    Happy birthday!

    This is my 1976 Scirocco, and the photo was taken in October of '77 about 20 miles from Mosport Park, Ontario, on our way to the 1977 Canadian Grand Prix. That's me behind the wheel.

    Do you enjoy old cars and long-winded stories about them? If your answer is "yes", then you might enjoy my blogpage. Try it here: http://vwlarry.blogspot.com . Leave a comment, too; I love feedback! Thanx for reading.

    I love cars, but the problem is they are like schroedinger's hobby. They're always in a quantum superstate of being both awesome and a huge waste of time and money... until observation momentarily forces them into one state or another.
