Fathers VW's- Part 2. Scirocco. Wind of Change

I am convinced that I saw the Scirocco headlights blink in the bright sunlight as the wooden doors of garage number 6 were fully opened yesterday. The car is in excellent condition save a bit of dust, some strange animal footprints (Meerkat, possibly) and a couple of flat tyres. Alex and Sam were convinced that Doc Brown had left the car for safe-keeping as the tapered bonnet edge and lights are very De Lorean-esque. The flux capacitor was nowhere to be seen-(stolen by the very same Meerkat who was careless enough to leave a trail and now, no doubt, attached to a Moskvitch or Lada within the old Soviet Bloc). Dominic crawled in through the hatchback door with no regard for his Chino's and boating shoes heroically releasing the sun roof. Beckie and Jonathan were swiftly on the scene with buckets and brushes. Hannah, still in awe of Doms' reckless actions, was soon armed and dangerous with sponge and water but horrified at the various stages of dessicated spiders revealed when the manual wind down windows (what are they?) were operated. The carnage of arachnids confirmed that VW's are perfectly hermetically sealed suggesting that there may have been a surprising by-product of the brainchild of Mr Hitler and Ferdinand Porsche. Kubelwagen-People's Car- VW- Tuppervare. William, putting chamois aside, captured the now sparkling coupe on camera. No one really minded that the Scirocco remained rooted to the spot or that Gene Hunt stood idle close by, seemingly frustrated that all cloths and buckets were already in full use.
