Thats the last time I try to come off as funny, I should face facts that I usually come off as a dork instead. As for the the steering, I'm all about manual steering! My former Scirocco was a manual. If I had the facilities and the donor rack, I would dump this one for a manual. One less belt, pump,...

"Somewhere" was my attempt at sounding mysterious :) . Anyhow, I think its shaping up to be a good-looking car. Certainly no Scirocco look-alike, but it looks like it will continue the 2+2 sporty VW coupe ideal that the Corrado left open. Speaking as a former :( Scirocco owner, I'd go for ...

Scirocco spy shots

This came up on the Vortex this morning, so in the interest of spreading the news far and wide here are spy shots of the Scirocco, somewhere in the southwest.

oooo,aaaaah, power steering

Abby is our fourth VW and the second with, drum roll, power steering. Abby is also the first to have power steering that makes noises. I don't know my way around this new-fangled piece of equipment yet, so humor me. It doesn't scream like a ford, but there is an audible wail when the wheel is turned...

Update: After looking at the space I had to work with, I went with the contact cement. After removing the door-half of the window scraper I found that the driver's side door card has a broken clip that allows the posterior half to flex. I think thats the reason the leather worked loose in the first ...

I just found this:

Check out golfcabrio.de for Volkswagen promotional stuff for the Cabriolet. They have folders in the wiki section that cover promotions for models from '79 on up.

Pics of A3 European Cabriolets wanted

I'm posting the same request on the vortex, so I apologize to anybody who has to look at my posts twice. I'm hunting for regular Cabriolet's, 1996-1997 Classic Edition (Germany) , 1997 Milestone Edition (Netherlands), 97 Sport Edition (Germany, and 97 Joker Edition (Germany). I've found a few pictur...

Abby went to her first show and got her first trophy,a Volkschoice award. I thought that might interest you William. Personally, I thought the Scirocco the 16v was attached to was not very attractive. It had been de-finned, debadged, with 12" wheels, and an odd choice of grill and headlights ap...

Omaha GTG

We went to the Omaha VW club's annual show and drag at Mid-America Motorway in Pacific Junction, IA. We were the only Golf-based Cabriolet, but everbody enjoys some good show pictures right? http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb42/scidanw/Omaha2007/PICT0002.jpg http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb4...

This is the company that makes the "light-hail resistant" cover (Coverbond4). Jetta sat out in light hail once, so I don't know how important that quality is.

I'll check out the VW all-weather cover too. Thanks for the tip! :)
