nice work fella  :y.

indeed i bought a splitter for my mini a long time ago and it does the job now as well as back in 1993  :y

I hope my omega flies through it's retest once the engine's back together!

Vectra Elite Estate doing good post-Omega service but still not as nice to sit in.

One last Omega on the drive, one Corsa on the lawn...maybe they'll go to a good home before too long!
