Warren,

That would have been the old Walters Donaldson VW dealer on old Country Road. They went 
out of business right after I bought my '89 Wolfsburg Jetta from them.  I believe it was 
around early 1990.  The Jaguar dealer your refering to apparently has replaced them but 
several years later.  BTW I also noticed what you saw with the sales people. All the 
guys were coming back with smiles.  I wonder what that was all about.
