Wednesday should be okay. Remember I live in New Jersey.

I collect brocheurs from around the world. I just received a Passat and
Golf from someone I helped in Holland. I also just got several Audi
A3,A4,A6,A8 and several VW Polo,Passat,Cabby. All from Germany. I also have
a brocheur that shows the assembly route of new VW thru Hall 54. I will
scan and send to you when I get a chance.
