History Rocco 'Gale'

I've always like the Scirocco, and remember seeing one parked across the road on the drive. I remember it being a grey GT and not driven very often by the lady that owned it. Since then, I've always liked them, but never thought I'd own one.

I passed my test and bought a VW Polo couple Mk2 C reg ...

Which oil debate resurrected again

1. I drove all ...
