Does anyone know if Busters are part of the same organisation? I checked to see where my new drag bars were arriving and it said there was an overnight incident. Webpage is down.

M+P, Busters and On2Wheels (the trade division of M+P) all worked out of the same warehouse and offices - it's a long complicated story that involves sell-outs and firms going bust and bought back by the original owners etc.

Three of the managers at a firm I worked for left to join M+P to run On2Wheels and I applied for a job with them, then withdrew the application.

Probably some m*tr*x fire extinguishers to blame or something...
