    Just copy and paste the imgur image URL, and just change http to hxxp, then press ‘Submit’. We’ll do the conversion to make it readable.

    The car wasn't cloned, think about it, what is the likelihood of a cloned car with the same VRN being in the same car park at the same time (zero!). Very odd, show us.

    I’m not aware of a specific number, but I think there are a couple of parameters that need to be satisfied - posts and length of time on the forum. From seeing other newbies ‘graduate’ it’s around 15-20 posts and a couple of weeks - or thereabouts.

    Just thought, PE could trace that. Should I remove other identifying details?

    @OP - you do realise that one shot is of the front of the car, the other of the rear.

    I can’t tell whether the rear shot is of the back end of the particular model shown from the front. Can you confirm that it’s not?
