AMT/ Ertl Scirocco kit - Status Report 9/14/98

[scirocco.gtx@juno.com (Mark A Peele)]

Matchbox/AMT used to make a very nice SCIROCCO MK1 kit.

If you are new to the list, please read all the stuff below and follow
the link to view an image of the kit.

Allright Scirocco lovers, this lazy sucker is ready to fire a letter off
to Ertl (I finally finished my draft).

IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY EMAILED ME IN SUPPORT OF THE RE-ISSUE, PLEASE DO
SO IMMEDIATELY.

I am mailing this letter on Tuesday, September 22.

I will post a copy for the list to view/trash/use etc.

I need your input by September 21 (Monday)

RESPOND DIRECTLY TO ME PLEASE!

Mark . . .
Scirocco 1982, Golf GT 1987
