I dont mean to sound like an ass or anything, but i thought this was the
Scirocco.org mailing list. designed for scirocco use? Dont get me wrong i
can understand a few post now and again about other topics. And i know i
have a delete key. But it seems  like more and more people are posting stuff
about other types of cars and , lots of dirrent things. Im not trying to
break any ones balls here, its just that im kinda tired of seeing stuff all
the time that is not scirocco related. Flame me if im out of line here.
