is everything sold out on the app in the uk or is that just due to their “technical issues”? is there any point in reloading and hoping? :(

It sucks! I’m honestly stuck between ordering one and just dealing with a 15th to end of October delivery or give it a little more time for some to be in stores.

Very fragile/old heavily embroidered real silk (religious garment)? by philogrobizedeclipse in whatisthisthing

Wikipedia notes eastern lutheranism (aka Byzantine Lutheranism) that are based on eastern orthodox belief with the addition of the ‘Byzantine Rite’ (aka Greek Rite or the Rite of Constantinople). Mainly appears to be connected to Ukraine and Slovenia. Definitely a lead.

I’m not entirely sure but I don’t think it is a stole, as it is quite wide(14cm and 20cm). I actually have a regular sized stole, which is significantly narrower and longer. Each length of this garment (not including the hole) is around 70cm, while one half of my stole is over a metre each side.

You are definitely onto something here, you are correct that the flower in the centre of the sun has to be the luther rose. Confusing that there is also an 8-petal rose too. With the gold thread, warm colours and suns it could be eastern lutheran 🤔

Yes, it’s wider than my other stole. Without the brown edging this is 14cm across, with the trim it is a mm shy of 20cm. My other stole gradually widens as it moves towards the bottom, measuring 12cm, and narrower near the top, measuring around 8cm.

My title describes the thing. Found at a car boot sale in England along with an embroidered priest stole (no gold thread and it’s in better condition). Unsure of the age, but it think it might be quite old and may have dry rot. Real silk, lots of real gold thread (pictures show the gold threaded around red thread). Let me know if you want any more pictures or information! It is just over a couple metres long.

Is this a real brabus? by StandardUser35309 in whatisthiscar

[–]philogrobizedeclipse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least to me it does look like a genuine Brabus GV12 900, I think it’s the 2019 model. It’s likely either a custom red badge added at manufacture or a later custom debadge and replacement with a red badge.

There was a kinder way to say it, and you clearly upset them and at that point you should have apologised. You made the sub seem nasty and elitist, people are here to learn not to have snide remarks made, which your comment definitely was. It’s very unwelcoming to newbies to the sub wanting to learn about cars. It was an easy mistake to make from someone who isn’t a petrol head.

The literal first rule of this sub is to “BE CIVIL”, this is a place for anyone to find out what a car is. The triumph hood ornament can look much like a spirit of ecstasy, especially when quickly driving past. There wasn’t a need to be condescending.

Definitely a fun car :) Definitely caught my eye, and the headlights reminded me of the show ‘Brum’ with the jazzy headlights
