Dasher--was (How plentiful are Golf/Jetta synchros)

[Brandon Rogers]

Ths Dasher....
Thanks to the dasher we are an Audi family.  In '81 we drove to the east
coast in green '7? D Wagon from Denver for Christmas to see family.  My
grandfather had reserved the last available (I understand) new D wagon for
my dad.  It was an '81 or '82 ??.  Whatever...we drove it back to Denver and
it broke down in Colby, Kansas--it's maiden voyage, on New Years Eve.  We
were lucky to find a flatbed to tow us all the way to Denver that night.
The car served us fine til '84 when it was involved in multi-car pile-up on
I-25 in the rain.  a tractor trailer literally ran over the wagon part .
The only part of the car the remained was the driver seat.  My dad walked
away and was luckily driving alone.  He was the only driver of the 6
involved that was not ticketed.  Anyway....this led to him buying a new 1984
4000s quattro. The rest is history.
