d off a large patch of laquer; several months trying to convince VW that a brand new £120.00 Continental tyre which they had been fitted as one of a front pair, had a slow leak, before it was finally replaced; and the latest saga of collecting the car after a £316.00 long life service, to drive away to the sound of a metallic screeching and then be told by the mechanic who did the service, that had he heard the noise he would have added as an advisory for attention on the invoice, when I had taken the vehicle in only 7500 miles from the last full service in completely working condition. Needless to say after all this anguish I now have a working VW Beetle Cabriolet, which I am still convinced, was designed and built not fit-for-purpose, other than the underpinning of the superb running gear and an air-con system which has proved absolutely fit for purpose during the recent unusual hot weather spell.

tely stressful! So, today I said to myself, "Just follow links and learn something. That's all you have to do.
You don't have to go back or "go" anywhere. Just ENJOY yourself. It's not as if you will "get lost." So, I did. Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop.... who knows where all I went. Not caring, not thinking that much, just ripping around. And then I realized something. Everywhere I went was a place that you had already been! There's something tremendous in that, you know? I even found places that I had already been and posted comments on and then forgotten all about, and you had been there too, and there's what you said and what I said... and then the metaphor of the quilt came up, and I saw that if I follow your links, it's as if you have sewn the world for me...
