I hit the online parts supplier <www.stopshopanddrive.com> in April.  
They were a link from the <www.speedycarparts.com> that advertised on 
Darin's <www.s-cars.org>, and bought plug connectors with the same 
stock number this place is using VW075761 with mfg Beru for $5.41 ea.  
I didn't need any, but, the price was too good to pass.  Check them now 
they offer one with same stock # and  mfg "Import" for $5.98.   
Speedycarparts has a Prenco brand for $9.77 and a Beru for $25.82.  So, 
your site has a good deal if they are quality stuff as Darin attests.  
(good price on plugs and POS units, too)
I also have a no name set of connectors  from 
<www.europeanautomotive.com> in Albuquerque that were under $5 that I 
bought for road spares, but they are still unused in the trunk.  Does 
that count ?  They are good quality for just carrying around.  :-)  
They sell Beru at a good price, also.
I'm with James on Karlyn.  She's a blonde in a miniskirt that can 
really get you connected. :-)
