Handarbeit is actually also slang for "tossing off" in German ... so this thread title made me giggle.

It also means "hand-crafted". So the term "made with love" has kind of a... different meaning here :D

Handarbeit reminds me of the VW Golf Harlequin edition:

I bet the original production went like this..

German 1:   Hey German 2, I bet I can blindfold myself, select some random ms paint colors , call it a special edition, and those idiots would buy it..

German 2:  You're on, the loser has to buy Schnitzel dinners for the whole office...

German 2: /loses a week's pay , buying dinners.

If I got the story right, it was a 1-2 unit showcase model for a trade fair

Never for retail sale at any time...

Did that ever make it into reality?

The harlequin golf is amazing. People have copied it on Mk2s and I love it.

That set though. Grim. It's like a WASD custom keyset made by an imbecile.

Yeah I seen one around 10 years ago.  Pretty different. :)

I used to love VW's but the dealers here in the states take the piss.

They act like they are selling Maybachs.  Even the average Audi dealer here is a lot more humble!

Thanks :)

The luckiest bit was the left and right orange arrow keys.  By some coincidence, I got both of those in the first SP crap bag.  Without those it would not have been the same.
