[Re: a Scirocco list CALL TO ACTION!!!]

I think that it is a great idea.

We can work out a statement, and send it to the editor, with something like
50+ signature/email. The comment on the article about the blue Scirocco
("The modified Sciroccos may be a disappointing rarity"), is a reason why I
usually don't buy this rag. Still, an intelligent and diplomatic answer from
a whole bunch of Scirocco owners ought to have them think twice about
slamming any kind of VWs. If they don't publish such letter to the editor,
you can be pretty sure that they are just a bunch of whinners.

FYI, last month, in the same column, somebody was whinning about Audis TT.

Having read a few listers posts to this thread since reading the actual
article I can definitly see the flame throwers are quickly reaching full
temps.

However I propose something.

I think we should colectively make a single responce.  I think it should
aslo be one that does speak for the collective in a mannor that doesn't make
us look like a bunch of whinning ass's or spoiled teenagers.  It should be
well worded and contain no vulgariy or slamming of any kind.  We can roast
the jackass all day long here on the list and most noone would be any the
wiser.  After all, since we are the largest, if not close to the largest
collective group of Scirocco owners, why would we want to come off like a
bunch of morons?

Maybe the letter can include a small (white lie) applogy that a fellow
scirocco owner/admirer called the US golfs ugly.  But it should also state
that seeing more rocco's in "any" VW publication that showcases water cooled
VW's wouldn't be something we are against.  I think no matter what kind of
VW you own, when you see the same kind of modle you have in a mag you kinda
get that feeling of pride as if it were your own car on the pages, even more
so if its someones car that you know.  I think we should even push for the
publishing of any A1's since they all get left out in the cold for the most
part.

With all the talk recently about trying to get rocco's/Cincy in the mag's,
the last thing we want to do is alienate any of the mag's or their readers.
An you know that if they get 50 nasty-grams they will definitly publish that
so that we get hung out to dry.

Now, before anyone sets their sights on my ass, this is just my opinion, no
one has to listen to me.

/me kindly gets off the soap box and returns to regularly scheduled bitching
elsewhere.
