Yea, I think that Scirocco had a 4 foot shoehorn in the trunk that the
guy used to wedge that motor in.  I commend that guy's ingenuity!  It
was pretty obvious that the car was still a year away from utter
slickness.  He said it's slammed way too far down on the suspension, and
it rides rougher than hell!  But he drove it there, and it ran, so cool!
I still favor the g60 setup strongly vs. the VR6

That was a great show!

Oh, by the way, I was looking for smoked corner markers for my wife's
Jetta...$44.95 at some booth there...went to the Hella
trailer...$20.00...Guys, it DOES pay to shop!
