Subject:Short story in Der Speigel about the Vanagon

Article is in german, it talks about how the Bulli-T3-vanagon remains
popular in germany.
Despite the fact that the average age a german car is only 8 years old.

Synopsis:
- The t3 is simple, solid and can be repaired by the owner, unlike
modern vehicles
- There are many resources in germany dedicated to the repair and
enjoyment of the T3, internet forums etc.
- The 1.6 td lasts about 150,000 to 200,000 kms (??)
- Repairs and maintenance costs add up, but it is worth it
