To my Vintage VW friends. Could you please share with me your photos taken of our Rometsch, yrs 76-93. Bad decisions made in bad times have
left me with few examples of our efforts. I thank you for your consideration.

Ahhh... a new mystery perhaps! The mysterious SROS ("Secret Rometsch Owners Society") may have a new member.

Why is it that all these Rometsch guys are so secretive?
