Only for keyless entry keys?

This aint new news unfortunately..

Nowt to do with darkweb either really. But it does make the story jucier.

Did the 'Mailonline' contributor / journalist just watch the BBC1 program last week and then write an article the Metro then published.

If they listened to the program they would have heard that not a Dark Web thing, 

just google will get you the 'how to', and the equipment required.

Dark Web - headline grabbing words

Google search - boring

 

I read the headline of this thread and thought it meant that a BMW stolen in the 1960s had been found for sale on the Dark Web!

My 1973 Red 2002 is on the road again, odd since i know for a fact it was scrapped.

 

Ringers driving about on the UK roads as cars become classics and the not dark web but a well known auction site assists in selling 'VIN/ Ringing kits'.

The dark web does make everything sound waay more nefarious and spooky than it really is though

 

Like how talking about cloud services make everything seem effortless and constant and compact. When really its just a bloody server farm somewhere..

Me too. Wondering if it was something really exotic like a 507 roadster.
