Just out of interest, but how big do you estimate the South African market size to be for this? And if looking at it globally, would Americans be will to trust personal data to a South African business or any business for that manner? Especially in light of the recent coups by Anon and Lulz? Btw South African too!

I'm a bit of a Mercedes enthusiast. They began making cars in SA some years back. I'm always surprised at the number of owners I talk to who actively seek to avoid the South African built cars. It's possible to do because each model has at least some German production, but it often means a special order and waiting months for the car to sail over.

People are strange. I think a lot of Americans especially do not really know how to categorize South Africa.
