The white one was impressive, but I was a bit disappointed that it 
wasn't really that clean (esp in the engine bay) .  If I had a Rocco

showing it.  There were a few other cars there (the Passat comes to 
mind) that were pristine in comparison.

me about the shirt there and then asking about the mailing list.
