Great example our AU Moderators are showing for the rest of the AU crew.

Myself being one of the founding members of Aufalcon.com in the first place, I really am far from impressed...

I think a couple of people here really need to take a little moment to calm down.

CustomEL, you should know better than to question what actions a moderator takes.

Dark Horse, if you paid a little more attention you would realise that this is all very light hearted and that Austin and I are actually mates.

As for you being "one of the founding members of Aufalcon.com in the first place" what's that got to do with anything? Also we are not "AU moderators" we are AFF moderators, and we don't have a problem with any members having a joke. As long as it is just a joke.

Couldnt have said it better myself. I couldnt care less about "founding members" - if you want to adopt that sort of attitude, start your own forum while you're at it. It's all in good fun.

The LPG setups did, though I am not sure about the alarm. Though how many cars would have been fitted with the alarm only?

The only things that were listed on the plates were items that were specific to Tickford.

But the alarms were Tickford alarms Russ. IIRC the siren actually has the Tickford logo etched on it.

Ones I've seen don't, plus they were available on most AU's so they wouldn't put them on the plate.
