Was looking at them, but 6.99 on the product page, supposedly including VAT. 8.29 in your basket inc VAT. Normally would have queried, but off to Germany at the weekend so it will have to wait.

Yes, before you log in all the product pages quote the price as including VAT. After you log in, the prices have gone up by your rate of VAT ...

I mentioned this to Mathias some time ago, but it seems that he hasn't yet done anything about it. I'm surprised this doesn't contravene some German law or other.

Forgive me for asking Martin, but, is this 'rabbit hutch' your interpretation, or, is this a real German saying for these types of coaching stock??

'Hasenkasten' (= 'rabbit hutch') is the nickname for this type of driving trailer coach, named I think because of the way the cab is enclosed.

Oh, is that what 'Hasenkasten' means, well, thank you Michael, that explains a lot.......
