Where is this free nothing available ? Warning by the time you have travelled to Australia to collect it considerable expense will have been incurred, making this offer much less attractive to European citizens

Saab Central cannot condone the flagrant use of the lounge forum for advertising "nothing" even if its free

Please squat in the corner and think about what you have done

Postage makes the free nothing prohibitively expensive.

Well i recon that if your gonna have a user name 'hotbabe' you should atleast have a picture to go with it, maybe you mods could enforce some kinds rule that if your user name denotes something about your appearance your avatar should have a pic of yourself in it (except if you user name is Ugly F888888, then you should really keep that sh88 to yourself).

For all we know Hotbabe could be a 19st 40 year old still living with his mum, just want to ensure that non of us red blooded Saabaholics ar'nt dissapointed.


Is'nt there some kind of £10 registration fee for that free nothing?

Sadly "she" had no profile picture

Whilst the first shipment of "nothing" is free, you then recieve monthly shipments of "nothing" at $1000 unless returned within 14 days and this continues for life

Add that to the installation costs ... and since you have to have nothing installed by trained factory professionals, you can't just DIY ...

The problem is that with exchange rates being what they are, purportedly "free" nothing becomes a very expensive something. Then, as has been pointed out, tack on shipping costs and installation fees and you might as well fuggidaboutit.

Can you imagine what a BMW forum would make of this thread

They would need to take a lot of serious thinking to realise what it is all worth, and have we considered the VAT or sales tax depending on country of origin plus eventual customs...

BMW owners would insist on paying for something that is free just for the prestige factor!

Well how come they don't buy turn indicators ?

I remember driving a lot in South Africa and there they were options for BMWs.

I wonder if the shipping costs are fixed or whether with a bulk purchase a saving could be made?

Sort of Waiting for Godot.... until the throne is free.

Forget it he squats.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
