Audi parts via VW dealers

> Was at the local VW dealer today and it seems that as of 1 Jan 07
Volkswagen
dealerships will no longer be able to sell Audi parts (And vice versa).
Understand this was a corporate decision by both VW and Audi and was
announced within the last month.

> In my case there isn't a Audi dealer within a hours drive. What a PITA!

(enter Micheal Palin, ex Monthy Python): 'You were lucky!'
Around these parts the VW dealer closed about 8 yrs. ago and, AFAIK, never
sold Audi parts.  Now the closest VW dealer not selling Audi parts is
2.5hrs. away.  Audi dealership?  ... about 6-7 hrs. drive  Who needs
them
anyway when VM's in business, 5.5 hrs. away.  Most human species are
adaptable
