Re: [OT-fun?]What do you call a group of Sciroccos??

[Eric L Ellis <elf16v@juno.com>]

I vote "a SCORCH of scirocco"

-a BLOW of corrado...for the G60's
-a STREAM of jetta (bad for yellow ones)

and I'm thinking:
-a DUNG of beetle (for the new one)
&
-a CLUB of golf

and for the mexican VWs...
-a TOILET of volkswagenos

Good, bad...I'm the guy with the gun!
