I'd better introduce myself, and my Scirocco. I'm Mark, a life long VW enthusiast, both air and water cooled, and live on the Derby/Notts border.
A few years back I owned an '88 GTX in Pewter Grey, after I sold it the regret sunk in pretty quickly, but wasn't in a position to get another one until this year. Back in the summer I started looking for a Scirocco, but a Mk2 Golf GTI was also on the short list but my wife has one, so did we need two? Long story short I also looked at Corrado's too and ended buying one. I think I bought it in sympathy and ignored all the lessons I had learnt over the years. Earlier this month I had to make my decision to stick with it or cut my losses and move on. The decision was made, and the hunt for a Scirocco was on - as if by some turn of fate, a car that kept catching my eye before I bought the Corrado was back up for sale, so I spoke to the owner and a deal was done. I took delivery of it last Tuesday, and although it hasn't been on the road for nearly 10 years, after a service and good check over, it passed it's MOT on Friday - very pleased!!
Weather permitting, I'll get some more photo's up this week.
Plans - keep it standard, improve it cosmetically and mechanically, and most of all - use it!!
