	Ok, well hopefully it WILL eventually become the karmann thread ;D It seems not only are both my cars karmann built, but other cars ive always loved turn out to be karmann built to. There seems to be a bit of a theme with me that i never even new! Ill start with my 2 And another mk1, just cos i love em So, pics of karmann built cars go here I wonder if they built anything i don't like?

	They built the horrible Renault Megane Cabrio. (I only discovered this yesterday -- parked next to one at the shops. "What's that badge behind the door. Looks like a coachbuilders badge. Karmann! Noooo!") Wiki says this is because they specialise in convertibles. Wiki also has a lovely list of what they built/d: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karmann

	Power by Cosworth, body by Karmann. I REALLY want to own a STANDARD one of these one day. Just hope there's some good standard ones left by that time....

	R19 like this then? Local to me, was for sale a month or two ago. Don't see many non-16v ones do you? Not as nice as Scirocco or KG!
