VR6Nat 9 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Just thought id stick a pic or two up here of this weekends adventure into a layby....I have an ebay splitter that i have always said is good, until i hit a high kerb and cracked it, then this weekend i ventured into a layby that i now realise i really shouldn't have as there was no 'safe' way out and here is the result.... My temporary repair....Previous crack... I am now thinking maybe they are brittle... may invest in a gsf one next.... :S Link to post Share on other sites
