LONG drive (by my standards) tomorrow. 572 miles, should be a good run-out for the LS. I don't anticipate doing an R129 or BolideMichael speed-run, but I plan to at least make some progress. Gonna be a long day, but the Cairngorms await

Get that speed limiter tested! I checked my 430's (reassuring to know it's there for safety's sake).

We'll see, I doubt I'll be doing that sort of speed though, the fear of losing my licence is too high these days!

You can't lose it North of the border, just tell them you know r129sl and you'll be on your way.

What did I miss? I don't think I've ever seen anything even approaching abuse in this thread.

You didn’t miss anything.

Apart from the slow hiss of air dribbling out the fun balloon.

I could believe a picture like that would get you banned.

My high speed dash through Germany today involved at least one camera flash and one traffic jam ('stau') that satnav gleefully informed me would add 3 hours to the journey as the A8 was 'impassable'. Being the renegade outlaw that I am, I turned off the motorway through a 'no access' woodsman's track and followed a bunch of Germans through the woods to clear village roads. Result.

At my hotel I have discovered the most amazing vending machine which cleverly dispenses cold beer bottles in exchange for a mere €2.50. Its the most impressive thing I think I have ever seen.

Sounds like a great trip!

In 2007 my first experience of Belgium as a 17 year old was discovering that just about every train station platform had a vending machine which gave you an ice cold can of Jupiler for €1. I almost missed my trains.

Does anyone know what happened to Ian?

Friday just isn't Friday without Ian.

Banned by a mod called kink apparently. Not sure whether it's a yellow card or a red.

Hopefully the sensible former.

Is Ian banned? I've not seen anything contentious

Doesn't take much for grumpy scrump to wield the ban hammer these days

Bang, bang, Scrumpy's banning hammer, came down upon his head

Clang, clang, Scrumpy's banning hammer made sure, he was dead.

I'm disappointed to see this sort of behaviour. Scrump is a fantastic member of our community, and we should all be grateful for him and his dedication to PH.

If a post on PistonHeads breaches our rules of posting, it will be removed by any one of our 30 moderators.

You shouldn't need reminding of rule 23 in our rules of posting: Abuse towards our moderators will not be tolerated and will result in your account being suspended or banned.

So it should really be no surprise if this sort of behaviour does result in action being taken against you.

Hi Ben,

I really don't see any abuse in these posts - the posters are making light of the situation, not having a dig at Scrump.

There is so much st posted elsewhere on pistonheads that I find it stunning that some members joking about Ian being banned again really produces the threat of suspension or banning. It makes me think of the Russian government.

I am gutted to be sat here wondering if I dare post these thoughts, as I am worried they may get me banned due to me questioning your policies in a humorous manner. It feels like "thou shalt not criticise the management".

For the record - I do not feel we should be grateful for Scrump doing his job - I assume he chooses to do it, though as these threats sounds like the North Koreans being told they should love their glorious leader, maybe he is being held in a bunker somewhere doing this under duress.

Ok - back on topic, I just found this American version of CDG on Youtube.

It's worth watching just for the Saddam reference in the first few seconds. #noirony



Disclaimer - I'm still watching this while posting the link here, so it could get even more weird...

ETA - I have never heard of the Lexus RC - had to google it and I found this:

How did I miss this? I really want a RC F now.

That is weird, but it's still a great car.

Surely a bit of an overreaction.

A grotesque over reaction.

That's a wheel style for the true purist. R129sl and bm will love that.

This LS400 looks pretty decent for the money given the current climate: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202205165...

That should get snapped up quick

Looks like one of the better ones. Get the wheels re-cut and a bit of tidying, and it'll look a million yen.

I'm certain one of the lurking dealers will've'ad this by the morning.

And gone.

ETA not me sadly.

I really hope this thread doesn’t lose its friendly, welcoming, jovial character. It’s one of the friendliest corners of PH IMHO.
