Wow...
VRN was SON 3.

What a cracking looking motor, parked right next to the Pay Machine too - for all to see; well you would? Sorry no pic.

Some 'it crowd' bash thanksgiving at the church I beleive.

I’m sure this discussion’s been had before, but I don’t understand why posting a reg number can be considered a problem. It’s on public view every time the car is used, after all.

Privacy laws maybe? Certainly the most practical reason is to prevent similar cars being able to be easily disguised with false registrations that look legit, by criminals. Then again, they could just search autotrader as I doubt all the regs are blanked on there?

I also think it is unnecessary to post full registrations - it might or might not be somewhere on the net already, but still doesn't mean one has to make it even easier to find it. I also think there is a big difference between drivingnaround for everyone to see and having it online to be searchable at anytime from anywhere.

Or just go to the GT3 Registry, on the public domain, and see reg number and name there, which is where it can be found.
clap

Seriously, it is a fantastic car - and how many have been seen?

I've not studied the registry, if it's on there, fair enough. If however a car isn't on there and you take it upon yourself to splash pictures of the car showing it's registration number, then that's a different matter altogether . . .

So two things:
1. You haven't studied the registry; the link is there should you wish to do so - or you can just make a random comment on this post.
2. Different matter for who? People in general or the OP in particular?

It's simply a very, very rare car, with an unusual number plate that other people might see and want to enjoy.

1. No I haven't studied the registry (and I wouldn't unless I was in the market for a car, and even then I'd not put too much faith in what's on there . . . .)

So just which bit of "if it's on there, fair enough" didn't you get ?

2. People such as your good self posting random pictures of cars and their reg numbers on forums such as this . . .
