our Fel Low americans Are on the roads of this Beautiful the Hondo bombers we see not Only on the but also on the amaze me As to How the bodies do not slide off the Chassis when the brakes Are and How any person in his right mind would drive on the super Eagle 88 tires in Germany is beyond my wildest dont get me i do not drive a Bow 735i with Pirelli p7 tires with a full time maintenance i drive a Ford Ltd with 180 Kph do All the maintenance there is no rust on my the Michelin i purchased through cafes at a great savings Over other american what i am saying is that the american 55 Mph tire is great in the land of milk and but in the land of fast cars and sup Posedly fast they just cant Cut the Why pay the extra Cost for not the Best available when a better tire is lets get to the heart of this and that dont blame vehicle registration at Heidelberg for the faulty that is like retroactive birth control just Doest the problem lies with the military inspection station and the parameters of the regulation that states whether a vehicle is Safe due to superficial and after the car passes inspect it goes to hell until the next inspection or worse yet is involved in an my question who do we elect to police the inspected junk that is still operating on the highways or who will prevent these cars from being inspected and allowed Back on the Road certainly not i thought everyone knew that the vehicle registration is nothing More than an administrative or do they have Hill Street blues to help them aside from the mechanical and superficial defects of a vehicle is the attitude of the american my Point when the Driver comes around the curve in the hugging the White or worse occupying part of my Lane of and you see a 66inchwide car that is already occupy ing All of the Lane you Are intruding mixing paint that Way is dead preventive maintenance is not a hit an miss fact of it is a Way of life for your vehicle while in 1 Hope no one needs my or anyone else on the or another thank god for the German automobile club the Best spent 59 Marks Cundiff Span Dahlem Germany Reader asks for More space available information i have noticed recently the an radio when providing the daily space available has been omitting the number of personnel on the space lists at Rhei main and i real ize this figure is not totally accurate for a number of reasons but it did serve a most useful i have used space to and from the United states and found the waiting list figure helpful in my leave since i am stationed in i used this figure in determining the Best time to travel to Rhei main a 10hour round trip to sign up on the space i have also used the figure to decide the Best Day to drive to Rhei main to catch a the announcer provides numbers to Call at both Rhei main and Ramstein for additional trying to Call these numbers from Belgium is difficult at if one is fortunate enough to get most times the numbers Are Busy or the person answering the phone or provide the number on the space taking into account the relative accuracy of the list in the and speculating on the number of travellers like myself who still found the figure helpful for planning Pur my question is Why has an discontinued providing this information to its listeners Hoyle Belgium editors note Mark Squadron operations 435th Aerial port 435th tac Airlift replies the information we provide an for their radio announcements has changed due to several changes in the Mac space available program the most significant recent change allows space available passengers to remain on the waiting list up to 30 Days 45
