a Scirocco list CALL TO ACTION!!! (So Rantorific)
Hm, never really looked at it that way, I always classified the Air Cooled
versions as rolling farts. My Wife is a big Air Cooled fan, now that erks
her.
Anyhoo, I think what I was trying to say was that while the newer VW's are
very cool, and many are owned by long time VW owners, I think there are alot
of bandwagoneer's. I say welcome to the club but don't make a mockery of
the moniker. Does that make sense? Sounds good.
