How I stopped worrying and learned to love VW dealers.

I have just come back from a 3500 Mile round trip to do some filming on a
beach in Spain.    The exhaust started to blow on the way down so when the
job was over I called the local VW dealer and asked them to fit a new
exhaust.

Answer ... YES
Question . When?
Answer ... Two weeks were busy.

Turns out that there is not a single exhaust in Spain so it would have to
come from Germany.  I ask if they can bodge the old one to get me home.
NO.  Don't even think about bringing your Van here.

So what did I do ?

I drove into the Ford garage.   They gave me coffee, sympathty, welded up
the exhaust and didn't charge me a penny.
