Can we begin the count down to Cincy 2012 now?

[crazyaboutrocs]

[scirocco*joe]

Getting close to the 60 day countdown! I guess I gotta look into getting those wheels refinished. Engine will not be in before Cincy. But I'm feeling fine about that. Having a blast playing with the new house!

[Chris16vRocco]

I have to get wheels refinished, suspension purchased and installed, dash swapped back to the correct one, headlights relayed, etc.

T-65 days

T-65 days

WHYYYYYYYYYYY is this not at the top. Is nobody excited about Cincy???? What the heck?????

I am still not sure which one I will be driving. I think it is technically Klausie's turn, since her silverness was there last weekend and purple went to the main event last year. But I could bring any of them...suggestions?

One trick not in the Bentley is: the width of the brake light socket (12V/21W) is the exact needed clearance (shifter in neutral whilst the adjustment).
With a new shift linkage repair kit thrown into the game it is like a new car.
A german folding rule will also do well.

Oh the clearance is fine. What is not fine is the length of one of the rods. It is all heim joints. I can adjust a normal one. This one is much more of a pain due to the level of disassembly required to adjust it. And I use a cassette tape case for the space....how old skool is that? THAT is not the problem with mine. Though I have no doubt that Fredy and many others could sort mine out. It is a Scott Rose solid one, who remembers those?

I need to figure out what will be happening around June....man

If I recall, this is the only thing on the June calendar. You signed a deal for this when you got the car, remember?

I'll be getting back from a week in Munich, followed by a week in Dublin a few days before Cincy. Is that going to be a problem?

[Chris16vRocco]

Not at all, but by the sound of things you'll need the few days before Cincy to sober up.

I'm jealous. Looks like we have to wait until next year to do this again.

The first half of the trip is work related, but even my co-workers have warned me of te dangers of alcohol poisoning

Lucky dawg.

You sound like my 9 yr old. Everything is 'what the heck'

[16VScirrocco88]

car has not been driven since Sept-Nov of last year, still need to pull the trans and figure out what is wrong and fix it.

put new exhaust on.

who knows might not make it this year

[cuppie]

So, drive a Kia.

Would we love to see the 'rocco? Of course! But, it's not just about the cars, you know.

no KIA in my stable right now

[cuppie]

"Kia" = "non-Scirocco vehicle."

Oh, and: t-minus 63 days now.
(62, if you consider it as starting on Friday. We're counting down to Saturday, right? Just to be clear?)

Cincy starts on Friday, so we count down to Friday. See, we are now a day closer.
Chris, you've been to Munich before, haven't you? If not and want to know any great places to see, just ask.
Looked at my "to-do" list on the Slegato and compared to the one I made for the, what I thought was ready to go 16V, and it looks like we will be bringing the Slegato to Cincy-almost for sure.

[Chris16vRocco]

"Kia" = "non-Scirocco vehicle."

I'm sure he is well aware of what a Kia is.

His Scirocco is his only car.

[cuppie]

And, I'd say you're right. I failed to notice certain details....

And, that sucks. No car = no go.

when I said T-65 days yesterday, I was looking at a Friday noon for a start time for Cincy, in really I'm looking at 60 days from now is when Cincy starts for me, since that is the when I start my drive north to Ohio

[cholland_]

Chris, you've been to Munich before, haven't you? If not and want to know any great places to see, just ask.
:

Yep, I was there a few years back. Actually, I was in Munich when the yellow car was dropped off in Toronto by the delivery truck, after the "incident". Unfortunately I won't have too much time in Munich on my own. Other than the Sunday when I arrive, I'll be in the office most of the time.

Not that I'm complaining or nothin'.

[California 16v]

Why hasn't anybody posted to this thread for a few days



I'm really excited about taking a Scirocco to Cincy now

the above photo is from a local Euro car show, I went to yesterday in the rain

I won a Best of Show award in the Corrado/Scirocco category, beating out 3 other Corrado VR6's that were there, that had better paint jobs on them than my 88 and where cleaner than my 16v. Since I really went to this show just to be there and wasn't showing it, like others that had cars there.



... plus awards at Cincy are different in good way, than what was at this above show

[crazyaboutrocs]

Hopefully you have some after office time to enjoy the city, otherwise yeah, I would be complaining.

Congrats, Randall.

[crazyaboutrocs]

Ok, I know Daun usually has a Cincy info thread stuck at the top or something, but we don't have that yet. And I know he posted the hotel info, but where is it? Daun?

[punchbug]

And, that sucks. No car = bum a ride with another addict.

There, FTFY

answer :

Ya'll are waaaaay too quiet.

Cincy news: Hotel group rate is held to the same price as last year - $92/nite. They **should** be ready to accept reservations. As always, it's the "scirocco.org" group rate. (937) 283-3200. Call early, call often. Cut-off is (I believe) May 12th. (I don't have the paperwork in front of me.)

[vwdaun]

Thanks Randall!

same here minus your tranny issue

[thescirocco.com]

This reminded me of when I bought my first '81S... The owner was from Scottland, and when he bought the car new, there was a Mk.1 and an '82 Scirocco on the showroom floor.
I told him that I wouldn't be here right now, if he hadn't made the right choice...

[scirocco*joe]
