Hi Mr Chopper:
The photo of the yellow Saab Sonett on Wikipedia from Lime Rock is my car. Nice picture. My only comment is about the comment. You indicated that the mirrors were incorrect, as they were supposed to be black, rectangular. The 1974 Saab Full line brochure shows a Sonett with chrome Talbot style mirrors. This is shown in a link from Hemming’s which follows.
https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2019/10/17/what-a-car-should-be-1974-saab-full-line-brochure
It is my understanding that the mirrors were dealer installed (in the US), and both styles were used.
Thanks for the good picture. Romanpart (talk) 16:53, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Romanpart: Thanks for the clarification! I will correct the description. Great car, thanks for showing and sharing. I remember chatting with you briefly (it was probably raining). Best, Mr.choppers | ✎ 16:57, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi
I notice there are so many vandalism on the articles of Livan Automotive so I revert them all.
And I want to clarify some facts regarding with those articles. The Maple, Shanghai Maple Auto, and Livan Automotive are actually same company that evolved in name and capital structure in past decade. The original article Shanghai Maple has been moved to Maple (marque) by author Jengtingchen in October 28, 2020, and furtherly moved to Livan Automotive by me in May 17, 2023. (please see the contribution history of Livan Automotive). The vandal revert those edit thus created so many chaos and I just try to fix it.
Thank you. Infinty 0 (talk) 02:24, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Infinty 0: Maple is a separate, budget oriented brand, whereas Livan is focused on electric cars. While there is clearly some overlap in the corporate structure I disagree with merging these. "Maple (marque)" is a bad title, "marque" just being a fancy name for brand. I suggest keeping Shanghai Maple and Livan Automotive as separate articles since the two brands are clearly distinct.

The text of this edit extremely closely paraphrases this source, (copyvios report) to the extent it is a copyright violation. Please be more careful going forward to be sure you are writing articles in your own words. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 02:15, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Trainsandotherthings: - thank you - fyi, I didn't actually write this text, I just moved this paragraph from Livan Automotive (see old version). After a bit of sleuting, the text in question seems to have been originally added to an an earlier version by User:Jengtingchen. He was recently blocked for similar copyvios but appears to have taken it to heart and improved considerably as a result. Best, Mr.choppers | ✎ 17:47, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- My bad, thanks for letting me know. Your name came up on Who Wrote That, and I didn't think to check if you had moved the text from an existing article. That name is actually familiar to me as just yesterday I caught a copyvio they had added to Nissan Sentra. I'm not a car expert, so if I removed something important, please feel free to rewrite it and return it to the article. I took a look at some of the articles you've worked on and everything looked good, so I was wondering why this one edit by you had an issue. Glad to see you already understand copyright, keep up the good work on car articles. This came up because I saw Shanghai Maple in the queue at New pages patrol, and I was about to mark it as reviewed but I found an issue on my copyvio check. I'm no longer worried about copyvio now, so I will mark it as reviewed. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 21:06, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Trainsandotherthings: - thank you, absolutely no need to feel bad at all. Best regards, Mr.choppers | ✎ 21:16, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Do you know what the new Lexus GX and Prado model codes are? I had a quick search and didn't find anything. I suspect somebody took the old J150 code and just added 100 but Toyota doesn't follow a very consistent pattern with the GX and Prado. Stepho talk 02:00, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- You are probably correct, I missed the earlier conversation and only saw the one cryptic edit summary. Thanks, Mr.choppers | ✎ 02:12, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Did some more digging. https://www.drive.com.au/news/2024-toyota-prado-imagined-from-lexus-gx/ says that it will probably be badged as the 250 series and guesses that that reflects the model code. The smart guys at ih8mud.com are calling it the LC250 (dropping the Prado name in N.America). I've also seen some mentions of LC180 at team-bhp.com but that might only be a guess. Hopefully Toyota/Lexus will put some nice brochures on their Japanese site when it is released for sale - they typically mention full model codes there. Stepho talk 05:28, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Stepho-wrs: yeah, no rush I suppose. Mr.choppers | ✎ 15:09, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There was a typo (give-speed manual) on the page prior to the removal. I reverted your edit since the trim section was already poorly written, and edited often by IPs, please don't revert every single edit done by an LTA or sockpuppet.
E.g. Alex Neman and MrDavr are both constructive editors, so revert them carefully. Thank you.

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

- You have been trouted because of restoring a poorly written section to a article. This is contrary to Wikipedia's rules.

- I have rewrote the section. Thankfully you didn't restore the "give-speed manual" typo. 95.12.39.6 (talk) 21:16, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello-
Is your Dodge Ram van photo available for download to use for a cardboard cutout as party decor? If not, what is the cost to purchase a download? 2601:742:8000:87E0:E817:57D3:E349:629B (talk) 17:06, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
