I went to a German car show in Oshkosk, WI last weekend, just in the hopes of seeing some interesting cars. I went with a friend in his Diesel Jetta wagon, just because he gets really good gas mileage, but our hope was to see some interesting cars. There were no type 3s there. There was an immaculate '67 Porsche 912, perfectly preserved and completely original. There was a '55 Mercedes 300SL Gull Wing. Probably the only one I'll ever get close enough to touch. But, for me at least, the stars of the show were 4 little mini cars: 2 Isettas and 2 Messerschmitts. Whether or not you're already familiar with these, I recommend that you go to the web site of the Microcar Museum in Madison, GA and take their virtual tour. The range of little "Bubblecars" is incredible and they have TONS of them. Marion McDonald, and any other type 3 listees in GA, ought to take a day and go visit this place, unless you've already done so. At times I know we all feel like we love and drive cars that no one else likes, so take a look here and see how it must feel to be COMPLETELY out of the mainstream. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
