Hey Mark,

Can't say that's been my experience... I've had quite a few Euro outfitted
"world traveler" T3's come through my shop over the years, and those suckers
have been heavily modified with more doodads than I can count.  Pretty
imaginative stuff too.

Europeans (especially Germans) love their doodads!

Cheers,

Jeff

Their example points out quite clearly something I have noticed before.
People from the USA/CA seem to largely think their vehicle needs all kinds
of extra gadgets and doodads to make a trip of any consequence.
People from other places seem more content to set off with only the most
basic of equipment and just wing it from there. Somehow they manage just
fine.
