In the nicest possible way, could all the 'sheep' out there stop posting comments like "And me", "Me too", etc...
It's a little frustrating when you are subscribed to a thread to gather information, and all you get is token posts from people trying to increase their post count, with no usefull information to add... :p

Pretty sure they're not trying to fluff their postcount. I think it's obvious that they don't want to miss out on a group deal.

Whether those posts are necessary? ehh...you're probably right.

PS I want one as well! Count me in.

PPS - Apologizing in advance to Tokenbrit for the email you're going to receive from my post.

My car before my 8 was a jetta. It had the key fob thing and it cut down on your keychain size, was fun to play with when board at work, and was always a conversation topic. I'm in two if you can get em.

I guess the real question here is, who's going to lead this "rag tag" group and follow up on how to do a "group buy"? It's nice that we all want one, but unless anyone is leading the charge for a group buy, it ain't going to happen.

...and, no, I'm not a candidate to do it...... :p

I'd do it, but I'd probably get drunk and forget to follow through.

Anyone else?

I had words with my dealer about this today (U.K.), and he says he can get them for 150pounds cut. He's not sure about compatibility tho....
