Re: Insurance for your Scirocco...Now glad I drove the Volvo today

["David Guido" <guido_david@hotmail.com>]

As fate would have it I took the Volvo to run some chores yestarday...almost 
took the MK1, I mean I was out the door with the keys when I suddenly 
changed my mind. Good thing that happened since I got taged my some 
half-blind 70 yo "blue hair" in her big buick thingy
while stopped at a light- would have ruined those perfect euro-bumpers I 
still have on the MK1!

Gratefully,

David G
