Lots of knowledge, testing and writing was there, and it all appears to have been deleted.

When did this happen?

Thats been gone ages

Wildoliver and the tablets saw to that.

I think engineerstore was actually quite glad it all went away in the end,
as he had no call to pop up with another manufactured endorsement to back up
his wild NASA claims

I haven't been able to find it archived on the web either frown if only someone had thought to save it I could stick it on my own website, it would go well in the "crap stuff" section.

Something of a marathon thread with how many pages?

Always nice to find it new to some people who'd read it all through over a weekend and announce their achievement on Sunday night.

My own personal favourite alter-ego of Mr Huile De serpent
has got to be 'Antmat' and his daring claims on the product, culminating in the evidence off his very own rally site advocating a totally different (lubricant) product.


Oh the recriminations/tears flew back & forth, that other bloke he
magic'd up with his mums rover



'I challenge anyone to a race' he was a good One too

As far as I am aware it hasn't been removed.

If you can give me a few keywords etc are you using to search for it (and which forum it should be in, although i'm guessing GG) then I will have a dig about and see where it has gone.

Ok, looks like it has been removed rather than gone missing, i'll try and find out why when I am back in the office tomorrow and fingers crossed I might be able to reinstate it

A slightly stolen and bdised quote i feel may fit here...

"[it] was a great patriot, a humanitarian, a loyal friend - provided, of course, that [it] really is dead."
