A completely unrelated story which I didn't know where to post. Have you seen this little lot? https://www.facebook.com/CandyShowroomInt/ Scroll down to the 16th May update, where 11 cars cruising across Germany are seized/confiscated by the police. The comments are superb.
https://www.presseportal.de/blaulicht/pm/12415/4278822 Which translates roughly as; POL-K: 190523-4-K / BAB / REK Ten tuned cars secured at rest area - experts confirm traffic insecurity and stop cars Cologne (ots) Addendum to the press release number 2 of 17 May The Cologne police have presented on Thursday night (16 May) at the rest area Frechen-South on the A4 seized cars of ten British (20 to 31 years) experts. On all ten tuned vehicles, the experts found deficiencies that lead to traffic insecurity. The Road Traffic Office ordered the immediate decommissioning. Thus, the cars in Germany may no longer be driven on public roads. Before the release of the vehicles, police will charge a security deposit of around 900 euros per car. The Road Traffic Office sends the registration plates and vehicle documents to the registration offices in England. The experts stated in their report, among others, the following defects in the cars of the brands BMW, Honda, Seat, VW and Mercedes: - "Radbefestigung 2nd Axis right poor, danger of Loss of the wheel - wheels in connection with air suspension no Freedom from the mudguard - Tires: No clearance sufficient with impairment of driving safety front and rear - Spring 1st and 2nd axis left and right distance to body parts insufficient - front wishbone inadmissible - brake hose frayed - service brake system: minimum braking not reached - Engine leaking - High oil loss - Transmission leaking - Oil loss with drip - exhaust system changed - reversing light without Function - Silencer missing - Windscreen with cracking - Windscreen glued in the field of view - sill extension improperly mounted - additional spring 2nd axis left and right damaged - assignment wheel / tire not allowed - air filter / Use: design not allowed - coupling rod 1st axis left and broken right - Airbags missing - Horn without function - ...

It was a chap called wizard a friend of @Poptop2 i think. It got all a bit nasty with all kinds of threats including eating your first born kind of stuff but I don’t think anyone knew why it kicked off in the first place but it was something silly. He was kicked off TLB and no one was allowed to talk about it.
He was a proper moron. Sort of bloke who could start an argument if he was the only person in the room. Careful what you say though; he'll get his Solis sulis solisiter lawyer on to you.
In light of that cheers for replying :-D Sounds like he was a bit of a keyboard warrior after a day on the juice! Cant comprehand why people get in such a state on forums and online posts, I come on here for banter and a bit of an escape, bless him. I shall never speak on this again :-D
