Omega Register/List
« on: 27 March 2014, 21:45:52 »
I have my anorak on.
I frequent a couple of other car club forums and they all have a register or list of member's cars (Chassis/engine/reg no.'s etc).  I know a lot of Omegas were produced but does such a list exist and if it doesn't should it?  I admit to having a bit of a (victorian) obsession with lists which perhaps goes back to my childhood car spotting and number collecting. Was I a sad and lonely kid?
What do you think?  Are there any other anoraks on here?

I hear that all the time.  But don't accept it Zirk. No addresses. In fact no names just forum titles. Wheres the harm.
Get your anorak on.

Where is the harm?  :o

A list of chassis numbers and reg? In a nice easy to loose list.

No thanks  :y

It would just make it easier for someone to use your reg. and clock up speeding/parking tickets or commit crimes that get traced back to you...causing a lot of unnecessary headache IMO. For that alone I would advocate it is a non starter (unfortunate for those who have genuine interest in lists etc..)
Out of interest which forums have these lists on?

Tunnie/Radar

Interesting replies and I respect but don't share your opinions.

If I post my chassis, engine, reg numbers how exactly will that be 'used' as suggested?

A quick digest of the chassis number and/reg in the wrong database would result in security/key/radio codes etc being released, and you can request registered keeper details from the dvla...

Doesn't take a genius to add that together :-\

Sorry but I am still not convinced and think you are paranoid. However I will wait until the Shiraz has dissipated before answering more fully.

As many posters deliberately obscure the registration plate on any photo's they upload, simply to reduce the chance of "cloning", then putting up that info, along with chassis numbers etc etc. is pretty much doomed to failure IMHO...

Whilst I don't obscure photo's - I believe there is a much chance of a "cloner" seeing a car "in the flesh" and noting the number - I totally understand that point of view... I certainly would not add my information and make it even easier for some of the "chancers" on t'web to clone my details.

It's an idea, but not one I will partake in, however, you may find others more willing than I .. :)

I'm a member of the TR Register, who hold that sort of information on members cars - its held securely though and certainly not available on the internet.  Agree not the sort of info you want to make available to all and sundry ::)
