Is it not possible to print some "OOF" laminated numberplates out for the guys that go to the meets.  They could easily be held on with DS tape, maskining tape etc.

If they could be made cheap enough I would be after a set to put on my cars before taking pictures.


Bloody Good Idea that!!  :y :y

Yeah but by having you Number plate on a public forum must increase the chance of being cloned ten fold!! And everyone knows that criminals are using Autotrader etc. to clone cars, but people are getting wise and blanking them off so they are gonna be looking for easy pray. Public Forums!!!

Agreed, i always blank mine out, but i have no control over Hazzy & his camera :( at the local meet. If someone wants to do some thing dodgey with say a black Omega then they could pop to the OOF & find mine or someone elses >:(

I think Skruntie's idea is a good one, just remember to remove them before driving home :D

To my knowledge, around these parts if someone wants to use your registration for something dodgy they just remove your plates for the car they are doing the job in!! ::) ::) ::)

With the billions of pictures there are of our cars and many others I just wouldn't let it bother us that our plates can be visible, as already said they can be noted by anyone, at any time, and anywhere when your car is not locked safely up in a garage!! :D :D :D ;)

This is true, it can happen anywere. But whats easier for a criminal? Go out driving around all day looking for a particular car in the right colour etc. or sit at home and search the net looking for public forums were people post pics of their pride and joy! easy pickings if you ask me. And like I said before its not stopping the risk or cloning completely just reducing the chances of it happening to us.

Better safe than sorry.

I really think the stick on plate is a fantastic idea, I'd even be happy to design the thing.  :y

why not just bother to go onto paint/photoshop and write "OOF" on it instead, im sure most people have access to paint or photoshop :y

The problem is there are to many cars at meets to do this, it would take ages, there could be 15+ cars in one photo and there would be multiple photos to do.  :'(

How about an Estate outline good design for oof though.
Agree that it is easier to trawl the net for plate No`s but they can be just as easily cloned from the street.

Would all 3 colours. White, yellow and black back grounds fit side by side on maybe an A2 sheet..

If they do, then decide on what they would be best printed on.  Then maybe anyone that has a nearby printers might be able to get a price for printing and then the same inc laminating.

There is a place in Rotherham on Rawmarsh hill that used to be good on priceing but I cant remember his name.

We know that they can be easlily cloned off the street, there is nothing we can do about it, but this is just a risk reduction excersise!

Although this is in no way an official OOF thing, but keeping to one of our standard logos (ie, one at top of forum, or the saloon one you did earlier) would help to reinforce the brand, rather than lots of different logos?
