Does this sort of thing annoy anybody else?

Specifically the bit about insuring it as a non-turbo. It's all well and good until you wipe out someones pride and joy and your insurance company refuses to cover you because you falsly represented your car on the insurance.

Grrr, I've always paid a fortune to keep my cars insured by the time I've declared absolutely everything, I even had to phone my insurer to double check that the car bought up on the online thing was right as it was bringing it up as a 420 GSi and I wanted to check that they had it as a turbo (which they did)

More than annoys me

fktards like this are the reason insurance is so high for honest people.

What a spacktard that guy is, not only advising people to commit insurance fraud, but as good as admitting he does already and therefore has no insurance.

[mically]

hmm, I really couldn't read it - that surely must be the worlds longest sentance.

on and on on and on on and on on and on

Report the advert.

[toppstuff]

He's committing an offence. Send in the BiB as far as I am concerned.

[dwilkie]

Scotal,

How do I do that? I live with an MDP Copper, I'll ask him if I'll get anywhere reporting it as most of the crimefiles he ends up doing are traffic related so he should know the process

[Mr E]

The 3rd party would still be covered. The fraudulently insured scooby would not be.

You can report the advert to PH admin by using the button at the top right of the ad.

Yeah the insurance company will generally pay out to the third party and then bill the policy holder for the costs.

[dwilkie]

Ah right, I didn't know that I just figured the insurance company would void the cover and you'd have to go through the whole hit by an uninsured drive palava...

It doesn't make it any better though

Luckily his plate is visible in the pictures. So M318TRJ will hopefully get a visit from the BiB or a rude letter from his insurer

Reported - boy do I feel daft now... And I'm an IT Manager too

Isn't there a website where you can check a vehicle is insured - and doesn't that tell you the make and the model of the insured car? I'm sure I've seen it somewhere...

Does indeed show you the make and model

[dwilkie]

Ooh I didn't think of Crimestoppers. Not sure they'd really be the people to talk to about this though, I reckon a quick call to the local station would be a better option?

[james_tigerwoods]

Is it actually possible to report this sort of thing - or anything like this (such as ridiculously loud exhausts, illegal numberplates, etc)?

[dwilkie]

Hmmm, not 100% sure that I can use that as I don't own the vehicle or drive it, and I'm not certain that this would count as reasonable cause... Better to let the police check for themselves I guess as I wouldn't want to incur the wrath of the information commissioner...

[Dracoro]

My mate used to own this car.

It's changed a lot since he had it!!

it's (was) a wrx import (260bhp).

It was a darker blue back then too.
