More than the Flash / techno thing, registration is very wrong for their
market....the affluent do NOT like registering their contact details,
especially in a way which identifies them as Jag-buying income bracket. I
don't know if anyone's done a study of ex-directory phone number by income,
but I reckon I could sketch the graph they'd get. Anyone in the Jag market
gets enough unsolicted crap as it is just because of their postcodes. (Where
I live we just get lots of offers for unsecured loans and cheque-cashing
services and 6 for 4 offers at the offy... )

Having to register won't stop anyone buying a jag, mind...just stop them
using the site. My feeling is the site is at least partly intended to
impress the media / editorial writers who love Flash and feel-good and
buzziness and aren't really worried about the transmission 'cos they're not
going to buy the car, just write about it.
