    Book - How to keep your VW Rabbit alive

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/VW-Volkswagen...d=p3286.c0.m14

    Don't see these come up too often.

    We've discussed this book before - http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newf...ad.php?t=26357

    Recommended reading for all you MK1 owners, especially if you're new to the scene.

    anyone know where you can still buy this book??? (John Muir's orig. Air Cooled book was legendary...I still have my hand-me-down copy I got in 1986)

    This book is out of print, it is very rare in OZ, try amazon or ebay USA, they come up occasionally. I found 2 copies from junk market when I was in US 2 years ago

    Its a great book and follows in the same context as the aircooler John Muir books.
    I have one here as I ordered mine in a couple of decades ago. Mine is called "how to keep your Rabbit Scirroco Jetta alive" and is writen by Richard Sealey. Produced by John Muir Publications.
    The sticker on the back of mine shows that I got it from Bookworks, 127 Boundary Rd. Peakhurst NSW
    Excellent reading and amazing artwork to top it all off!

    the artwork in the orig. air-cooled book was worth it alone, esp. for a laugh...

    I bought a copy from the states for about $25 plus $15 shipping, so these are going cheap cheap!. Dont have a MK1, but most likely will in the next few years and its a great read with some awsome illustrations which are pretty damn impressive!
