Ian_C Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I was at Lotties' last night remember. Seriously though, whilst I could theoretically 'help out' a fellow Tyresmoker with the address of someone who has cut him or her up (example) this would indeed be pure abuse of the insurance database. As far as I know, this insurance information is not available via the internet. Basic DVLA car checks however are available via the AA and RAC websites to name but two examples. These give a 'first glance' of the dvla match. More detailed checks that give engine type, gearbox, original body colour, trim specification level, chassis number, build year, date of registration, date of change of last owner, number of owners etc etc are freely available on the web. They might well be aimed at the trade, but they are open for Joe Public to access. As suggested above, #892677, I would advise anyone buying a second hand car who doesn't want to pay £40 for a HPI to at least do these free checks. It confirms the chassis number and colour for starters. Edit. Without wishing to ironically unstick the person in question for reasons exactly as Daz mentions, Tyresmoke has its very own HPI resident, so you don't need to pay for a proper data check anyway!

Mollox Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 I think its safe to say that isn't an RS4. It is probably faster than Daz's old S4 cab though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Am I the only person who quite likes it? Edited to add: Sorry, typo - what that should have read is "Am I the only person who wants to find the person who first of all bought a car in that colour and then abused it so appallingly so I can beat their spleen out with no more than a rotting haddock?"

Tarmac_Terrorist Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 How would they ever sell it onwards? Worthless in my opinion unless broken down for parts (preferably the parts you can't see!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venomous Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Well, now you see why I was at a total loss when I saw this... Let's say the driving, reflected the taste of the vehicle. Many thanks for the detective work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliAUDI Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 that is so wrong. I can't believe that anyone would want to do that to a cab.. such idiots! i thought these types of scrotters were stuck with nova sr's, and astras....that is a real shame...!

Venomous Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 The irony is that it looks quite expensive in the flesh... It's just such a shame that someone did this to a perfectly good Audi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pritesh Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 the fact that it has a tow bar suggests its a TDI. This car has popped up a fair few times on TSN now...its been seen up and down the country... total waste of a fantastic car...god only knows what the owner was thinking when he/she did all that custom work...if you can even call it custom work.

P_G Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 [ QUOTE ] I think the STI bonnet vent really... er... finishes it off. [/ QUOTE ] I think we should 'finish off' the owner for doing that to a decent car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I'm sure he'll do that of his own accord soon enough. Well, there's always hope. I wonder if the four rings down the side are meant to make it look like it's chained to the ground, as a way of explaining why it's so feckin slow for an "RS4"...

P_G Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I just can't get round how someone thought 'Ooo, I know what will look good, metallic coloured paint, a non OEM spoiler, bonnet scoop and massive non Audi decals along the sides. That would perfect the design' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
