Roccos and Newborns

[jtoomasson at yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

Congratulations to you too, Brad!  And thank you to all the well-wishers!

The idea of having to put a car seat in the back of a scirocco actually made
me uneasy - toss in the fact that I would only be running euro bumpers and
the resulting safety margin pushed me away from having a scirocco as a DD.

Hence, I went out and got a '93 5spd 535i - "the Family Truckster"  :p
