>>So what do all of us Type 3 lovers do all day? Okay, I'll relent. By day I'm a physicist. I came by this profession because I like to take things apart and figure out how they work and how to make other things work. I have an MS in physics, plus 2-3 more years toward a Ph.D., but never had the stamina to finish that road. I work for a complay that makes particle accelerators. Not the big ones that you've heard of, but just little ones. Some would fit in a 2-car garage, but others would be several hundred yards long if you straightened out all the bends in them. I do mechanical design and RF power structures for pulsing and bunching systems. I spend a lot of time in the field sometimes doing trouble shooting and installations. At home I'm obviously into type 3s (picked up my first squareback, new at the dealer, on March 2, 1968) and have had a number over the years. I got into fixŠšUV wn in about 1970 when a series of bad experiences with a bad dealership gave me the impression that I could do a better job. Eventually that became true. Aside from type 3s, I have been a bicycle frame builder, and I repair old electronic test equipment and tube type stereo gear for fun. In general, I like a challenge of something new and interesting to fix. I think it has been established that I am not the oldest person on the list, but I am just barely post-war, and I am talking about WW II.
