Title: Pipeline Card
Post by: Brads MK2 GTI on 29 January 2006, 15:00

First off, I know this has been posted in the Chat - VW section, but not everyone goes there, and topics move so fast, it's easy to miss. Also this is by far the busiest model specific board, and we all know that MK2 owners are the nicest!

C'mon guys, sign up for this, it's free and looks well worth it. Strength in numbers and all that!

I can second that!  Been signed up for a while now and looking forward to the card being up and running pretty soon....the more members the better - and it's free!

Anything that makes the old girl's diet of super unleaded cheaper can't be bad  :wink:

Nah, I don't think that this is a hoax, you can normally tell. Unless I'm wrong of course?

I don't think this is a hoax either.....it has had good press coverage and I heard about it through Evo magazine.  I've not had any junk e-mails either......hope I won't be eating those words but I don't think so  :huh:

FBF, what have you seen in the small print that makes you suspicious exactly?

i will have to read it all again but theres one particular page that makes jokes of it all on the actual website.  basically admitting its for a mailing list.

FBF, are you sure you wasn't pissed when you looked at the site?! :) I've just double checked every page and can't see anything of the sort. Also as it's been mentioned, this has been in the Guardian, on BBC Radio 2, etc, etc.

I really think this is the real deal, and unless we support it, there will never be enough bargaining power to make a difference.

Again I could be wrong, but I'm willing (and already have) to sign up, the risks (if any) seem negligible.

Just don't blame me if I'm wrong!

if you're worried about SPAM just sign up for a new email account and use that address when you register. Keeps your main email address free if it does indeed spam you  :nerd:

Think your wrong maybe you should get your facts straight before trying to kill a thread.

Ive just got a reply from them. The guys name is something like James Dreacon. Hope this is just a co-incedence.

Here's a link to The Times on-line concerning this plan

I think the idea of bulk buying power is not only a good idea, but a very feasible one as well! After all, I work for the Co-Operative group, which is living proof that ideas such as the above can become a working reality.

All for one and one for all I say! You're either on the bus or not as they say...
