    That kinda stuff makes it hard for women car buffs to come onto these forums. We're a friendly forum, and these kinds of hit and run things just make it awkward.

    Not fair to others. :(

    Thanks for letting me know.. The person has been banned and their URL censored. So if her sister tries to pull the same scam, they won get very far as part of the domain has been censored (As you can see above). I also made some changes to forum config, which will make it harder to send PM spam.

    I didn't either, but the site was full of Eastern Philosophical prose and concepts. Not harmful in itself, but no way to recruit the in-convertibles. :rofl2:
