Reminded me of my lawn-mowing adventure tonight.  I caught a Rabbit with 
my Montgomery Ward lawn Tractor!  No it wasn't the VW bunny, but the soft 
furry type.  I scared him out from under a tree, so I jumped off, and 
caught him.  He yelped too, when I picked him/her up. Kinda pathetic 
little yelp if you ask me.  My Son, Arie was ecstatic at the sight of this 
tiny little bunny, and laughed and giggled like only 2-year-olds can.

As for parts sources, I have found that between wrecking yard parts and 
the choice vendors that I have found out about on this list, the Quattro 
has been a rather reasonable car to maintain.  My father tends to go a 
little cheap sometimes, buying wrecking yard parts when he ought to buy 
new, and he has payed for it.  I think he replaced his steering rack 
three or four times - yechhh!  I figure that if the stock clutch for 
example, can last 190,000 miles, then it is a d*** good clutch, and I'll 
be glad to replace it with OEM, brand new stuff.

Oh yeah, a friend of mine called me tonight, and he wants to sell his VW 
2.0 litre Rabbit/Golf engine.  It has a Schrick cam, and a number of other 
goodies.  If anyone is interested, email privately, adn I'll give you 
details.
