[s-cars] MotorWeek Video Update - the Good, the bad and the Ugly

[Dave Forgie]

S-gruppees:  I have good news and bad news.  First the good news:

The video of the 1992 Motor Week program in which a red Ur S4 was tested
IS available.   (Yes!)

The bad news is that because I am in Canada (you know me, I am president
of  the self-appointed "Lets keep the Canadian Ur S cars in Canada
Association" - membership: 1 may be two if Fred chimes in), the whole
group purchase thing works out to a $0.60 saving if I lead it. (As we
say in Canada, "Big freakin' whoopdeedoo!!" ).

The GP/bulk order (more than 15 copies) would be 25% off the normal
US$25 charge = US$18.75.  Except that, while the $25 includes shipping
and handling, the $18.75 does not.  In addition, my lovely governments
want provincial sales tax (7.5%) and federal goods and services tax (GST
- aka "gouging and screwing tax").  This, plus shipping costs through
CANADA POST (aka "we like to lose your parcels POST"), kill it for me
leading the GP.   Darn, and I really wanted to come through for you guys
on this one.

So unless one of you US types quickly steps up to the plate, the way to
get the tape is to send a check (cheque) or money order only (No
Plastic, no PayPal) for US$25  (Maryland residents US$26 (they need $1
tax)) with your details (name, address, etc.) to:

Maryland Public Broadcasting

RE: Show No. 1151 (includes Audi S4)

I'm going out to get a money order now.

Sorry I couldn't do more
