It's already in the public domain if you are driving it.
I think it's different if its a photo taken in someone's home or at a business and they probably should be obscured unless you have permission otherwise.

 

I'm not saying it's a legal issue, copyright belongs to whoever took the photo, not the subject (or the owner thereof).

 

I'm just saying it would be the courteous thing to do, if you appreciate their work, why not respect their privacy as well?

As above, I'm for both comments.
Fair enough the car is out around town for anyone & everyone to look at & recognise but maybe just the right thing to do blocking out the plate - albeit for this little community, to show you're doing the right thing by others.
I'll wipe away the tears now...

[StephenSLR]

wouldn't it be common courtesy to obscure the number plate?

 

It used to happen here more often and it was discussed years ago nobody really gave a hoot and less people are doing it now

 

 

any NSW car, you can jump on the net and find out lots about a car, rego expiry date, insurance company, if it has been engineered or anything and the last 4digits o the vin

 

Really?  I thought the privacy act stopped all that. I remember bitd you could go to the RTA, pay $7 and get the owner's address. It was meant to be used in the case of accidents, etc. but they outlawed the practice; my guess is too many were using it for stalking.

 

 

anyone who works for a registration authority, police, waterways, fisheries, EPA, councils, insurance companies can run a check and get all the info on the car, the owner, the garaging address

 

Only my insurance co. has my garage postcode and it's not the same as my address so thieves may end up breaking in my garage to find the wrong car. Cops, etc. would only be able to trace it to my home address but if you have a friend with access to an insurance co. database; there's no point giving them no. plate details; once in the database it's easier for them to run a filter on Torana, they can then filter it further for model, engine capacity, etc. Then they just pick the cars that are insured for the highest value.

Just spotted a green one on fire on channel seven news Brisbane.

That sucks balls, hopefully all that fire was mostly contained to the non torana.

Spotted this beast in Woodvale today.

 

Looked and sounded fantastic.

 

It looked familiar, this is a pic I took at Cars and Coffee last year.

If I remember correctly it is a 9/72 XU1

 

Also I think one of those shadows may be a famous member of this forum lol.

 

Very nice car.

[Redslur]

Wow, very different. Wonder if that is Juniper in colour??  Quite nice really.

Very nice car.

I'm amazed at how many Acacia Ridge built GTR's and XU1's are turning up in WA.

Nice light blue 4 door LH/LX in Dandenong yesterday. Looked freshly restored and looked and sounded grouse. BLU SLR

My LJ two-door back in the day, with 245 Goodriches on the back was lethal in the rain. LSD banjo didn't help and when the 13-in chromies started spinning, you were a passenger. Good fun as a 19-year-old.

Every car with Radial T/A's was lethal in the wet.

At first glance I thought it had damage to the LHS boot and tail......Dam rain drops deceiving my eyes for a second. Lol

[mika03au]

Hope it made it home before the flooding in the area.

That number plate 355 GTR looks a bit strange? Photoshopped perhaps?

[S pack]

Thanks Adam, must be the digital zoom that made the plate look strange. I was thinking maybe the plate was a fake and I didn't want to say that out loud hence the photoshop comment.

 

Cheers
