my new joy



Dang, a Pewter colored one! My 1st Scirocco was an 84 Pewter Colored 8V. I
loved that color and wish I had never gotten rid of it. I have not seen one
that color since. and the worst part is the guy that bought it trashed it.
Definitely keep it the original color as that is rare. I hope you can make
it to Cincy in 2006 so I can see it.
