A friend of mine living near Bunbury, Western Australia, has a German friend of advancing years.

My friend bought two Volkswagon Golfs for the use of the family.

Herr. Schmidt arrived and asked to see them.

My friend said that that German cars were excellent.

Herr. Schmidt harrumphed, "these cars are crap. Not German, made in South Africa!"
