Mark, oh yeah. They were even leather if you can imagine that. Had a pair of red ones too. Probably had The Smiths or The Cure cassette in the tape deck. Good times.

Sweet. I had an '84 Rabbit GTI that I drove the wheels off. No power steering, sublime handling and powered by the same incredibly stout engine that propelled Formula Vee's. Too bad it had electrical problems.
Formula Vee's are powered by the old air cooled 1200cc VW boxer engines.
ahhhh yea. My first car was a black/black '78 that I put a VW motorsport 5-speed in (came with a 4), and had this little shop (Techtonics, I think it was called) build me a 1.8L engine for it - massive, wasn't it :-), I never could afford the Callaway turbo or Oettenger four-valve heads but I did have a number of mods; Neuspeed throttle body, Koni adjustibles, Neuspeed cam, aux oil cooler with Earl's ss lines and fittings, Hella H1/H4 lighting, silver BBS RG rims with Goodyear Gatorbacks, Gillette exhaust, Recaros..... it was such an awesome car (until it was stolen, stripped, and returned to me as a raped shell of a former beauty)
Thanks guys, this thing is like a little toy, everything in the engine compartment is super easy to get to, and dead simple. Now all I gotta do is "move" my '79 911, and my Jag, so I can start working on this bad boy
shake, here is a picture of me in about 1987 or 1988 . Although I am sure the car is much older, as I was a poor college student in TX here. Note the round headlights, as compared to yours. I had one later in 1990 that had the rectangular headlights. Fun cars. Enjoy.

Oh man, that pretty much describes my college years. My first brand new car was a black '88 16V Scirrocco w/black leather. Purchased shortly after college. Loved that thing.
