hi, My name is Corporal Passetto and im a marine stationed in iraq. i own a 1971 sb with a 1776cc dp with 34pict and 009 dist. and right now it sits in storage till i get back stateside. what a waste of a beautiful car

anyways i was wondering if anyone had any reading material or anything beetlewise for me to look at or work on. all ppl have out here are superstreet and hot rod and camaro magazines and they are all garbage. id like to have some reading material that can stimulate my vw brainhousing group.

anything that would help me from missing my car would be great. thanks ahead of tme for all that read this.

With a first name like that, it would have been hard to become anything but a soldier :wink:

Good luck
