As far as "why automotive posts are banned on some other forums" goes then I could understand, if not entirely agree with, a ban on there being threads about vehicles, or of threads going off topic to be about vehicles, on the grounds that the site is a vintage radio one not a car one. But banning people for saying eg "the military radio set had the solidity of a VW Golf door", "this turntable was considered the Rolls Royce of turntables in its day". I mean REALLY? What is to be gained from this? It strikes me as akin to the eccentric owner of a private estate banning people from walking on the cracks between the paving stones just for the mischief of doing so. Cars etc are such a large part of everyday life that phrases pertaining to them have been a part of the vernacular for longer than living memory, hence "Mondeo man", "the new mini of...." etc.
Well spoken! Totally agree with everything you have said on this post.
