She said, to me anyway, that it was her car and someone put an engine in
it, then her boyfriend drove it over a big rock, poked a hole in the oil
pan and siezed the motor before she got to drive it.

I guess what i was implying with the above is that I was going to drive
out to check it out, but instead of sending me pictures she put it on
ebay, no biggie as im buying a different rocco, but dont feel i have to
tell her deals off anymore ;)

Hmm, i had a friend with an 84 wolfsburg with a 16v kit, he thought it
came that way, but he doesnt know VW's newer than 67 at all really i defer
to this list as having greater wisdom on roc's.

In the future that might be a good idea :) maybe i'm too used to the world
of splitwindow VW busses where about 50% of the people on the list at a
given time would step on their mothers face while stabbing you in the back
to get a shot at whatever part you had a deal going on so they could brag
about how they paid $0.25 for it, and then offer the same part for sale 1
week later for $1599.00 FIRM!!! (no, i'm not bitter)

So, is this list better about that?

thanks a lot for the advice,

Steve
