What would be a good place to post info about our company to promote sales of the alloy discs it in the UK market? Car portals, catalogues, magazines, etc.? Thank you

"Alloy brake discs - is this a wind up !"

Probably some fancy wheel discs instead of plastic wheel trims - I bet they spin as well!

Looking at the website, he's referring to alloy wheels.

Virtually all brake discs are alloy, namely steel.

You may have seen the website, DD, but we're not having it on here.

Sorry, WSP, but our advertisers pay for their adverts on here and we can't allow free publicity.

I am amazed at the number of people who confuse Alloy with Aluminium of a course an Alloy could have aluminium in it but then again it couldn't

Im going to send out a public information leaflet informing people who pay for big 19 inch alloy wheels etc that steel (ie bog standard wheels) is indeed an alloy in itself.

Marketing ploy playing on ignorance if you ever saw one.

Oh, come off it. Metals are virtually always used in alloys. The term 'alloy' in this case denotes an aluminium based alloy as opposed to a ferrous one. That is perfectly sensible.

The mistake is to think that 'alloy' is necessarily a positive attribute.

Physicists' Latin is obviously more advanced than the classical stuff I last studied in 1969! 'Anaea' defeats me - what were the chariot wheels made of?

(Resorts to Latin dictionary....) Ah - Aenea! (from the noun aes). Got it!

All I could find under 'anaea' in Google was anaea troglodytica - a type of butterfly. Possibly also a troglodyte who talks out of his bottom.....

Oh yes indeed.

Avant's animated this evening. Poetry, A Great Leap Forward on the Swearing Purge...

...One can only speculate on the cause of this feverish activity. Have you found a Jaffa Cakes type Ad Valorem loophole?

Nothing offensive there, Old Roverboy - I've got a sense of humour like the rest of you! We edit and delete posts only if absolutely necessary.

But seeing as this thread started with an attempt at a free advert, I think it's gone far enough. If anyone seriously feels that swearing is justified on a forum like this, by all means write to us at moderators@honestjohn.co.uk
