I hope you also explained that we got it starting way back in '68 
(which happened in the fall of '67.) This was a real breakthrough for 
VW and Bosch: the very first mass produced electronic fuel injected 
cars ever made. We're the Granddaddys of all of today's modern cars.

I'm always surprised that VW agreed to do it. I'd have expected this 
to show up first in some smaller production, much higher cost, luxury 
or high performance car, like something from Mercedes or Porsche.

I'd love to know what went on in the corporate boardrooms of VW and 
Bosch during those times. I suspect there were heated discussions and 
lots of concern about warrantee problems. I also wonder when Bosch 
actually started their development of this system. Something like 
this doesn't spring to life overnight.
