C'mon Saaby, help me here. As little as I know, I'm thinking the power source for your 'human HIDs' may have a weight to power ratio problem (as I'm sure you've experienced in Saabs). Now, forgive me for going back to flashlights for a moment:

Last haloween Wally World had five colors of the standard 5 LED bike lights for $1.75 a piece. They were intended to be worn by trick-or-treators. My nieghborhood is neat little, semi-urban area with nice late-night foot and bike traffic on it. Many people are still using these LED lights for walking and riding at night. I've noticed that the four amber and two red units on my bike (30 LEDs total) not only alert automobile traffic well, but also somewhat light up the area around me for little cost.

I'm thinking that they might be modified to give walkers, joggers and riders hands-free, 360º lighting.

Anybody?

whatchoo talking about willis? vw owns audi and had been "stealing" er borrowing their tech. the 2002 vw jetta wagon is practically the 1999 audi wagon even. same engines, just different ergos and bits.

now, there's a terrible rumor of a single batch of a6's with electrical faults, but that's it. nadda. zippo :> i can't HEAR you :>

they rock.

unfortunatly that means that the 2 real decent AWD wagons" Audi Quatro wagon and Volvo XC, are, well, not that decent.

No no no no no no no no no...they rock, I just wouldn't buy one out of warranty. VW, Audi, and Porche are the same company. VW tends to use more reliable, but simpler things. The boss, that is the president of Volgswagon AG (VW/Audi/Porche) wants VWs to be a more upscale brand, Audi people aern't too happy with that, it's stealing sales, but if it makes the boss happy...

I'm a rookie so it would be difficult for me to figure it out. I do know that when I hear that piano tune I have to look up and watch. The ad just strikes a chord with me.
