What transmission would YOU recommend?
Well imagine that. Just waltz right in and ask Q's about Sciroccos. AND if
you know Kirsten, you must be trouble. Sheesh, the nerve of the man :)
On my old 8v I loved the FF with its tall 5th Good on gas and quiet on the
highway.
BTB. Welcome to the list :) Say Hio to her for us!
