Try #2 (was: 82 Sidewinger rocco)

[MK1Scirocco16v at comcast.net (Dave Ewing)]

Yeah, I just mentioned to my wife that someone on the list was looking for
information on an 82 Sidewinder Scirocco and she quickly responded that it
was earlier than 82 when they came out.  The story behind this statement is
that when her father was looking for a new car his brother had a Rabbit that
he was impressed with so he went looking for a VW in 78.  Even though the
salesman was trying to talk him into a Sidewinder, the Dasher was the better
choice since he had a family.  He tells me that story once in a while and
remembers that it was dark green with the snake on the hood.  HTH!

There are no mk2 sidewinders. The only limited # mk2's are you Callaway,
Slegato (127# in Canada only), and my California Edition (500#) (which will
be for sale soon). Any snake decals you've seen is someone purpetratin' !
Well, I  remember the introduction of my car in 82(as seen in Car and
Driver)
and I also remember this Aztec styled car.  Until I went out acquiring and
spent 30k fixing Uncle Rocco, no one would ever recall or remember.  That is
what restoring a rare car is all about. Bringing peoples attention to long
forgoten cars.   After continually owning roccos since I was 16, I thought
Uncle
Rocco was gonna be the last at my age. So I sought it out.  And paid big
time
money.  Now, I can't find ANYBODY with my car.  No one to talk to, compare
notes...nothing.

I want one of these rare serpents.  Shit...I had a dealership brochure on
this car, when I was a kid.  Now, I'm not saying your wrong and don't wanna
argue
it.  But I remember both these cars.  It seems that this Sidewinder is rarer
than my car.  And I'm up for the task. BUELLER?

I think you'll find the origine of the Team Scirocco Promotion products
based
on this VERY RARE RIDE.
