My dad had a DKW (pre-Audi)in the late 50's/early 60's. I believe it was a 3
cylinder two stroke, but am unsure. He seems to have really enjoyed that car
as it is one of the few he ever talks about. I have never been able to find
any pictures of his, but have seen some photos of what they looked like. I
wonder if there are any remaining here in the U.S. I have also never been
able to find any pictures of his Alpine either, darn it.

Mark,
What else can go? The availability of gasoline. But don't fret too much, the
oil industry has more clout than any others, and they also own the major
"gasohol", and other energy sources they can use to control "ENERGY".
Remember the old days when "What's Good for GM is Good for the Country"
resulted in them buying all the electric trolleys, and buses in L.A. and
replacing them with Gasoline vehicles?
"Cheer up, things could get worse!" So I did, and sure enough, things did get
worse."
Hey, I remember when the "AUDI" was a small, three cylinder, two cycle,
economy car. And ugly, as well. Then again there was the Messerschmidt !
