I have been reading a lot on this forum and it always strikes me how completely and utterly stupid some (all?) the rules about vehicles are. When I first heard that you have to have permission to use a different air filter I thought it was a joke!! At least we are allowed to do something like this in Denmark. On the other hand, in Germany you can actually get permission to mount a different engine in a car - that is almost impossible in Denmark. I recently had a bad experience with TÜV because they plainly refused to inspect my Russian motorcycle with sidecar. The inspector commented that he did not like the welds on the frame (which are original) and though I should have the whole frame re-welded. Hmmm... The bike is 27 years old and has served in the Russian military. It would probably have fallen apart long ago if the welds were bad... Many telephone calls later I finally found a friendly TÜV who will do the Vollabnahme ( = do his job!). Some day I would like to sit face to face with the people who create all these stupid rules and tell them my opinion of them. I could probably even do it without words - a simple gesture with one finger would do Feel free to reply in German. Like I have said before: I can read it, just not write it. Michael |

Good question, Michael, but I like TÜV    Greets, PS: Do you prefer to read English or to read German? |

So ist das nun mal hier. Da aber, was technische Umbauten anbelangt, in Deutschland fast alles möglich ist (eine Frage des Aufwands und des Geldes) muß auch alles bis in kleinste Detail geregelt sein. Das ist manchmal lästig, wenn man nur Kleinigkeiten umbauen will. Dafür ist es aber auch möglich, z.B. einen VW Käfer mit einem auf 400 PS aufgeblasenen Porschemotor legal zu fahren. Vorausgestzt der TÜV hat das abgenommen. Das ist zwar mit sehr viel Aufwand verbunden (entsprechende Bremsanlage, Fahrwerk...Gutachten über Gutachten, Abnahmen usw usw) So gesehen leben wir hier im Paradies, trotz der ganzen Regeln

Dialog aus: DIE TOLLKÜHNEN MÄNNER IN IHREN FLIEGENDEN KISTEN": "Doc, die Konkurrenz ist eingetroffen.Wir müssen ihre Maschinen sabotieren.Wie lenken wir sie ab?" "Schick ein paar hübsche Mädchen zu den Franzosen, dann sind sie beschäftigt." "Uns was machen wir mit den Engländern?" "Gib ihnen ein Dart-Spiel, das wird sie ablenken." "Und was machen wir mit Russen?" "Stell ihnen ein paar Flaschen Wodka hin, das wird reichen." "Und was machen wir mit Deutschen?" "Denen gibst du ein paar Formulare zum ausfüllen" |

Martin, German is probably better because I get a chance to learn it better. Just don't ask me to write too much in German just yet. Glad to hear you like TÜV I had a couple of bad experiences with them and got the impression that they were not interested in helping because it would mean some sort of effort on their part. I come across this a lot in Germany; at the Zollamt, Bürgerbüro, Zulassungsstelle, Arbeitsamt etc. People act like you are a burden when you are really only asking them to do their work. Happens in Denmark too but not as bad as here. Most of my native colleagues agree but seem to accept it. I guess I just have a hard time accepting the mysterious ways of Bureacracy. Michael PS: They recently lowered the tax on Beer and Alcohol in Denmark. Now everybody is too drunk to care about rules |

But there are not only rules in good ol´Germany - we are not able to make a reasonable speed limit, like it is usual everywhere in the world.
