Re: Twin Motor Scirocco

Honestly,

At this point, (remember my first post said that I saw it in 1990!) I don't
remember if it was a wishbone front-type suspension. What I do have burned
in my memory is that it was really low, and really tight fitting with some
big-ol' springs for the suspension.

We should ask if Dirk will be in the area anytime soon, and have him take a
few photos. :)
