Do you have any solution to the import duty issue Gazah raised earlier?

just so you're aware...

spoke to customs last week regarding the glovebox tidys, & while most goods attract 5% import duty [+ 10% GST] all auto spare parts are charged at 15% [+ GST]... so be wary of what you get Doug to call the goods on the customs paperwork, or if they contact you personally when they hit the country

...good luck!

I'm actually thinking it may be easier to just pay the shipping US$8 and have them individually shipped...

Hey GOGADGET, this one nearly slipped under my guard, it is true i enjoy a nice cold knob, especially when "pulling off" the freeway!! Of course as Babes has discovered, ones knob can get pretty hot too!! And as Poki said, nothing feels better than a good knob in your hand. As for me and a whalen, no thanks, still getting my kicks out of my own Knob.

Why not get a knob cooler, if there is a Mrs Babes perhaps she could knit you one, with a little MINI logo on it, then on a hot day before leaving the car you slip your "knob cooler" on and when you get back "Hey Presto" your knob is still cool

Maybe we could do a group buy on knob coolers
