I had a similiar thing happened to a VS GrubSnort I bought new in Bribane, they wern't really interested, and ever since then I have never been interested in the junk the produce. I think it will look 100% brand new when it comes back Edited 26/08/08 02:18 PM by hypnodoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
