Re: Your worst scirocco moment?

A little embarrassing this one, but I managed to lock my keys in the boot (I opened the boot using the key fob, dumped a load of stuff in and without realising the keys went in too). Once the boot was closed - clunk - car locked up - DOH! Many things made it worse - I blocked my girlfriend in on the...

Re: Handling Problems

My original posting was trying to identify a tendency of the Roc to get twitchy around corners, seeing if others have experienced the same. I've previously owned a TVR Chimeara and that was similar (and obviously they're well known for being unstable) - but as that was rear-wheel drive it was easier...

Re: Candy White questions

Inevitably mine shows the dirt easily, but thats not really the problem. The worst is the fly splats at this time of year - they really show up. I dont have any regrets choosing candy white though, it looks the muts.

Re: Need help about Ipod connection cable

Picked up my new baby Rocco on Friday & asked at the VW Dealership about the cable - they gave it to me for free. So your local VW garage should be able to get one...
