>400 gives us ~1 listee per 100,000 square miles of dry earth >surface, which works out to an average distance between listees of >356 miles (assuming even spacing.) Of course, the density will easily go up if you start doing things like eliminating Antarctica, the (former) Soviet Union, and other huge regions where there were hardly ever any Type IIIs for economic/political/social reasons. Isn't there also some factoid like 80% of the earth's people live within like X miles of the coast? More locally, in the U.S., I think I've always seen higher fractions of foreign cars in California than in other regions (say, like, southwest lower Michigan or Texas or Wyoming or South Carolina). Anyway, using the uniform averages, given that there were some 2 million Type IIIs built (give or take), that means that there were about 5,000 cars produced per listee. Hmmm, 5,000 cars per 100,000 square miles, or 1 car per 20 square miles. Turn that around and factor out the Type III-free land again, and this density will shoot way up. Hey! Where'd they all go?!? -Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web! Visit http://www.vwtype3.org/list/
