As Al had pointed out to me yesterday, a thread needs to be opened for my new-to-me ride Let me introduce to you: Zorro! I picked him up Saturday September 19th 2015.
He has a 1.4TSI engine with 160 horse power and is from 2012. It's a Sports edition, meaning it has a carbon dashboard As I'm told, the rims are called "Twisters". It has some nice options like: rain sensor, fog lights, sun roof, leather seats with heating, climatic control, self dimming rear view mirror, 6-speed manual transmission, key-less entry.
Awesome, Marcia
Zorro looks so good, as well as the pics.
Guess your U.S. summer travels got you acclimated into the 12's. Love that Zorro is a 6-speed. I'm sure He launches nicely.
Hope to see more pics soon.
And farewell to our beloved Bugje. You brought us Marcia, and we're truly grateful.

Where didthe name Zorro come from? You probably know the television series and the movies of this Mexican handsome nobleman? He dresses in black and rides on a black horse.
As the car is all black & looking pretty tough, I was thinking of a fitting name. Out of nowhere I came up with the name Zorro
Pics of the engine? Once I have the time I'll snap a pic.
Thanks for the engine pics; the USA spec Volkswagens, for some reason, never have the smallest engines VW offers to the world. I know; the high cost of gasoline, is always a issue in Europe, maybe they figure the smaller engines wouldn't sell in the USA market? There are so many Volkswagen models/options; they don't sell here, it is annoying! The Scirocco; in particular, is a neat car that I wish was sold, here in the USA!
The Sirocco is indeed a very cool car! I don't see one that often though. And I didn't know it was not sold in the US? Strange.
Too bad indeed that the smaller engines aren't sold in the US either. Eventhough the gasoline prices are muchmuch lower, it doesn't mean that only cars with BIG engines (using loads of gasoline) should be sold.
You have three gauges oh top of the dash, left is oil temp, center is clock, stop watch, one on the right is the turbo boost gauge. That engine is very common in Europe, now VW is using in some models that come to the USA.
Hello, I finally got my wife a beetle. She has been wanting one since she was like 7 years old and would never stop talking about them. Finally broke down and went looking. We found a 2013 Beetle Turbo for a really good deal with only 30,000 miles on it. Figured I would share and say hello.

Me and my daughter, who is 9, saw this black bug parked at the park. It was on the wrong side of the park so I passed it so I could park closer to where we were going to be. So she carries on about parking next to it until I get like..ok, ok. So I drove all the way around again so that I can...
