I agree. Sorry to hear of the car troubles - what a bother. Nothing is easy with cars anymore. Our little Nissan Cube is giving us a bit of bother. Nothing that a trip or three to the parts store to set things right. At least this we can fix!MrsDuncanMahoganyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14530532280823055509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-21702054673596566212016-09-24T19:45:03.255+02:002016-09-24T19:45:03.255+02:00I've driven many VWs that were quite reliable....I've driven many VWs that were quite reliable.

On the way home from the dealership (about a mile down the road) the stick shift got stuck in 1st gear. She went back to the dealership and they gave her a loaner for the rest of the weekend!!! She was starting to get bad vibes and after that had MANY problems with the stick shift getting stuck and forever having to go to the dealer. This was around the time of her divorce and she did not want to get stuck anywhere and not have a "backup" (i.e. from hubby), so she traded it in for a Chevy Chevette, which was much more reliable, but had problems which will be told another time!!<br /><br />So glad Sophie is getting better.<br /><br />ttfn and toodle pip<br /><br />CookieCookie's Commentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01826035733742056109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-80114393120615167662016-09-24T17:09:10.866+02:002016-09-24T17:09:10.866+02:00A wonderfully told story about the car dealership!...A wonderfully told story about the car dealership!

That way we could meet them and bring them into the house without a lot of fanfare. Both of our dogs get very excited when visitors step onto the front porch and ring the bell. We were given a very stern lecture before bringing Ada and Sofie home that sudden jerky movements would set the healing back - or heaven help us - require another surgery. Once we approached the four week mark of recovery and were increasing the dogs' exercise, we were able to relax a bit.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about the less than positive delivery of the new VW.

But the whole whipping off the tarpaulin act does make sense of a comment from a colleague last week. We were supposed to be evaluating a gas field which a certain Anglo-Dutch company are trying to sell. But said company had provided so little data, and even that was so heavily 'redacted' that my colleague commented "its like you go to buy a car and they want you to pay before removing the tarpaulin"... <br />Cheers! Gail. <br />PS So glad Sophie made her movement in the end. I hope your reserves of patience are holding up after all this weeks events.

Perhaps the little Skoda wasn't too bad after all? I expected to read they had loaned you that to drive home in !<br />Poor Sophie, though she must surely be enjoying all the extra attention....everyone watching and waiting.
