There's no apostrophe before an 's' when you're talking about the plural version of a word. "I took some neat photo's!" is NOT correct.

I saw an '06 NBC today and picked up the brochure at the dealer ... it came with the coolest DVD of a couple traveling from MA to NY to do a yo-yo show! Has anyone seen this, it's very well done, indeed. I was longing for a NBC and recalling my two trips across country with Trixie, my 2003 NBC, to Roswell. Maybe if the 2.0T engine finds its way into the NBC, I'll consider another

Peace!

Don't worry Steve, we still love you

Just an update to my thread! Still missing the group

Rode in my friend's 1998 NB the other day and was getting all nostalgic and stuff ... heehee.


Here is my beloved Sparky after a nice spring cleaning, waiting to have his Winter Wheels removed and the 17" alloys with summer perf. tires installed.

I really haven't been paying attention to it lately, but I when I was - it ran about 22-25 in the city (driving agressively I will add) and as high as 34 on the highway. The MINI S with the 6-speed manual is rated 25/32. A friend of mine has a base Cooper with the 5-speed and she has got as much as 41 on a highway trip! The base Cooper 5-speed is rated 28/36 I think.

Dave, old friend, haven't chatted with you in a dog's age! I have had time lately to return and check out the forums ... missing the VW world every now and then.

Let's chat live sometime soon!

Hope all is well.

What a fun little car! I have sat in a few but never drove one yet.

It would be my choice if I EVER THOUGHT of getting rid of my NBC.
