That would be the new for 2000 Scirocco. Very nice, I got a chance to try one on this past weekend in Albuquerque. The $445 price tag made for a rapid doffing per Mrs. Dash's instructions. LaterZ Dash

I agree, but mail-order on the First Gear stuff from various venders usually runs around $100 less. I`ve found this out with Kilimanjaros. Skip

Has anyone seen this new stuff available through a mail-order house? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages with Yahoo!
