This circulated a while ago.  VW didn�t take kindly to this one. VW tracked
down the individuals that created it and filed suit in British court.  The
creators worked for an advertising company and were terminated by their
company.  It was another of the spoofs on the "polo built tough" slogan.
About a dozen in circulation.  From what VW said it didn�t take them long to
track it down.  Evidently anyone familiar with the London area could take a
fair guess as to the location.  From there, there were other clues in the
work that gave it away but they didn�t say what they were.
