Stumbled across this tonight while searching Ebay;
Landrover Discovery Series 2 11 2002 2004 Xrox Comp Bull BAR Washer Bottle in Rothwell, QLD | eBay
This seller has taken one of my build thread photos straight from Aulro and used it in their Ebay add.
Should I be annoyed?
I think I will give them a call tomorrow.

Bloody right you should be annoyed.
Could have at least contacted you to ask if he could use the photo
Wizard
Nope, nobody contacted me.
I was searching eBay and saw the photo of my D2...

Maybe you should check the pick-up address on the ad in case it's your house. Checked if your bullbar is still there?

SupporterIf you google "Pics Discovery 2" your pic is in there, so maybe lifted from Google.

Yeah I imagine they just got it from Google. Some sections of the forum are public and can be found via Google searches.
I tend to think that taking stuff like that from the Internet is generally OK for personal use, but if they're making money from it, then it becomes a bit different.

That said those guys do make some nice gear. Mate had some sliders made up for himself and they did excellent work.

Annoyed because it's your pic not so much.
Annoyed because it's a pic of your house and displays your rego, more so.

He turned out to be a nice guy, actually, and asked me if he still could use the pic, which I agreed to. He even invited me to visit him, if I ever would pass through his neck of the woods. Several years later I took on his offer as I was traveling by (he lives abroad). We were given a warm welcome, food and beverages and staying were on him. Made another friend... We are still in touch and he is due to repay the visit somewhen soon.
My advice: don't get angry, drop that chap a mail. He might have good explanation why he just chose your truck and, who knows, you may meet a new friend?

There are people who spend all weekend cleaning the car.
And there are people who drive Discovery.
