predators owners club does it not exist at the-pred.co.uk?

[HVAC25000]

I didn't see a list of who owns one on there, did you? and there are about 20 times the posts on oOple as there are on the-pred, maybe more.. almost no one uses that website anymore... Everyone is on here. Most of the categories on there haven't had a post in over a month, some months.

If you hadn't noticed, even Yanina is only updating on here, and nothing at all on the-pred.

oOple is just easier.

[spenner]

The Pred website as far as im aware, will be updated very soon as Team Xtreme now own the site!!

The guys at Team X are really busy at moment so it is one thing at a time i guess.... not saying the above is a bad idea, just don't want anyone thinking The Pred website is finished.

Name: Ludo De Greef
Location: Dworp, Belgium
oOple: Lowie
Cars: B4, Pred X10 (and then also some touring stuff)
Team driver: nope, (not yet )


about stolen stuff:

HVAC25000: yes, correct. It is rather difficult to find someones address only from the little data we give here. You made your point. Don't need do go on about it half a page.
... but don't be fooled: it CAN be done!
Just by combining information found here and elsewhere on the net ...
so better safe then sorry. Checkered Flag Racing has a point. Everybody is now warned that you shouldn't give too many details.


[edit]
as an example: HVAC25000, I allready know, 5 minutes of research, your name, where you are supposed to live (town), your birthday ... WIth some more time, It woult certainly be possible to find your address.
On the other hand, I didn't needed the info you posted here, found it allready elsewhere.

Team Driver: Yep

Going off Glens comment, at the end of the day if someone wants your stuff all they've got to do is follow you home from racing etc, does that mean we should all stop.

Yes it's not good when someone gets broken into and stuff half inched, but it happens every day to others.

I'll opt out due to Lee Farrar's recent loss of rc kit in the UK

posting your home address & or phone #'s on a public forum is asking for trouble


JIMMY: Thanks for that slightly paranoid input Glenn, but the suggestion (albeit subtle) that an 'oople' forum member somehow found out Lee's home adress and chose to rob him is ludicrous. If this is what you REALLY think then fair enough - I wholly 101% think you are wrong.

Umm, wow, congrats on not making any sense... Andy had no problem understanding that location doesn't mean your address and phone number... I guess that's why he's a team driver. Incase you didn't notice, you're the ONLY one who said anything about addresses and phone numbers, you paranoid sod. Sheesh.

I put San Diego. Do you know my home address now? Are you like some kind of super psychic that can just see the city that someone lives in and know where their house is?

Half the people on here know I live in San Diego (it says it up in the right hand corner of ALL my posts), and half the people on rctech.com know as well, which must be hundreds, even thousands, of people, maybe more. I haven't lost anything yet, though. Andy put York. I still have NO idea where he lives. Unless there are like 10 houses in York, it would be very hard to find him.

Paranoia must be fun. I've always wanted to be, but never had the energy.

I still don't know what "loss of rc kit" is. I assume you mean he "got robbed", as we say in English.

I know a lot of people that have been robbed, only 1 of them had r/c cars stolen from him. His stereo was also stolen. I suppose those were the masterful "car stereo and r/c car theives" that lurk on carstereoandrccarforum.com, because clearly all crimes are well throught out, and there's no chance that the theives just grabbed whatever they could, even if they didn't know what it was. He was robbed while at work, in broad daylight, by the way, not while at home.

I guess this was a bad idea, no one seems to understand it besides the team driver and myself, despite how ridiculously simple it is. Bit of a shame, it would have been neat.





If we want the-pred used instead of oople, then this section of the forum should be locked and a sticky should be posted directing people to the-pred. A decision has to be made so people like Lowie on the-pred, don't ask questions that go unanswered because no one is on the-pred. When I ask something on here, it gets answered immediately.

This website has everything the-pred has, though, except it has a LOT more people, predator owners and others, which helps with selling and trading items, as well as, and this is my main issue, it's a pain to keep track of 2 forums since nearly every person on here has more than 1 car, or, if you're like me, half a dozen. oOple caters to everything, including the Tpred. the-pred caters to preds and nothing else and really has no advantages over this forum. There are too few posts about preds to warrant having 45 different sections like the-pred does. My post about lipos and the one about northy have stayed at the top of this forum since they were posted since they're the ONLY things going on.

Either way is fine, I'm just pointing out why oOple is easier and less work. If the-pred becomes a happening place again like it was a year or more ago, then I'm all for it, but it is by all means dead right now. We need to get all the team drivers on there for support. Kev, Andy, Northy, Jeff, and whoever else.

I just found out that Chequered lives in the UK, most likely near Teeside. I hope he doesn't lose all his rc kit now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

btw, if anyone wants my home address and phone number, just ask. i'll give it to pretty much anyone. you can call up and we'll have a good chat, or if you make it to SD you can come drive on the track in my backyard! Bring your pred!

Dude, its very easy to find out someones address in the uk

If you know the surname and their rough location then you can find their address very easily by going through the electoral role.

I would hate to think that anyone from oople would nick my stuff but it was definateley someone in the racing game, they left a box of tyres from the euros and wraggy`s stuff from the euros as it is useless in the UK. they also left bags of wheels and inserts but took built ones.

Like i said i hate the thought of it being someone i know but its either that or these theives are really doing their research these days


Oh and i have an X5 and X6

[spenner]

Lee, i understand that losing your stuff isn't great... but it happens to most at some point in their lives. I lost mine couple of years back along with lot of other things... to say it is someone in the Racing game is a very broad statement!!!

I'm not saying it isn't but... just because a bag of wheels and tyres where left doesn't make it somone that races.. I'm pretty sure tyres look valuable to a trained thief ???

All i am saying is if people wish to put there details on here then thats up to them, you still have to find an address, get in your house and find your racing gear !!!! I'm not sure it is worth the hassle really...

As the reason this thread was done isn't anything to do with stolen gear etc can it not be trimmed so people who do wish to use/read it can do so without the pointless emails about adding which town or city you live in. Make a new thread for this if you wish to tell everyone to stay off the internet... if not make sure your insured

Not digging at anyone, but every thread on here seems to have irrelevant posts....

please to see that you support the pred and as for it being dead i disagree these guys are alive as a team andjust by getting drivers like andy northy and kev and james and nathan is a great example that the pred is alive and kicking ass ,i ran nathan s pred in the coventry 4wd yesterday and all i can say is after trying other 4wd all year and not being happy it was the pred that came out and rocked in every way team extreme rule keep it up guys
