As someone that likes to keep a good history folder of invoices, receipts etc on my cars, this website www.getpatina.com appeals.

You can upload invoices, photos etc to build up your car's record and keep it all online. There's some cool features like being able to transfer your online record to a new owner if you sell the car and also to get invoices that you upload verified by the company that carried out the work.

Seems like an interesting idea so I've signed up and will give it a go. Anyone else?

Looks great, but regardless of what they say - this is never nice to see on a website with tones of really unique user generated content...

"10. Your Copyright

(This is the really important one! Any content and media you submit is owned by you. Any content that you submit and make public we have to state a lot of legal jargon that sounds like we could be trying to steal it. We’re not, we promise, but we have a very simple challenge - from time to time we use screenshots and videos of the app in our advertising and that may contain your public images, therefore we need the rights to be able to take screenshots of our own platform!)

Any content submitted by you will be owned by you.

Wouldn't put me off using it though... I don't think.

It states there that they can do all that to images that you make public.  If you're uncomfortable with that, there is a tab to make it for private viewing.  I've done this with all bar 1 of mine, which is like my signature image.
