    Default Splitscreen written off

    On my way to smoko and a stray elbow put my coffee mug into the sink.
    Unfortunatly it's an unrepairable write off.

    I hope this isn't an omen for my drive home

    Don't put them in the microwave, they burn your hands off.


    Ah, the unmistakable, unforgettable, sound of a Kombi sliding door closing.

    It says "NEW", but how do you know it's not a rebirthing job?

    Could be two halves of 2 written off splitties, just glued together and passed off as new......
