I wonder if it will be like that?  The Passat had the same upholstery
and was _infested_ with the things.

Many years ago a female colleague of mine volunteered to abseil down the
Price Waterhouse building (about fifteen stories) for charity.  I said
I'd photograph her doing it, and took the 1200mm and tripod in to work.

Her allotted time got later and later, and I wound up staying alone in
the office until 1:00am.  I heard a tiny scratching sound, and turned
around to see a _huge_ house spider - body about 1/2" long and legs over
four inches across.  Easily four or five times the size of the standard
model.

I related this story a day or two later, and caused panic.  We had to
come in one Saturday and search the place until we found it to put the
secretaries' minds at rest.  I took it home in a diskette box and
released it into the attic here, where it should have been amomng
friends.
