Umm yes, when parked.

Won't drive, as it'll only turn left, I guess the rack is FUBAR. I bought a new rack.

This is #2, I bought it as a parts car, but it ran, rough. The the rack thing happened before I got it inspected.

At least it's in my garage where I can look at it.

The other one is at my rental house garage (LONG story), I don't get to see that one much. Both in pieces.

Last time I drove this one:

Then a super long saga & title issues.

Where do you find them, they're pretty rare here in Nova... unless I want a Cabrio :/

Bought both before kids. One was from local SCCA chapter forum, other was local VW club.

They pop up on CL from time to time. Caddys too.

What's it like under the hood, I'm used to American cars and I can't fathom jumping to a VW overnight.

Not too bad.

Although you have to remove / install from the bottom

Also mk1 rabbits were made in US, cabbies weren't though.

Snowflakes are the best.

wow... I'll keep my eye out...

If my Vic proves to be too much I'll look into one of these for my next vintage fix.
