Sorry about your misfortune, but think of it as a "feature" from now on.

I once had a clutch cable break in my '75 while in Philly. I used the "start it in gear" feature to drive the car 40 miles home. Quite a few lights! But it can be done and you just shift carefully once you get going. I seem to recall reading about using this "feature" in the John Miur books on fixing VWs.

Good luck with the repairs. Let us know the knickname...
