Default Members near Blackburn, could you keep a look out please?

A member on one of the facebook pages posted a comment on a pic of my ZT saying that he spotted it on the M65 Shadsworth exit last week as he recognised my reg plate R19KMG.

However, it definitely wasn't me as my car was down in Essex last week and it's never been further north than Birmingham whilst I've owned it. The ZT he saw didn't have quad exhausts either so definitely wasn't mine he saw.

Not really worried, probably just another ZT with a similar reg plate, but just in case anyone does spot it in that area could they let me know please?

Cheers,
Rick

I'd phone the Police to report what you've been told, It's highly likely you could have been duplicated and, you are now helping an uninsured driver avoid the law...If it is a dupe, you are doing the rest of us a favour and maybe it will stop a lot of heartache. You might get pulled over but that's no hardship.

Thanks Phil No need to go out looking for it, just put this thread out in case someone does see it on their travels. If it is a clone it may have just been passing through that area on that day and could be from a completely different area.

Just waiting for the chap who thinks he saw my car to confirm if he's 100% sure it's the same reg first. He says it was the same colour as mine too. Seems like a awful lot of trouble to find a car the same as mine and then clone the plate if he's up to no good.

There's a lot of private plates available for sale starting in R19, so might just be a similar reg. A local member down here in the south east has a similar plate to mine on a MKII ZT starting in R19.
