Wow. I would have to make a headfirst entry and fall across the seat, then sort things out while trying not to kick the driver in the head.

“ entry point to the rear seat”

This is why it failed:

This is the end of the world...

LOL the “C” is for “Communist”

That’s not the kind of Momo we recognize around here!

Let’s just address the elephant in the room here: those trikes.

Germans: Why use 1 part when you can use 12 in a really clever way?

Holy crap, how did this thing not sell at $4k? Average retail on a ‘91 190E 2.6 is $5,400 according to NADA, and this one looks to be in very good condition. Add the 3.0 swap, the fact that it’s manual, RWD and brown...it’s Jalop bait!

Not in the US they didn’t. 90hp for the Rabbit GTI 82-84, and Jetta GLI in ‘84. First A2 Golf GTI had 105hp 8V until the 16V came out in ‘87 with 123hp, as did the respective A2 Jetta GLIs. Those cars had knock-sensor ignition and higher compression than the A1 1.8 8V.

NO! as I can attest to that. We were attending a Corvette Convention one labor day weekend in our C5 Zo6....driving back from a dinner with lots of drinking involved (I don’t drink.) We spied a sign...Visit Historic Kelseyville! We decided to “visit” there was little traffic on the main street, and we are looking at…

[Sigh]...yeah....

15 years ago this was a $1500 car, it has not appreciated $4k in that time... CP

“’Tis a fine solar array, but sure ‘tis no barn, English!”

“I’ve grown things you people wouldn’t believe. Wheat. Corn. Tomatoes... okay, so maybe you would believe.”

Yeah, but if you were truly Jalop, you would have wished for this Astra
