Dear Jurgen,
Thanks for the advice on the damaged fender. It is most logical.
Regarding the Volkswagen, and N*zis, I'd be lying if I said I was sorry
that I referred to it in such manner, though I admit that what I uttered
is an extremely offensive reference, despite the true origins of the
company.
So, since innocent people will be offended, from now on, I will just think
it (over and over and over) rather than say it.
BTW, I was not aware that Porsche also had its origins with the N*zi's. I
was under the impression that Herr Porsche's renowned firm and its cars
somewhat predated Hitler and Volkswagen.
;-)
Also, my missus and I are strongly considering the purchase of a VW
Passat.
