Guys & Gals,

I have noticed that a few of you are using your full names when posting (or in your E-Mail addresses) and also giving fairly detailed info about where you live. There are certain websites that anyone can access which if you put in someone's name and an area where they live (Manchester for example) you can easily track down their exact street address (including a map to their door). They use the electoral register to do this. Seeing as some of you also post info on the specs of your cars, including security, I would suggest altering your profiles so that where you live is not shown.

If you already know this I apologise, I just don't want to see any of your cars getting nicked as I know how it feels.

Rich me old mate,

I was very careful with your baby, great car mate but I would get rid of the Possum though . You nearly converted me just for the looks let alone the grip (In Ya Face)

Harj...

Tis a good point, and exactly why I removed the town from the 'location' item that you now see next to your posting.

Also is the other reason why I have the hotmail address instead of my 'real' address, but if you're clever (or devious!) you could work out what it is.
Oh, I say 'real' as 'real' is my work account, and I've got enough spam coming to it at the moment thank you very much!

To be honest, my car is pretty noticable, and AFAIK there is only one of my type and color in my town, thus it's easy to trace anyway.
