It *was* a success!
Got the 16v recovered from Long Island on Saturday. It was quite a day!
Left at 7am from DC, went to Baltimore to pick up a TT Jetta exhaust at a
friend's house (that added an extra hour to the trip). Arrived at UHaul at
about 2:30pm (driving Chevy Suburban for tow vehicle - OINK!). They *did*
have the auto trailer for me! Got the 16v saddled up by 4pm at the guy's
house; comforted him for a bit as he weeped... Headed off for NYC (cause
you can't drive certain roads with trailers) and all the party traffic
heading into the city <groan>. Everyone behind us pays heed to the trailer
impinging on their lanes (tiny lanes at that) and only a few try quick
darting passes. Out of NYC (BQE) and on to Peter's house in DE for a parts
swap (the TT exhaust). Arrive there at 8:30pm. Look at his Mk1's and chat
a bit (almost are eaten by his dogs!!! hehe) and hit the road at 9pm.
Arrive in suburban DC around 11pm. A real long 16 hour trip for my 16v, but
it was worth it.
Here's what was cool - my father (age 59) and I drove up there together;
he's the one that got me started in cars. We had a blast. I thanked him
and told him I didn't think too many fathers were cool enough to do
something like that.
So.... now I got the 16v....
"but now.. tell me.... are you... (16v) Experienced???"
