I feel your pain . I went through the same thing once upon a time. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Good luck with the new strange rear end. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />

Re: Broke 10 bolt today

isnt it ironic that its always the last run when the rear end breaks? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Broke 10 bolt today
