I for one accepted the 80 issues due to the fact that the vic was 120 what I don't know is the price the Japanese public are paying for theirs,and quite honestly I don't much care,I can do without the stress and the politics,I suspect that deag franchise for each country,so possibly different specs will apply to the country that sells it model,and has to set the price to the economics of that country.

Sorry to take this topic back to the Japanese issue but I am fed up with all this moaning Cursing that comes up every now and again about the Japanese getting more than us, if you subscribe then ours cost 1@£1.99, 1@4.99, 1@Free and 82@£7.99 = £662.16. I cannot read Japanese so I might be wrong but as far as I can make out from the back issue order page their first issue costs 890 Yen and the others cost 1,790 Yen and using today's exchange rate that makes 1@£7.02 and 64@14.11 = £910.06, so they might be having less issues and more stuff but they are paying £250 more for the pleasure.

If anyone wishes to discuss the japanese issues they sould start an new topic to discuss it.

So I want to go back to the seatbelts they look amazing and the attention to detail with the coloured straps is nothing less than phenominalBigGrin.

Perfect explanation to a possible reason for the difference in number of issues, well done to you sir!! ThumpUp ThumpUp

Perhaps now we can get back to the original topic. Nice seatbelts - really looking forward to receiving them at whatever point we get them!!!
