How I got home this afternoon...

Sorry to hear of your troubles, Jeff...  Hey, at least it happened when you
had just Ice and not nitro glycerine, right?  There is always that?  ;-)

BTW, that red Mk1 is TITS dude!  (Sorry ladies, it fits this one)...  I do
lament the fact I had to give up on building my Mk1 when I see pics like
that...   (GRRR)

Subject: How I got home this afternoon...

Two hours before my son's first birthday party, expecting 50+ people
(including lil'uns), my Scirocco decides to remind me that it shall not
be neglected.

Let me know what you find wrong with this picture:

Had to take it to the grocery store 5-ish miles away (though through
high traffic areas) to get the cake and ice because my Mom decided it
would be a good idea to park where it would block the driveway. Rather
than move her Camry, I decided that I would give the old beast a workout
given the fact that I would have to drive it all this week because my
mother-in-law will be using my wife's car and wife gets the M5...

Four blocks from the store, the battery light comes on and the voltmeter
starts dropping. "Not now, please??!" I say. Though I seemed mired in
traffic, I managed to get to the store parking lot and found that my
alternator tensioner bolt to the cylinder head SHEARED off. Begged one
of the clerks to give me a coat hanger so I could MacGuyver it and
thankfully, I made it home with the cake and 5 bags of ice....why of all
times does this car pick this one to make me sweat it out?? So, guess
what I'm doing tomorrow??  :)

Another, prettier, roc shot for the day:

I love these cars why, again??  :)
