[Healeys] Longbridge Parts Needed

Alan,
Even that is gone. We do not have offical overall speed limits on the
Autobahn, but speed limit signs nearly everywhere. So along a stretch of
maybe 200 miles you may find perhaps 10 miles without speed limits. To
say we have no speed limits is just a marketing issue for our car
manufacturers (BMW, Mercedes, Porsche) to build these over-powered cars
with 300 horsepower and more. You are not faster with these on our
Autobahn. In our high dense populated area of Germany there is heavy
traffic everywhere and the mentioned speed limit signs, which allow
smaller cars to be as fast as these horsepower show-offs.

Kees -

Let me explain something...

In Germany the rules are the rules.

Q.E.D.

Alan

P.S. I think that's why there's no speed limit on the Autobahn, the
average German has to let off steam somehow!

That is really odd as steering wheel "umbrella's", and other devices to
block steering wheel, hand brake lever, foot brake pedal, clutch pedal
etc. can usually be removed in seconds rather than in minutes, specially
in older cars, and are thus pretty useless, while a master switch can
pose more problems. Other usefull devices are of course a hidden (or
unmarked) switch for the electric fuel pump and/or an electric fuel
shutt off valve (as in e.g. duel fuel LPG installations).

Patrick,
Here in Germany I have a special chapter in my car documents of my AH
100, AH
3000, Sprite etc. where it is stated I have to carry a "removable
steering
lock" with me. That is the only anti theft measure I have to use with my
100.
We have this request for all cars who do not have a steering column lock
installed. So to be on the save, I need to use my "steering lock stick"
any
time I park the car.
Interesting, the master switch in the boot is not authorized as a theft
device
by our registration office. So from insurance point of view I do not
need to
switch it off when parking.
Don't ask me why. These are the rules of the German car registration
administration. There is no way to argue with these guys.
