Re: [T3] Any Europeans on the list??

I think you make a good point.  We've had regular, quite stiff
testing called the MoT in the UK for some 20 years now, and it
hasn't caused major problems to cars apart from those that shouldn't
be out there.  I can't believe some of the unroadworthy stories read
on the newsgroups, and the line seems to be "who do they think they
are telling me I can't drive my car just because it is a danger to
road users".

We are lucky because Britain doesn't have its own car industry any
more - just other countries' companies.  The only true British cars
are Classic cars, so we gain from the fuss that is made to keep them
going!

I don't believe the shortage of Type 3s in Germany is the cost of
gas.  It is more like $4.70 in Britain.

BTW, the Typ 3 Liebhaber e.V. is a good club.
