Re: [T3] new listee and new car

Congratulations on your new AT/FI.

Although I have only a minimal amount of experience [7 months to be exact]
with the AT/FI, I will say that after just purchasing and driving my new
1967 Manual/Carb Squareback, I am glad that I made the change.  The only
thing that I will miss about my automatic is the extreme "get up and go."
My new one seems to be a bit slower on the take off.  The thing that I will
not miss is the potential cost to repair both the AT transmission and FI
once it finally decided to give out, as I am not mechanically inclined.

So my advice to you is to try it and form an opinion for yourself.  Oh and
if you are in need of a Bentley Manual, I have a brand new one that I will
sell to you.

Have fun!
