You could buy them all and fix them for half the price of an M8. Were I seriously looking for an opening it would be directed at the company making the M8s. You might have been quite fortunate with yours but looking back over the LUG indicates you've got garlic hanging on the door frame. It was, or is, a problem plagued offering. Sure, they will work out the bugs but at quite a cost to many unfortunate buyers. One of the most obvious things concerning the M8 tete a tete is owner hostility. Even when the damn machines don't work right owners rationalize to hell and back. I've bought (and stepped in) so many useless things over the years the list is near endless. Still, there is no shame in admitting a mistake. 1. A new Fiat....what a freaking error 2. Nikkormat...Loved watching it sink in the river. 3. Canon A1's There comes Sally Ride but the rain forked up the damn thing and it won't fire. 4. Ex wife.....burn in hell, bitch. 5. Other ex wife....As long as you're running things here in hell, burn the other bitch 6. USMC... That's beyond explanation 7. Worrying about Sonny not liking me cause I don't do digital Leicas.
