Re: 8V's as opposed to 16V's

Kevin,

Just checked my records.  I bought my Rocco 16V on 8/24/86.

I remember it was a Sunday.  I had just traded in my tan '80 Rabbit Diesel for
the Rocco.  The difference between the 2 cars was like night & day (as it should
have been).

I remember I borrowed $12000 to get the car.  That was a big chunk of change back
in those days.  Thirteen years later, she's long since been paid for, but I must
admit I've sunk quite a bit into repairs, etc. since the 2 year warranty expired.
