Question

You get the usual "my car - your car" threads but sometimes a nice gentle "we're all petrolheads" thead comes along.

There was one such thread concerning Vectras and it was even in the correct forum (Other Marques) that I'd been following & contributing to.

It was entitled Vectras & it was a nice gentle, non-vitriolic post concerning the merits of various types of Vectra ( & I'm just waiting for the comments this post is likely to bring yada yada yada ) & completely non-contentious.

That post has now completely disappeared

I think that I had been the last poster but I didn't say owt I shouldn't have. Poss someone said something rude after I did but can't think of any reason why its no longer there.

I've checked every single thread that I have visited in the last 2 days ( ) and that one, along with another that should have been deleted are the only ones missing. So I get 2 deleted thread notifications when expecting one.

Anyone care to enlighten me?

Dunno where it went m8.

A possible explanation is the editing bug, that a post can delete itself after a certain number of edits. Maybe that's what happened to it?

Exclamation

Have been enlightened...

Though I still hold that that particular thread wasn't libelous, contentious or promoting a flame war - slapped that on the head the first time this thread was posted. Last was talking about 2nd hand values falling & there was the name of a company that can increase the performance of my Vectra Diesel by 30% cheaply.

Hi Puff,

The company was Van Aaken, in Crowthorne just outside of Bracknell.

www.vanaaken.com

Hope that helps

Apparently you get a 30% increase in power if you remove all your sales equipment from the back!?!
