I'm all agog.

No-I'm not from N.Wales,but perilously close.The title pertains to my annual wait for the new Stihl catalogue,my local dealer tends to get them in by late May-on a good Year.

Still,one can speculate.I've seen the details/prices of the 'new' little homeowner ch.saws-boo,hiss!

More of interest-will their bonkers pricing lead to the demise of the 241c-m?

Will the 362 go the same way as the 441?More fuel injection/magnesium pistoned saws?Or are they SO last year.

Will stihl have a Road to Damascus moment and stop selling 4 stroke stuff.Or,Throw the entire industry into turmoil and sell the World's first 60cc pro 4 stroke chainsaw!

Will the cunning Devils put 2 on the end of all their chainsaw models to give us all a warm,fuzzy moment?Will they grit their teeth and match most other firm's warranty without selling a £25 tub of motomix to achieve parity 

The suspense is killing moi.

Rumour has it from my dealer that Stihl aren't doing paper catalogues anymore.

Effing hell, they're going down the same road as the seed companies.No seed,machinery,porn mags anymore-its the road to Hell.

I'm sure digital disappointment is just as dissatisfying as paper porn disappointment.

 

Was discussing this the other week, online price for a MS261 Vs dealer.

You may well scoff,but its not the same,I noted that Stihl had dropped the pricing in their cats over the last couple of Years odd.But I decided that was because their headline prices were irrelevant anyway/and frightened the casual users off.Still, Engelbert Strauss still send me what seems like 40 Cats a year.Even there-I see disturbing trends creeping in-clothes for windswept gels/clobber for adventurous small persons,and some very disturbing bright/dayglo colours creeping into their ranges.

I mean if you're looking for a cutting edge,excitingly ground-breaking Tomato var. for instance,you need to pore over say,3 pages of several seed merchants latest offerings.On the other hand if you're in the market for a stihl pro saw-again,you need to pore over the prices/stats,weights etc.This you cannot do online.Taint the same-at all.

I’m with you, a real copy is far easier
