Unauthorized advertising?
I've just noticed that a hyperlink has appeared in my signature. You'll see the link on 'brakes' in my signature below. The link will take you to the brake parts page of a well known parts supplier. I definitely did not put this link in my signature. I don't even buy anything from this supplier!
Does Rennlist allow sponsors to use us in this way? I'm a little shocked that a sponsor can get into my profile and edit my stuff!
I'll remove the link in due course by editing my signature but thought I should bring it to people's attention first.

Revenue generation by the board owners. Adblock installed in your browser will remove most of them. They don't do this directly, basically they sell or subscribe to an adwords marketer (like google) and when those words are found links are included that link to external sites. This site isn't bad, some other boards suck with this stuff.
FWIW, in your current sig, "flywheel" is a link that links to:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=flywheel
