Picked up the Passat from Newport VW earlier.
As part of the service, there were 3 minor recalls to carry out.
On collection, the service manager gave me a bottle of champagne as a 'goodwill gesture' due to the inconvenience caused by the recalls. (Wasn't inconvenient, 'cos it was done as part of my service..... so a big 'well done' to Newport VW for handing over the bottle of booze anyway)
You forgot the quotes, as in "Champagne" ;)
Lanson Black Label. Proper stuff.
Post corrected.
They may as well have given you a bottle of Asda Charlemagne...
Since when were Scousers experts on the stuff. I thought the closest you lot got to champagne was Lambrini..... although Black Label would be more appropriate for that neck of the woods.
Anyway, it's about 25 quid a bottle in Tescos, so I'm more than happy with that.
Lambrini, sponsors of the Welsh women's hockey team. Wouldn't they have a good idea of their market?
cheers, clive
Lambrini is actually knocked together somewhere in Kirkby, doesn't mean I drink it.
Besides, a Manc living in a South Welsh sink estate really shouldn't be judging Scousers.
Naturally, it's below average quality stuff with an above average price tag. Has it got a soft touch bottle?
*snort*
*everyone* has the right to judge Scousers.
Everyone apart from you.
Well, at least I can console myself that I don't live in a pikey shitehole like Liverpool.
It's the carbuncle on the arse of humanity up there.
Oh FFS can't you spout off about your standard barge elsewhere? Like the VW newsgroups. Or the Alfa newsgroups. Or anywhere but this one, eh?
Guys, guys... there's no need to squabble - it *all* taste like crap :)
To be fair though, if this group was modded cars only, there would be about
1 post a year :-)
Heh. Maybe.
I put a GTi steering wheel on the Puglet yesterday. Woooooooooooo!
Might polybush some of the Volvo this morning if I can be arsed. Double woooooooooooo for me!
Then this afternoon I'm getting drunk and playing on a bouncy castle. Triple woooooooooooo!
In news: snipped-for-privacy@mid.individual.net, Carl Gibbs wittered on forthwith;
Apart from the Granada - which is donating its innards this week, I don't own an unmodified vehicle at the moment, triple woo with extra mayo!
Have you ever thought it might be a _really_ bad idea to start a pissing competition over this?
Nope.
I *own* my house, it's *paid for*, it's not in South Wales. I win.
Well, so do I. But I live 15 mins from the Brecon Beacons National Park.
I know where I'd rather live.
