I wouldn't want to meet you in a dark ally if your ripping gear sticks from their mountings.Anyway, I hope it's not too expensive to fix.

XR6TK1W1 Member 435 Member For: 22y 2m Location: Wellington NZ Posted 21/04/03 08:55 AM Share Posted 21/04/03 08:55 AM How do you move it the wrong way? Unless sideways? Well look at it this way. its much easier to reach now you can sit it in your lap. And also when you catch the guy that beat you in the drag you can throw it at him!!
