Could be a bit of both. VWoA could have made it too hard for Mid America Motorworks, and thus not worth their time, or $$. My take on it is that MAM couldn't be bothered, (I even told the sales person that MAM would lose a lot of friends). His response, "that's too bad, but due to the lack of licensing they couldn't even sell clothing". Which leads me to beleive that ANY part with a VW part #, VW symbol...etc will likely be disposed of rather than sold. This is really begining to leave a bad taste in my mouth. As the oiginal MAM press release says, " a big plus for classic VW owners", (it should say in fine print though, "but only if you have a Bug, Bus or Ghia") Directly or indirectly VWoA has won, we as a Type 3 community have potentially lost;-( Maybe if more of us contact MAM 1-800-500-1500 and express our desire for them to carry more Type 3 parts, then that will help??? Or cros your fingers and hope that once MAM sees RMMW's sales, ($$) for Type 3 specific parts they may change their minds, (not likely, I hate big business):-( Cheers, John La Francois Blauvelt, NY '67 Beetle (Bubb) Curently under rustoratiion, by owner '65 Notch S (Nubb) Awaiting rustoration '98 Jetta GL (Wolfgang) Wife's Daily Driver __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
