Mark Lynham Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Don't know if i get told off for this but just saw.. JB 007 on old DB5 (i think) - that has got to be worth some serious money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Cool! I think posting random number plates is fine, after all the plate is already out there in the public domain on the back of mateys car for all to see! Its linking plates with forum members that is a bit of a no no as a lot of people like to keep their privacy (which is fair enough). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCab Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Thing about number plates is, I personally think it's sort of rude and an invasion of privacy to post random number plates AND (say) location details (which Mark didn't). If I was nothing to do with TSN and was tootling along minding my own business, I might be a bit hacked off if my boss, my wife, or just any old bystander could put my number plate on Google 10 years later and find a dated comment saying "spotted on the A505 just out of Royston at 11.30am yesterday: nice red Ferrari, BIG EGO 1, some lucky geezer with a great looking blonde next to him" and I ended up getting sacked or divorced over it because I was supposed to be at a conference. You may say "well that's your fault" but even so, I don't think it's up to us to breach someone's privacy in longlasting, archived, searchable form on the Internet just because we fancy their car or number plate for a second or two. Mark's post was pretty blameless in this regard though, I have to say, because he was just writing about the plate and didn't pin it down anywhere.

Ian_C Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Well said and debated here during summer 2004. <font color="#666666">Please nobody bother dig it up to have another stir as TSN will just lock. Just leave it nice and chronologically placed in the archive...</font> Ian C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Hmm... if you're up to no good and get caught and then blame the method by which you got rumbled then who's really to blame? Thing is, pick up the paper and there's a photo of Jordon getting out of her car, do they blank the number platres of the other cars that might happen to be in the picture? What about the news when they're reporting on (say) a big accident on the motorway and there's shots of queues of cars, are they blanking the plates? Do they know who's wife or boss is watching...? The cars are out there, the plates are out there. I can say I saw ABC1 on a Ferrari Modena in Knightsbridge, but a thousand other people will have seen ABC1 on the same Ferrari in the same place and have the same knowledge. I personally really don't have a problem with people mentioning interesting number plates or cars, its no secret that they are on the road they are on when they are on it to every other car or person on the same road at the same time. The problem comes when it is someone known on the forum. You wouldn't want me saying "I saw "GC4B on a silver A4 Cabrio today" and you or someone else saying "oh, thats Gcabs car", then in 2 weeks you mention you're off to Florida, and some clever sod manages through devious means to get your address from the plate knowing you are away. Thats where the "don't post full numbers" idea comes from. As I say, saying "ABC1 spotted today" is really no different from it appearing driving up the road as the BBC are filming a piece about a robbery in Knightsbridge and it being broadcast across the whole of the UK on the evening news.

Andrew Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I saw it once broken down on the M4 a long way from where he lived. Given that it must have been James Bond that owned it I didn't stop to offer him a lift as I'm sure Q would have had something up his sleeve to get 007 home ...

Rich_Bee Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I've just seen a DB9 with V12 007 as the plate at La Maison whilst at lunch today Probably the only time I'll ever eat there so to see that and have a chat with Raymond Blanc as well was pretty good I'm sure it's beeen spotted before but I can't find it on search...
