Sorry mate its that Geordie slang weaning its way back into my texts... "Ringer" is a term used to describe a vehicle that has had its identity changed the example (especially here in Newcastle) would be a team would find a write off car they then take the vins glass and reg plates off, they then go out and steel a car identical to the write off that they have taken the plates from.... then swap the glass the plates and reg..... then sell it... or use it for a bank job etc etc.
Shaun has touched on this with the landrovers i can tell you its rife ! mainly folk who want to avoid road tax.....same with Mini's this goes back to my comments of Georges thread regarding repro data plates.
Phil i dont think anyone has taken offence at your comments and the points you raised are certainly valid ones... as it has been stated perhaps another thread on this very subject would be best. Once again though Ben great work on the quality of the pintle mounts needless to say i will want a full set + machined (i want to be able to pop them straight onto my new armour)
