Ever wanted to contact a stranger seen in a car? Well, now it can be done!

Owned and operated by Webcraft Computer Services Ltd, a Gloucestershire-based company, http://www.txt2reg.com offers car owners the opportunity to text each other using just their car registration numbers, and without the need to know the car owner's mobile phone number. Not whist driving I hope!

Apparently thousands of people 'almost meet' every day exchanging glances and smiles in traffic jams or at the traffic lights. Now they have an opportunity to contact each other by simply sending a text to a car registration number.

According to the blurb, the messaging service will appeal particularly to young single people who may have many encounters whilst driving around. It is designed to be a bit of fun and can also satisfy curiosity - did anyone see me in my car and have they tried to contact me?

People can register their car registration number, which is then linked to their mobile phone number. Text messages sent to their car registration number are then forwarded to their mobile.

Nick Anderson comments: "Privacy is protected as mobile phone numbers are not divulged and the service can be terminated at any time."

I guess it beats Internet dating!
