Well, some things don't change
Driving around in my brand new A4 Avant (well, it's a hire vehicle whilst Albert is on long term loan to VW technical) I popped into my local MB Dealership.
"Can I have a look at a new V Class please"
Bored sales - person "don't have one ... only in our Southampton branch"....
"Southampton is 40 miles away .... can you organise me a test drive?" .....
I got told to go to Southampton.
"When do you anticipate seeing the Marco Polo".....Dazed, glazed, look .... the lips working to mumble a reply whilst brain searching all available neurons for "marco polo"....
I saved him the trouble ...... "I'll pop over to Southampton when they have one".......
Yep, the sort of enthusiasm only matched by certain VW van centres.
I climbed back into my nice shiny 30 miles on the clock Audi avant, thought briefly about popping off to my BMW dealer to ask for a trade in ........ then decided Europe Hire wouldn't be best pleased
