Default Audi Umbrella

Popped in to Audi to get 2 new tyres, while there I mentioned the large Audi branded umbrella.
They said they will sort me out with one, I was expecting to pay the £30-£50 for one but when I was walking out to the car with the service rep he said he put one in the car for me and don't worry about paying.

I was happy.

Here's some pics.

Badge in the base and a protective cover.


Cover half off

Check out the Audi branding. Next stop baseball cap and jacket!!


Lovely shaft

Fitted in the car.

And a video.


Enjoy.

Nice - could do with one to replace the tatty Seat branded one we have from our LCR owning days! Wonder if they'll have any at ADI?

Find out which dealer is going and give then a ring?

None of the VAG traders had one for sale at Inters.

Don't suppose it had a part number on it? Don't remember seeing an umbrella listed in Etka lately?!

Wow, the video totally completes your post! Which production company made it?
Seriously, great accessory and excellent price!
I Love that the "Brelly" is always on top - no digging for it.

I would faint if an Audi dealer here in the US gave me anything but a dirty look.

This summer on a road trip in Ankeny, Iowa the Audi dealership manager gave me a keychain as consolation for being unable to sell me a couple hats ("The girl with the keys has gone home, sorry"). Next day drove 20 miles out of our way and, despite expecting us, "The Girl" had gone home early, and we were told the manager was at lunch.
The friend who was considering, on my advice, an Audi over the car she was ready to buy, decided to go with the lesser vehicle right then.

That's the new 4K Sony camera. Amazing quality you'd agree.

Some dealers just don't get it.

Try this.

Neat! I want one!

There's one on fleabay that looks the same:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-Large...-/151434968234

EDIT: Just noticed this one has already been posted


I think I'd prefer a more compact brolly myself though, something I can tuck away in a cubbyhole, like this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-Pocke...-/271554333685
Though that one's a tad pricey.

Audi Stockport had a branded full size brolly when I was in last week checking if my cat was cracked: that was £19.99, but I'm not sure it was the same one...
