[s-cars] Sciroccos and Audis

[LL - NY]

While having never "owned" a Scirocco, does an A2 GTi count?
Probably still one of the most fun cars I've ever owned, even though
it wasn't exactly "fast". It 'twas fast as an Autocrosser, did quite
well with it, even in stock class through 1995 (10 years on) mostly
because you could "feel" everything it was doing. Just missed the
trophies in 5 Divisionals, back when the class had 16+ cars.

I DID test drive a 16V quite spiritedly (the dealer did not go along, those
were the days!) and found it felt like a tighter lower WAY faster GTi.

I've always wanted one, so maybe that'll let me join the closet Scirocco
club.
