That's because he is still banned surprisingly. Unless he logs in under an alias name.

Not sure I could trust driving my family around knowing that the car I bought could in a few years catch fire. Just couldn't live with myself knowing I put my family in such danger.
Hopefully Hulk's Aurion still has that magical "Kangaroo Avoidance System" or "KAS", whilst maintaining its Five Star crash rating - which allows him to ponder the plight of others in non five star cars. I believe it's part of the "Worry About Nothing Knowledge Equals Responsibility System" - or ******* for short.

As far as VW latest so called pollution problem, I for one would not be taking it back too only loose more power and use more fuel.
Sure some claim you may die due to the ADR standard not being met, but that's a load of hogwash, boy I am now living in fear of starting up my XA GT Hardtop, but then again I have up dated the PCV on it to the 1974 type
