Just came across the post, hope the both of ya"ll chime in to give us an update for I see the post is from 2009, but like the fact that she did all the work herself and how the bug came out.

As for me, I was young when I did my Rail, so I have kept it all these years for it is mine and all mine,lol So, hope the bug is still in great running order, like to hear if you have done any updates or anything to it.

Way cool thread for sure, like the fact she tackled it herself and got it done, way cool.... Thanks for the Thread, a Positive Outlook on the Way the VW World can Go.. Way Cool........ RB
