Fwd: Another VW

[rocco.crossing at gmail.com (Rhett Farnum)]

Well here is the link to the pics from yesterday after I got the car to my
buddy's garage. And that is the butt of my mutt of a truck towing it also.
It drives pretty nice after I got a CV and pass ball joint under it.

VWs, if I rememeber right.

Nice save on the GTI, too bad it is a mk2:)  Hope it treats you well.  They
are heavier but are sexy in their own way.  My buddy has a silver one with
16" gold rims and looks great.
