Re: Re: VW Scirocco 1 Beef

["Ian" <e@sbbs.se>]

VW still makes the Beetle (hecho en mexico - a phrase every A3 owner will be
familiar with!) so I would assume Beetle parts would still be widely
available, however with Roccos being made into the 90's in Europe and the
Cabriolet going until 92 or 93 in the US many parts will be available for a
while yet.  Or am I just being naive?

I say we (the list) pool our money and buy EVERYTHING left! That way, we
won't have to worry about non-aryans (read that: "non-Scirocco-lovers")
stealing our parts.

Seriously, this sucks. I may not own a Mk1, but I'm sure Mk2s are next on
the list. Do they still make stuff for the Beetle, or is it all 3rd party
now?
