Re: [T3] FW: have you seen the cars?

Ahhh yes, the Bogtina, We had a 1978 Australian assembled on with the german
spec 2.0 4 cylinder. Blew the doors off an english one, and used to rev
right out to 6200 all by itself (auto trans). It was almost completely
different from the english car too. It was also available with a 4.1 litre!
Damn!

I'm happy to say, that I think my type 3 was in fact german assembled - The
australians aren't renowned for their rustproofing! I used to have an Aussie
bettle :-S
