Just sitting in the back seat takes some agility...it wouldn't be my car =
of
choice for said activities...but then I'm old anyway.

Anyway, on the topic...

My hubby (aka Mr Mopar) is actually getting into it. He saw a silver MkI =
that
had been at the track for "Fast and Furious" Fridays, anyone on the list?=

Anyway, he stopped to talk to the guy for a while, I wasn't there...


But I did go into town for some 94 octane (for the noble purpose of whomp=
ing
Hondas at the track) and stopped by the local cruise night. The guy at th=
e
gate is usually really snotty unless you are driving something North Amer=
ican,
with a big V8 and the accompanying chrome, and it has to be 70s or earlie=
r.
I've gone down in my Ford truck (an 88) and had the same attitude. So I k=
ind
of give him a questioning look, and he waves me in!!! Now this is in the =
87,
so it's out on all accounts, but he says to me "You don't see many Sciroc=
cos
any more" !!! I parked between some 70s vintage stuff (the car sure looke=
d
tiny) and went to chat with a buddy who has a Beetle. But this was from a=

vintage V8 guy, it was kinda neat.


Rocco content...Oh, I guess that was! No mechanical issues to report, we'=
ll
see what breaks today.
