Enjoyable and a little nervewracking getting used to the peculiarities of a Type 3. Plus, it was sputtering a little this morning, but I promised it if it got me home tonight after work (giving me almost a full week of service after being out of commission for several years) I was gonna treat it to a full tuneup, oil change, fuel filler neck fix, etc. Hopefully that will make it worth its while. On another note, I have no idea how some of you folks get these cars up to the "crusing speed" of 84mph. I hit 70 and it feels like the engine could rev right out of its mounts. And the automatics have a higher final drive?
