well, i sent some email to vw of south africa,
inquiring into the possibility of them producing a dvd
with the volksiebus/microbus tv commercials (and maybe
magazine adverts?) on it in .mpg format. we'll see what
response i get ... probably "sorry, our lawyers tell us
we cannot do this as the commercials are the property
of the advertising agency" or some such. :( that was
the response i got from vw of germany when asking if
copies of the magazine ads were available from them.

if anyone on the list in germany has any info/influence
with vw, would you ask around and see if such a product
would be possible from them as well?  i would imagine
that it would be something very marketable ...
especially if they produced a dvd for each car type ...
like golf and jetta and eurovan and our beloved
vanagons. ;) even the old stuff, if they still have it.
