    Did it with the "images" tab checked and this is what I got.

    Yes...that is my car but I didn't post the picture.

    Interesting how the web found it!!!! but can't find who posted it.

    Maybe some other owners can Google their license plates and see what pops up??

    Enjoy.

    Wow, never thought of doing that. When I do a search of mine only pictures of Jay Kay from Jamiroquai show up. That's a good thing.

    I googled my last plate and got a hex color code that pretty much matches the car. Too funny.

    When I Google "Ferrari Mondial T" my car shows up on the 2nd picture of the first row, a picture I posted here a few years ago. But it is not the Fchat web site, it's a web site I've never heard of.

    When I did, the very first photo is the only one with my car in it, at an event a few years ago, and the license plate doesn't even appear. All the other photos are of other cars at local car shows; a few of the photos are ones I took (some quite a long time ago), but most are not. How these got associated with my plate number is a mystery.

    It looks like MotorsTown.com is a free site, pulling photos and information off of other Websites, in an attempt to become some kind of automotive encyclopedia. Odds are, it's someone who's also a member here, or the original name you gave the image showed up in a search by someone who runs/works for that Website.

    Both cars, a Ghia-Aigle-bodied 212 Inter (0137 E) and an F40 (88621), are in New Zealand, and have been, for quite some time.

    Interesting. I tried replicating your search, but couldn't find the relevant image - in fact, I didn't find pictures of any Ferraris. Can you post a link to where this image appears? If you've ever taken a digital picture of your car, and the picture file name mirrors that of your plate, and then you posted it somewhere, then that's how it shows up in your search. The rule of thumb is, once you post something on the Internet, it's there forever.

    As I said in the original post "I didn't take the photo"

    I have NO photos of my car with the brake lights on.

    Just Google it with no spaces... "my4ree". I just did it.

    This time the avatar from FerrariChat also showed up!!!!

    That's a little scary that the image tag picked up the exact plate and your car. Yikes!

    On the plus side, looks like a proper spot ;)

    One reason I force users to be registered and activated to see images, search engines and guests can't pull images from FerrariChat. If you are the copyright holder of image, you can send a formal takedown request to who is hosting if you don't want it. If they don't take down, you can sue.
