[T3] patience rewarded


At last. After months of calling and visiting the shop
i bought an NOS-bumper. The owner told me this spring
he was sure he had a Type III bumper somewhere laying around
for already 25 years in a seperate storage. The only problem 
was to find it there and bring it to the shop. 
Every time i called or visited he told me to try again tomorrow 
or the day after. I did, leaving a week or so in between. 
I think I must have telephoned about 30 times and visited 
the shop about 8 times. I remained polite and so did he though 
the waiting-time was absurd. When he showed me the old style 
rear bumper today and asked 38$ (thirty-eight) for it i had a 
hard time not smiling. I said "We're not gonna discuss this 
price". He said "no, you shouldn't, if you would sell this 
bumper at a VW-event you could get twice as much". I said 
"I'm sure you would".
