So, did our friend nuke his own thread again, or did mods?

The user LostInTransit / LostNTransit is one of the elite few to be banned from GRM more than once. Mods have a Ban On Site standing order for those few. So his thread was nuked as soon as I nuked him. As Keith said, a cursory look around the internet will show you the tip of the iceberg. The emails the GRM staff had to go through were a dumpster fire.

After my one time ban I haven't had enough whiskey to go for two.

I feel like the ven diagram of enough whiskey for you to get banned and the same amount of whiskey consumed for you to not be able to type on a computer is just two circles that don't intersect.

Edit to add....  he wanted to post his stuff without any comments.  He legitimately lost his E36 M3 when somebody would post a question or even a compliment.  It was literally the weirdest thing I have seen on the internet and I have seen a lot.

Oh my goodness there he is:

I bookmarked this thread a while back to follow when I had the means/balls to do the swap.

In reply to hunter47 :

Huh.

He's banned there, too...

A lot of relatively recent threads have him touting https://viptuning.substack.com to get Cobra Suspension to build custom TC suspension. Like this one posted on Sunday:

We're on the verge of something big. I've been speaking with Cobra Suspension Coil Springs out of Netherlands. This company is NOT to be confuses with the North American Cobra suspension. The general manager and spokesman to the cooperate headquarters is going to work with us to develop a set of rear lowering 40mm coil springs for our 2020 Connect. The tough part is that because the company is in Netherlands, this means having to get a set of these coil would mean having to pay a VAT fee as well as a Customs fee. According to the CEO of the company they are 98% sure their version of the UK coil springs with fit eh North American Connect. However, IF by chance the coils do not fit, the CEO has promised us that they will create a set just for the north American market. The only way one can take part in this is to join our VanBlog here: https://viptuning.substack.com Once those of you who want to stance/slam you van join the vanblog, you'll be the first to know and see if these coils will work/fit and be available to you via a North American market.

But it's a dead link now. Gotta move fast to keep up with LostInTransit.

It's closer than you think.  There's been many a morning I say "E36 M3 I need to see what I posted/bought last night."

I honestly wanted to see the van but his "comments not welcome on my post" drivel was painful. 

I thought the problem was that he (I assume a he) did not get enough comments.

For me, his thread is now in my top 3 of weird GRM threads that I've witnessed

1 - Amy

2 - Go trike 

3 - LostNtransit

They are all legends

Everyone should really lighten up on him today.

In reply to fanfoy :

I've seen 1 and 3 and seen a many of patio additions but remind me "go trike"?

In reply to johndej :

He was going to revolutionize transport with this build:

At least, I think it's this build. Looked like it. 

Ohh, I think I remember that. Similar  to the rally guy trolling about big motors.

I just feel like "cooperate headquarters" is a little to accurate for some suspension company in the Netherlands to just agree to make a suspension for US spec cars for a guy on the internet. Maybe the same as ROW but rarely are.
