1SickNickel's car in ads.

[Operator]

Anyone know if he cares, that ebay sellers, are using his car in their auctions and ads. Duraflex to be specific. Also if you know of other sellers, using members cars in ads, post it up, just in case they don't want their car used by sellers, they may not back.

Examples:

THEY EVEN WATERMARK IT!

Not sure who's car this is, but Eurogear uses the pic too:

I don't believe he owns the car anymore, or that it looks like that

Also the wheels on that silver car...

I know he moved onto a Evo, just more so, someone took his photos, and is using them as if they took them.

[drumnjuny]

he should sue

[Mc Suly]

it's the internet whatever goes lol

or even dare to enter the real internet

deep web. . .

I'm not sure if it's always been Durafelx, but many companies have been using his B7 Avant to advertise their DTM kits for quite a while now.

But he was OEM DTM correct? Isn't that almost false advertisement as they are selling replicas? And like I said, it's crazy that they put their watermark on it, like they took the picture?!?

[Schweini]

He should feel honoured heh.. at any rate, as soon as you upload a pic to the interwebs, you pretty much throw out any disclaimers and it's free game from there

I agree, they shouldn't be advertising OEM DTM when it's a replica.

I'd email them, along with a couple other pictures from the same set, to prove you took the photos. And from there who knows. But legally I find it hard to believe, they can use someone else's photos as theirs especially if the owner of the photos didn't actually use their products. And did I mention, I find it crazy Duraflex added a watermark to a photo that they didn't even take, on a car that wasn't theirs, that had a kit they don't actually sell.

After searching I found what the actual dura flex kits look like... :-/ not even close, from 20ft sure but the lines look really cartoony and cheap :-( too bad

If he had the pictures taken professionally and has a release for his personal use, then the photographer could sue the company. Wouldn't that be nice...

True true I will lets. See what happens. No need for other pics from set I will just ask them nicely to read the plate number to me hahaha. Yea makes no sense but who knows nowadays everything has a loop hole.

I truly don't see the honor in that in anyway.

Recently found out that oregonaudi is the one the purchased 1SN's car. Wheels are different, and so are the headlights, but the rest is pretty much the same.

Didnt know that he had two different types of wheels on his car! Left:right
