Bloomin' Nora, how the hell did this come about?!

That casting looks well scrubbed, and clinically clean! Is it one you show folks from your 'Chamber of Horrors'?

Cricky...!

That is the first one I've seen like that.
There have been many many cases of the diffs exploding in GTA & V6 156/147/GT/GTV, sending the resultant pieces through the side of the box though.
