Landyzone was a laugh a minute - I was a regular there with my P38 Range Rover in the years when there were very few female members of car forums ( not much change there then! ).  It was "moderated" in a very arbitrary way - the most offensive posts ever were allowed to heap up, but other posts just vanished if the site owner decided he wanted to delete them without a good reason ever forthcoming.  Lots of jealous outbursts when I sold my Rangie and bought my first X and I certainly was not welcome there any longer without a Rangie.  Other BMW forums like BMWLAnd and Xoutpost are ok,  but neither as friendly as here, even if this forum is not as active as it used to be in recent months. The other friendly car forum I visit is the VW T4 forum as we have an ancient ( but very venerable) Caravelle which flies like a rocket, surprising many a driver as it belts past them :)

LOl @ 535dboy.........If I had generous head hair covering & it looked like yours I'd shave it off anyway :P

Glad this forum generally a tolerable place to spend some time.......Re malicious posts on other boards I try ensure I value the commentator before concerning myself too much with offensive commentary.

I think most won't generally tolerate or encourage genuinely foul folk on here thankfully :)

On a road test around the Millbrook track a few years back an Astra VXR Turbo was left for dead at 155 plus.  And I was in a Skoda Octavia vRS, 4-up and with blue lights on the roof bar.  The owner's face was an absolute picture....... :)) :)) :))
