written off!!!.....

Looks like the first car's had its plate changed/been written off as it's not listed on the RAC site.

I wouldn't put too much store by that site, as of the 3 "random" (correct) registrations I just tried it with, 1 apparently didn't exist, 1 was correct and 1 was hopelessly wrong.

It's been pretty much spot on with all my cars. Maybe you just own a load of lemons? (Only kidding)

Shame if it isn't all that accurate. I'm in the process of getting a laptop ready to wire into the car with loads of neat gadgets - being able to find out the stock spec of a car I'm racing/whatever was high on the list of things to do!

A bit off topic, but have you seen this - www.stuffandting.com/carbox/?menu=stuff. A friend of mine (and another ex-greenheader, James) wrote it. Never saw the point myself but people seem to rate it...

Met him out on a drive off PH a few weeks back. I'm planning on writing my own for it - I've got a LOAD of cool software to install, and am considering setting up a side-line selling seriously-sorted in car PC systems for around £600. This should include touch-screen wide-screen monitor, DVD player, GPS, etc. The GPS alone will be like nothing you've seen before; overhead aerial photography of the whole of the UK - plotting your position on that, rather than a couple of wavy lines on a grey background! All of this'll be running from 2nd hand (but decent spec) laptops, so you can take it out of the car - great for catching up on PH and watching films in hotel rooms, etc.

Just working on my proof-of-concept one at the moment. Could do with a copy of "copilot" to see if it's any better for in-car route following than MapPoint, Navigator, Destinator, etc. though...

Checked out a few of my recently disposed of daily hacks - most were there but 'Date of Manufacture' wrong. Pleased to see an 87 XR2 Mrs Dodger had for 7 yrs is still around. Had another 6 owners though!

Couldn't believe my old 1967 MGBGT was still around! Although it shows 1 previous owner - must be typo and should read 10 (or more). Lots of old hacks not showing.

Sounds familiar, it wouldn't happen to have a reg that starts with SUY?
