Englishbulls Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 Someone pulled up next to me tonight when I was out in me Anglia van travelling from Brentwood to Ongar and started saying how quick it was and that he wanted one and then said I'm going to upload a photo to the spotted section of OSF but it doesn't have an area like that unless I'm going mad but it might be a good idea as I see a lovely mk2 Mexico the other night in Ongar??? Cheers Lee
Ray Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 TBH i would rather OSF didnt have a section like that, with all the thefts of today, you would just be advertising where the thieves might spot one to follow home and steal
Englishbulls Posted September 30, 2016 Author Report Posted September 30, 2016 Good point, shame. Though!!!
Admin Vista Posted September 30, 2016 Admin Report Posted September 30, 2016 We had a spotted room a number of years ago but did away with it for exactly the reasons Ray states. There were a few incidences of pictures being posted that fairly clearly showed where the car was parked.
Danish Posted October 1, 2016 Report Posted October 1, 2016 There were a few incidences of pictures being posted that fairly clearly showed where the car was parked. Especially with modern 'smart' phones including GPS location within the photo.
colr6 Posted October 1, 2016 Report Posted October 1, 2016 Think some of the earlier SPOTTED sections were cars seen in obscure places or left to rack and ruin. Like the pic of a mk1 RS in a field with trees growing through it !!
stephens_xpack Posted October 5, 2016 Report Posted October 5, 2016 Exactly, last thing you want is people posting up photos of your motor whilst outside your house. Not everyone has the sense not to. Call me paranoid, but I don't even like opening the garage door anymore. I hate thieves.
Monza Posted January 4, 2017 Report Posted January 4, 2017 My mk1 gt aint on the road yet ... but I hate thieves too. The mk1 cortina in pic was just up on the bay I think. Lunly looking motor. V original looking with a pinto

Call me paranoid, but I don't even like opening the garage door anymore. I hate thieves. Same here just spent 2 yrs building mine with door shut, and now thinking about getting home with anyone knowing where it lives. Shame owning a old ford has come to this.
crapichris Posted January 6, 2017 Report Posted January 6, 2017 Been followed back from a car show at least once or twice. Since then I have been very vigelent and have taken the long way home, you know left,left,left again . If they are still following I either get out and give them my best Sarfend hardman voice or I boot it and lose them.
aardvark101 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Posted January 6, 2017 If they want to follow me home they will have to keep up
mk2ratter Posted January 6, 2017 Report Posted January 6, 2017 If they want to follow me home they will have to keep up Not easy loosing someone in a RAV4 with a escort on a trailer
aardvark101 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Posted January 6, 2017 Lol have you tried putting the Rav on the trailer and giving it large with the Escort :)
mk2ratter Posted January 7, 2017 Report Posted January 7, 2017 Lol have you tried putting the Rav on the trailer and giving it large with the Escort :) Mmmmm must check blue book to see if there's anything against tow bars on rally cars 3ton of 4x4 on tow SIDEWAYS .... that would make an interesting spin
