Re: Hello!



Welcome to the list Jennifer.  It's always nice to hear of another 
MK1 Scirocco owner that likes thier car despite the peculiarities.  I 
own both a MK1 and MK2, but the MK1 is by far my favorite, just love 
the lines.  Hope the list will be of service to you and don't be 
afraid to speak up to us boy-types when we get out of line, which CAN 
happen. ;)

'Just a quick hello from a new lister--a non-boy-type, but
none-the-less vehement when it comes to defending my Scirocco! 
And yes, I can wield a wrench now and then, if it doesn't involve
anything more serious than checking a thermostat or tightening a belt.
 I think if you own a VW, you WILL end up wielding a wrench.
 For a time I lived in a town small enough where there were no
mechanics who would  touch a Volkswagon of any model--even water
cooled, so I had to learn to fix a few things on my own!  I do
love my '79 roc, though.  I can remember back to when I was a very
little girl, seeing one on a commercial for the first time--it was
during the Olympics, and VW introduced the Rabbit, the Dasher, and the
Scirocco all in one tv ad.  I quickly identified which one I wanted! 
And I'd wanted one ever since.  I'm not sure this one is a collector,
though.  The body's not perfectly straight and some idiot repainted it
the wrong colour before I got it.  But that engine, it just keeps
going and going--going on 200K now.  I can never complain when it
breaks down, it's always something simple: a relay or a thermoswitch. 
I wish I could say that about my other cars.  Oh, I'm sure my day will
come for bigger repairs, but not today.  Today I shall just rejoice in
the knowledge that others are as enamored as I am.
