I know where you are coming from Lee. Same situation with me. I bought my first VW in 1980, a diesel rabbit L. I bought a 1983 GTi in March of 83, a month before my oldest son was born. he drove that GTi to college his freshman year. I raced that GTi at Keystone in 1986, and my wife raced it there in 1987.( picked up a small block 74 Nova to race) Most sundays it was the only 4 cyl FWD car on the track. I have owned air cooleds(a beetle and type 3 fastback) and water cooleds. Bunch of bunnys, a Rocco, and a few cabbys. I agree, the whole water cooled scene is different, so i guess i am old too…LOL. So i usually take my 87 wolfsburg T.W. to local cruises while my wife takes the 69 SAAB.
