Sold the 88 944 NA today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Using $$ to fund /6 project for Racecar. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) .
I will have about $1500 left over from my project so......What do you guys know about VW Scirocco's? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I have always liked the looks, but have never driven one. Found a 84 that looks interesting. I would use it to be just a around town car. |

Rocco's were cool. If you get one, get the 16 valve version. Otherwise, its going to seem totally anemic - cause it is. They were sporty FWD cars long before sporty FWD cars were popular, and can be made to handle very well.
But if it were my money, I'd get a corrado. Zach |
