Goodbye, old friend

[Darrell Zinck]

Hi

(Mods, feel free to delete if too far off topic)

I was lucky to not have some of the problems that plagued the 2003 Jetta TDIs and managed to put on 350K+ kms on her with a little more than routine maintenance. Well.........that's almost true! She had been coast to coast a few times and was the Family's main method of transport for many years. Dad's runabout in later years. My Daughters called her "Silvia, the elegant Lady".

Maybe not worthy of a "Tribute" thread but she was good girl who served me well. A failed torque converter finally put her down. Off to a TDI scrapper to keep a few others alive.

I hope the picture is familiar to some. Maybe not a US Cavalry MB but...........Sniff.

regards
Darrell
