As long as I understood they did not know what is
the difference between writing to mailing list and
owning an e-mail address.

They found my site and tought I lived close enough
to give it a try and I was the only foreign person there.
All the guys from Holland, Germany and Poland
considered it to be a too long trip.

Well, I didn't. :) for me it was only 650km (410mi) trip.

No I'm not fuel injected, my fuel has to be poured in! :)

And a very tasty idea! I never knew the Scirocco could taste so good!

No they took the back piece of the scirocco where you connect the rear
wheels and suspension and everything and then connect it to the frame
of the scirocco. Then you remove everything fom it (Suspension, brake
drums and bads) and then youve got a separate piece that weights around
10kg and start pushing it up from your shoulders untill your arms are
straight
then let it down to your shoulders and up it goes again and so I did 111
times.

There was no time limit, if it where then I would have won it, it took me
around
3 minutes to push it 111 times but the guy who did 125 times played with
this
thing around 15 minutes. Hardest part was to tetermine how many times have
I pushed, because they counted LOUD and in Lithuanian, so I only stopped to
ask for a translation.

> >and towing the Scirocco for 20 meters.

No there where 2 person groups and the distance was around 20-30 meters
a bit up the hill, everybody towed the same scirocco (Beauty contest
winner).
And the time was the thing that mattered.

And you've got your answers.

I'll start Scanning in the evening!

And what did you do in here then? Where
you sleeping? Well, next time you come here
you pick up a phone on the street and call
05059414 and I'll give you a tour on the city.
Its a free service for Scirocco listers didn't you
know?
