It's a bit a fun where you can tweet cars (use the registration number/licence plate in a hashtag) and if the car's owner has a twitter account then they'll be informed. Great for the the "hey. You've left your lights on!" kinda things. If the owner is not on twitter then it'll post the tweet on the howdy homepage anyway.

 The app is not as polished as I'd like, not a long way in truth. but I've found from bitter previous experience that, left up to me, projects will never leave the early phases (remember planetdetails.com anyone? Nope...). I decided a different tack with howdycar.com - release it early and if people find it useful then enhance/polish etc - kinda Darwinian I suppose!

 As I say, it's just a bit of fun but I think it does help highlight how twitter can involve itself in everyday lives and can help us interact with old habits/objects in new ways (in this case our cars).

 Please feel free to have a play with it and let me have your comments/suggestions.
