[all about special models] - California edition rocco???

[mkii_84 at yahoo.com (Andrew Wong)]

I made a post on vortex about the book, but forgot to
mention it was a small caption on the picture.  Also
just remembered, that one time someone on the list
offered a Car and Driver review of the 84 Scirocco
WOlfsberg edition, there was some information on the
California edition on it.  And shows a pic of it with
the X1 kit.  I can't find it, but I believe its on one
of the hard drives in the house
