Rassig - USA
 

Here's my baby that I bought new back in 1986! :cool:

old fart ;)

Nice... welcome!! I love Chicago :D

Next time you're in Chicago, look me up so this, uh...
"old guy" can show you where all the cool places are...
and where the action is! :cool:

oh no doubt, when i ever get enough money to "do america" i will be spending alot of time on couches of vortexers if they let me ;)

No problem! I've got a spare bedroom and comfortable fold-out couch in the living room. However, you may wake up with one or two 14 pound cats sleeping next to you! :D

Futon!

Wow, so you bought this new??? You must be really happy with it!
I flew over the windy city two weeks ago, hell of a view from 36000 feet!

Welcome to the board mate enjoy !

Apart from a few window regulators and the dreaded self-machining trans back in '96, it's been extremely reliable. In fact, even at 165k mikes, I still have the original waterpump, AC compressor, fuel pumps... and even the rear tail lamp and front blinker bulbs! :)
I just replaced the starter and and alternator last year!

Dude, where is all the action over there? I am near Chicago right now (Charleston Ill.)

Nice car, but those f(r)og lights... better get rid of it

:confused: They're Bosch Pilot fog lamps that were on the car as delivered by the dealer. I actually like 'em and think that they are "period correct" in regards to the old school look. Most importantly, I only turn 'em on when it's rainy or foggy.

Or...
are you suggesting that f(r)og lights are something only for French cars? :D

BTW, I'll soon be replacing my crappy US spec aeros with some e-code aeros! :)

Since I don't know what "scene" you are into, here are two good places to start:

NHF, OK. ;) If you take it from the oldskool perspective alright. Just a matter of personal taste, that's all...

I really need that frontbumper :(
I'm flying over to NY in May; I hope I can still buy them at the local VW dealer there...
