NZFF

Hi all. I've convinced myself that I need a buttkicker gamer to enhance my enjoyment of flightsim. I have a UK address i.e. flightstore, which has them for a just manageable price of about NZ$280.00.[they take off the V.A.T.] The trouble is freight cost is another NZ$150.00. Does anyone know if they are available from Australia as I would guess the freight cost would be a bit less?
I would also like to hear from anyone who has used one; is it as good as the hype?
Cheers,
Mechanic.

I just had to Google it to see what the heck a ButtKicker was! On the ButtKicker website under Sales / International Sales, there's contact details for the Aus / NZ agent. Let us know what they quote

Thanks for the reply. I had contacted that [Aus.] site some time ago but this time they seem more helpful. However the weekend seems to have got in the way of further coms. I'll let you know what happens Monday.
PS. These things are supposed to be fantastic, if I ever get a hold of one I'll do a full report!
