Think I've passed this one on the Darlington by-pass.

Didn't respond to my advances either.

I've seen a post like this somewhere else 8) :? :lol:

I'm sure I've seen F747 on the A66 heading out of 'Boro/Stockton/Yram area on a few occasions - usually when I'm on the way in to work. His road tax is due on 1st April and the car was first registered in 1989 (looooove that online vehicle check :twisted: )

Ditto to what Gavin says I'm amazed you can trace an owner via registration in UK. No way known could you do that in Oz (unless you know somone in the force).

That's the one Dave. I've got into the habit of using it to check that the car I spotted was what I actually thought it was, especially the ones at night - some Pugs look awfully like Elises :?

The real reason it exists is because of all the vehicle "cloning" that goes on. With a simple free check, a buyer can make sure that the registration at least matches the vehicle make and gets some additional basic data so they can check the paperwork.
