I've had one for over 5 years now and it cracks really well...
Measurements have been taken from a Morgan whip and once conditioned it takes on a beutiful bllilliant orange..
It has also weathered extremely well with no discernable difference to the Morgan..at much less cost too..

I tried getting dragged behind a 4WD for a while...I couldn't hang on for more than a meter or two, my hands kept giving out. Maybe asphalt has too much friction and the dirt in Egypt allows you to get dragged easier??
