^ Like a bit of trivia ^
This is a fav site for me - I check back now and then cause I'm no good at the answers. Have a go if you like.
These are the questions for this month - and no I don't have the answers. :P
1. In the US, horsepower is measured by S.A.E. standards, which stands for Society of Automotive Engineers. In Europe the standard is D.I.N. What does
that stand for? I find hardly anyone that knows this, not even native Germans; do you? I’d like to hear from you even though I already know what
D.I.N means.
2. In German, what car part is a "scheibenwischer?"
3. When was the first prototype for the WWII Kubewagen made?
4. Name a brand name of car radio made for the earliest Beetles!
5. Is the New Beetle’s wheelbase longer or shorter than the old?
6. When did VW go from screw connectors to slip- ons in the VW wiring?
If you want to follow up last months trivia have a read at http://www.midsouthvw.com/Nltr02-01/Trivia-0201.htm
This is a pretty cool site indeed.

nup ... you got it wring there Adz. Deer binking encourages brain growth! Birchall was infact born WITHOUT a brain and he is trying his hardest to
grow one! I think he is doing a comendable job!
Now DIN stands for "dont I know" - every one knows that!

Brain cells
:beer
But Darwin was right, survival of the fittest!! If drinking kills brain cells then surely it must kill off the weakest ones.
Sooo.....
if it kills the weaker ones, we are left with the most efficient and smarter cells.....
therefore drinking helps us get smarter :beer
