Sorry, Gang. His words were approx. 40MPG an as far as I can remember wheels and tyres are 165/65R15. So that would be about right. I think they're 65s, could be 75s but definitely 165s on 15 inch wheels. He's not the easiest guy to understand and he is of German decent, but the car is indeed as the factory made it with no additional performance add ons. | | Next week I'll discuss how to prepare a hot meal while | driving those long | highways using just your engine and a Swiss-army knife... | ;p | Have you tried eating a hot meat pie and chips driving along at 64mph (100kmh) with hands on the food and knees on the wheel, feet on the pedals on a windy day. Now whilst I don't recommend it, you can certainly get up to some fun in them thar Type 3s when your in a hurry. Why didn't they install a can holder for that Coke or Pepsi though? :) Regards, Wayne '72 Notch '73 Square '83 Sigma
