Nice picture of a Noble
Discussion
If you are going to post pictures of other peoples cars in a public forum at least have the common decency to remove or obscure a good portion of their number plate.
The above comment only adds to my opinion of you.

The argument about blanking number plates has been done a lot of times. Basically a criminal could locate the address of a car where it is registered. We don't want to make it any easier for car thieves, who are known to scroll through car websites looking for reg plates. It's not a big deal, just polite to blank out other peoples' plates

Red Renault Laguna RT Sport, Registered in your name on the 7th June 2002, Manafactured 31st December 1997.
Your in the Cheltenham area.
Your full names on your profile and it would take 10 mins to get a good idea of exactly where your car is using the phone book and the pic on your profile to give a good idea of the area. Any 'decent' crim specialising in nicking cars to order will have access to the PNC database anyway.
Tip of the day, change it!

Cool photo (why does it look like a toy 
) 
The number plate thing's a complete nonsense (pause to think about what happens every time you drive in public, tracking where a car is regularly parked is far more useful to toerags than spending time trawling the 'net to find cars and addresses) however, it's true to say that it's politer to blank plates

As for cars on the road, I can see some sense behind it, but not a lot. It's best to blank the plates anyway...

True, if it's someone else's car, blank the plate off. I can't see a thief going through all the hassle of finding where a particular car lives rathe rthan just walking around and nicking one. It's only the rare cars taht it's worth doing that for, but the rarity makes them ner impossible to sell on afterwards.

Not if their going overseas. Russia and Asia are prime markets for automotive exotica stolen in the UK
ws6, thanks for posting my first PH 'spotted'!
I was at Donnington to support some friends who were running two 1971 Lola's in the 2.45pm Historic Formula Ford race (they came nowhere but enjoyed the thrill!). I saw someone crouching down out of site at the front of the car at one point - I suspected either a well-posed photo (which it was!) or that they were stealing my front splitter - must have been you?! :-)
As an aside, for those of you who weren't there, you can imagine the superb cars that were present in the paddock yet I have to say that the Noble attracted at least as much attention as almost anything present - really! For most of the afternoon the average crowd was 4-6 people - it really is an impressive motor!
Anyway, back to the public/private debate: I have no problem with your posting my car and its number plate on this site (as you say you own the shot anyway) - if I wanted anonimity I'd be driving something, shall we say, softer! Maybe others would prefer to be asked for their permission first (but how do you find them to ask if they are not PH-ers?!).
Finally, referring back to the apparent distaste by others here for your initial posting of the char-grilled M12, I think you were right to bring it here but perhaps your only mistake was to call it 'a nice picture of a Noble' - it was a good action pic, I agree, but not 'nice' to us Noble owners, if you get the point!
Happy snapping!
Cheers.
PS - feel free to restore my number to its rightful place - I prefer it to an anonymous 'P' regger!!!

Index duly reinstated 
Looks like my "Great picture of a Noble" had the inevitable response - Perhaps I should have included some punctuation between "picture" and "of"
I was at Donnington supporting the 70s Road Sports. I usually have a wander around the paddock as there are some interesting finds. My last trip to Donnington turned up these two beauties.
And..... Anyone know what this is ???
See you on the 25th ?

Don't understand the plate blanking thing either. If its on track and you don't want the manufacturer to know then a) cover it up yourself b) zap the ECU because they'll be logging how many times you redline it etc. anyway.
On the road it seems pointless too as you can see the plates as the cars go by!
