Looking at it - is this something that could be incorporated into the IMOC site - the map with the pins and then it could be based on location or similar from within the member profile????Speedy wrote:It was decided that the Frappr thing wouldn't be integrated with the board, because of the potential for misuse by people who might steal your car.
I don't think anyone really wants my Black Mk1a Rust Bucket Money Pit That Much Though!!! 
I really don't think a pin will result in someone nicking your car! For example my pin is in Derby, which was the closest place I could pick. I actually live 10 miles away. Someone would have to be mega keen to find it. Anyway that's my excuse for keeping it scruffy, no-one will want to nick it!

Or at least, to the same degree of fidelity that that map shows. Seems to be a bit of an MR2 exclusion zone around Brighton at the moment though! You don't need to be mega-exact where you put your location pin on Frapper!-*- Mk2 Turbo Rev2 -*- Mk1 NA -*- Mk2 Turbo Rev 3 = all gone!"Cruisey, Sporty, more innovation, more adult.

- like similar paranoia about people showing their number plates online: "Oh! Someone could hack the DVLA database and find out where my car is".

Indeed
(e.g. for them to go on a speeding spree and get your plate captured on all those cameras). Admittedly anyone could "steal" your numberplate if they see your car out and about but actually posting it on the web means a lot more people can see it and they don't even have to leave their house!Lunarmatic wrote:I've always thought that blocking your numberplate out when posting pictures was more a case of trying to reduce the chance of your plate being copied and used on another similar car belonging to someone else
Of course, the car would also have to have the same skirts/spats/spoiler/wheels/exhaust/stickers/lights as mine! -*- Mk2 Turbo Rev2 -*- Mk1 NA -*- Mk2 Turbo Rev 3 = all gone!"Cruisey, Sporty, more innovation, more adult. A Man In Dandism. Powered mid-ship specialty."
