Noone should have received a temporary suspension. He should be invited back with the proviso he is on probation and long as he understands the offending behavior he can be a full participant.
The blog has become somewhat stale with increasingly fewer participants. We should not bar anyone for life unless he is obsessed with Audi R 8's.
Being adventurous can be risky but routine is lethal.

Don't worry, he is here...somewhere...
Btw: He made a comment towards me in his short comeback but I was actually one of those who didn't really want to ban him (went along with it though since the mods made some very good points). Anyway, I think the mods were right, sometimes it requires a tough decision and they did good.

Can someone please ban me?
I try to stay away, but never seem able to resist the urge to have a wee peek every so often...
Bring back the 'Brexit' thread - it's all getting very interesting (not) here in the UK.

SciFrog:So how soon before EV discussions get banned?
In case you didn't realise it, this is a car forum, it's like asking how soon before manual vs auto discussions are banned. But this is not a politics forum, people can go elsewhere for that, plenty of places out there to argue all day long in front ot the screen.

Carlo, I don't believe the Brexit issue is politically charged as it once was (like the US election. I asked a legitimate question not to generate argument but thoughts from people who have an interest regarding Brexit which includes all Europeans. You overreacted.
Stress is man made.

Wholeheartedly agree. Wonder if the evolution of tires has made the new Rav4 quicker around the 'ring.
SciFrog:So how soon before EV discussions get banned?
Are you serious? We wouldn't even have banned political discussions but some people seem to have issues handling politics discussions like adults. It always ends with insults and this is unacceptable. I disagree with many people here politically but I would never dream of hating them or disliking them because of their political opinion.
Same goes to other issues in life: Live and let live is my motto, why can't people get along who disagree? Nothing is a matter of life and death and while Trump for example isn't a choir boy, he is no Hitler either. Same as Clinton is not the criminal some conservatives want to portray her. This is politics, this is how it works but people take this stuff way too seriously and let it affect their personal life to an extent which incomprehensible to me. We need to tone down (political) discussions a little bit and keep it civil. Unfortunately some very valuable users already left Rennteam because of those political discussions. A real shame and very sad.
Politics and emotions don't mix well.

back to business... (humour mode ON)
Audi, sportscar and emotions don't mix well either and you are finally getting into the right direction with the Performante.
Politics is a critical subject and turn arguments into See my country now as a great example of politic craziness, ''yellow vests'' are turning major cities into violence/confrontation zones because of wrong politic decision.
On contrary, EV car is interesting development and is right on subject. what is interesting though is the Tesla crowd convinced that they did a revolution with cars... EV cars was legion in the end of 19th century.

Well, you got me...I had to get a car which is faster than yours on the track...and on the road.
Can't let a French guy be faster...

WAY:You are getting a Performante? Wow! It’s the only Lambo I would consider getting! But right now it is too far away for me with young kids that need driving around every day. One day!
Yes, it is going to look exactly like this one...arrival will be sometimes in April or so, not sure yet. I could have had it earlier but it makes no sense now before winter.
I would get the Aventador SVJ as well but impossible...too expensive and more important, basically sold out.
The Performante is a logical step forward from my R8, so for me, this is a dream come true.
My kids are looking forward to this car as well, they love it (daughter is overwhelmed since the Huracan is her most favorite car in the world).

You opened an old wound...
My wife hates green but this is the color my daughter loves and wants for the Huracan. She agreed however that this is too much for our neighborhood but she hoped that I would choose green brake calipers and a green interior for my white car. Sorry but I just couldn't go through with it, I think red was the better choice (for a white exterior).

crayphile:RC:crayphile:Sorry but I just couldn't go through with it, I think red was the better choice (for a white exterior)Agreed. My SVJ coupe will be white with red accents on the interior.
Car is basically sold out, extreme high demand, congrats.

That is a fine looking automobile Congrats!
I didn't realize Lambo had center-lock wheels like Porsche. Is that an option or just a Performante thing?
