Been doing some research.....

I have a friend in Australia, and asked him to look into World Care (the people XST announced it signed a deal with). He had never heard of them, and he is a person who is 'in the know', so they are obviously not the equivalent of the AMA locally, since AMA or CAA are houshold names around here for car care and roadside assistance. This probably does not mean anything since they sound like they specialize in BMW's (from the XST NR). The good news is that they are listed in one of his directories, and are located in Brisbane, Queensland, which he found a bit unusual for a nationwide company. Praxis, I am away for the next 2 weeks, I will email you the phone number....could you look into them for me on Monday and post what you find out? Post your findings and I'll check back in a few days. Thanks TOO
