I was going to post a couple of pics of my car but noticed that most people blank out the number plates on their photos.

Is this cos thieves trace your address via the plate?

I've seen other photos in the TVR section where the plate is on full view so it seems a fairly random thing on here.

An topic of many a discussion. I don't see the point... just sit outside Donnington on the 11th/12th and you'll have all the plates on view any self respecting car thief could wish for!

That's what I think.

Well, here's my first photo - not at all inspired by Mr Tony's of course

(Sorry about the dead flowers on the bonnet)

Thanks Mr T

I walked past the car, noticed the low light and thought "photo opportunity".

The lighting is very similar to your photo but it does show off the lines.

Its not to stop thefts of the car from addresses, its to stop scum useing your plate on a similar stolen car.
Cloneing!
