An engineer friend was posted to Saudi for a year in the 70s and was given a company car : VW "Bus". No choice. The company had tried many cars and found the air cooled VW engine best for desert regions!
Does anyone else remember the imaginative adverts Volkswagon had? I especially recall one that was an entire page, all white space with tiny letters centered "Think small" Real eye catcher in days of overblown, over illustrated, over colored adverts.
wow
