No he must have replaced it with the DELETED text himself.
When I delete spammers I can delete their posts along with the user. Sometimes I delete users that have no posts and haven't been active for more than a year. But never ones that posted something

I’ve bitten the coolant delete bullet too. Just fitted this from Revolt Systems in California. My car is used as a Daily, so didn’t have the time to have off the road whilst the existing manifold was modified. Took about 2 hours to fit.
