I just hope that whoever you sell the car to (if they're not a member here) notices and doesn't find out afterwards that they've been screwed over. There's no reason for you to wind it back 20k.

I don't really see the funny side to ripping people off regardless of whether they're members of this club or not.

Not trying to be offensive here but are you're mates really that silly to believe that you're car has just magically dropped 20k when they obviously know what its got on the clock right now?
There are genuine reasons to change the clocks on a car but you're is not one of them, Just leave them alone unless you're planning to sell the car then by all means "scam" away
