[This message came to me, but I thought it was worthy of forwarding 
to the list]

 Phil, et al:

I would have to agree that they are rare in Europe -- at least in these
parts.  Mine is the only one running in the Zagreb area and people who see
it wonder what the h*ll it even is.  When I was living in Poland, people
there thought that it was a Trabant.  On numerous occasions my wife and I
had to educate Poles on the finer models of Volkswagen's air-cooled
offerings.  Finally, the only time we saw T3s in Germany was when the
Germans brought them out of hiding for the T3 meeting near Amsterdam and
most recently at VW Euro in Venlo, Holland.  Otherwise ours was always the
only one on the autobahn.  In fact, when driving through Germany we always
received more stares and waves when in our T3 than in our very GREEN '72
Super Beetle Cabrio.  

For what it is worth....

Take care,

John
Zagreb, Croatia
