    Twin cars are available from Russian circles amongst others in Ireland Ive been told. A Lithuanian told me he would never buy a car from a Lithuanian a few weeks back!

    Twin cars, Ive over heard some discussing this. One car is legit and another is robbed that looks identical/colour/make/year

    On offer upfront - They are cheap to buy and if a cop runs a plate it does indeed look like whats on file as its the same number plate. They can be bought complete with dodgy NCT / and whatever other documentation you need included dodgy insurance cert. Cops sometimes use UV lamp to ID dodgy documentation.

    Bought accidentally - Im sure buyers have been duped by a show and swap as well. You view one car and then before the final deal
    you are distracted and another is put in its place or delivered to you.

    Sometimes the legit owner gets speeding fines for places he was never in and can prove it to the police.

    I was due to meet a person tomorrow 200 miles from here, an ex cossack dancer he said (I was guarded as I had been warned weeks back about shady deals) and everything checked out except when I asked for the Vehicle License Cert number tonight, he was suddenly called back to his country for a few days.

    www.motorcheck.ie your only man. You will need the Vehicles VIN / Owners cert number / NCT ref number.

    Well anyone buying a car privately without checking the VIN and reg cert details match deserves to be ripped off.
