Seen on Friday lunchtime when I was up at The Phirm was a mint looking Scala or GTII in Tornado Red on a J plate. The reason I couldn't identify it was the B pillar had a decal proclaiming that it was 20V. I asked the mechanic who was tuning mine up about the car and it apparently had an Audi TT engine it, hence the 20 valves :yup:

Spotted a white GT2 I think in the centre of Leicester at around 1pm today.


Four Sciroccos, four gone, but at least I know all parts from most current one went to good homes....

Five photos from the late 80's / early 90's of Sciroccos found randomly on flickr:

Sadly it seems that none of them are a going concern any more...

Silver non-bodykit mk2 crossing Edgware Road/ Shoot Up Hill on Sunday afternoon, from Mapesbury Road into Mill Lane. Given the rarity of such cars it was possibly the one I saw in Golders Green a couple of years ago, since it was headed in that rough direction.
