This came up in my "joke of the day" today. A useful Rosetta stone for those shopping for a type 3. ;-) If the car ad claims... It really means ----------------------------------------- - rough condition... too bad to lie about - parts car... beyond repair - immaculate... recently washed - engine quiet... if you use 90-weight oil - needs minor overhaul... needs engine - needs major overhaul... Phone the junkyard - burns no oil... (it all leaks out) - rebuilt engine... Cleaned the spark plugs. - Drive it away... I live on a hill. - Drive it anywhere... (within 10 miles) - desirable classic... No one wants it. - rare classic... No one wanted it even when it was new. - stored 20 years... (in a farmer's field) - ran when stored... Won't start. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA
