    Especially considering the recent thefts, I'd be only be comfortable knowing my mechanic ISN'T posting photos of my car on the internet, potentially attracting the attention of thieves or other undesirables.

    I don't think it's smart publicising the cars that are in a workshop when it's so easy to find out where that workshop is and when it's unattended. Of course, for the mechanic it's great self promotion.

    Thoughts?

    Does this include posting photo of your own car on said mechanics account???
    Strange reverse question??

    BTW
    My answer is:- NO I wouldn't want my car photo on the account, and I also raised my concerns re this issue with said persons.

    I'm pretty sure it's ok for me to post a photo of my own car at a random property.

    Yeah, I guess you are more than entitled to advertise to thieves and potential undesirables where you service your car or whatever.

    Me, I really wasn't personally fussed by pics of my car in CJ's workshop. Man, if they could fix it, drive it out and enjoy it before I did, good luck to them.LOL

    If you weren't as thick as a plank, you'd have realised how wrong you are in your assumption.

    Oh Peter, don't you think I understood your intent-its spelt out very clearly in your opening salvo........just do you understand your own innate hypocrisy!

    It wouldn't take rocket science to work out where Carl's workshop is? Didn't you post some pics of highly collectible muscle cars? Was the owner aware and approve of them?

    Anyway, I got some nails to hammer into my head!

    What a fool you are jumping to conclusions.

    You show me any correlation to any photo I've posted and Carl's workshop location.

    And yes.....any photo I've posted of a car that isn't mine is done not only with the permission of the owner, but at the request!

    So do yourself a favour and STFU.

    From what you're posting, it's clear those nails won't hit anything.

    Any half wit such as myself (as continually assert) can ascertain CJ's location with a few phone calls or postings. Otherwise how in the hell would he get any new clients.

    So your telling me the owner of those cars requested you to post up the pics? If you say so!

    Of course I never posted a photo of your car without your permission, just in case you've forgotten.....but again, that's got nothing do with with this thread.

    Actually you did-you posted a video of my car when we first met at CJ's rented workshop in Richmond. Don't you remember?
