[s-cars] I'm hosed, a/k/a Samco GP

[Marc Gorelick]

Hi //S Fans:

About a month ago there was a flurry of emails about a group purchase for 
Samco hoses. I thought little of this at the time, but I have just 
diagnosed the cause my poor performance problems as a split in the hose 
that connects the IC to the throttle body.  Presently it is being held 
together by an alloy of strapping tape overlaid with duct tape. While this 
arrangement may in fact be stronger than the stock hose was in the first 
place, it's still not very good IMHO. ;-)

So, my questions are...am I a month too late to get in on this?  If so, 
does anyone who was originally scheduled to do this want someone to take 
their place?  Lastly, if I am out of the running for the Samco deal, is 
there another source for this hose I should consider?

ETKA shows this as Audi P/N 034 145 746 AQ.

Thanks as always...

Marc
