[Vwdiesel] Size matters. Europeans have larger cigars!

I because I am a ham radio operator, I often use the cigar lighter in our
cars to power various communications devices.

I notice the stock lighter sockets in the 2 mature volks in the driveway
have slightly larger sockets than mother's buick.

Also, all the 12 volt toys I buy come with plugs  that won't stay in the
volks sockets without shimming with cardboard.

I have already installed Anderson powerpole(r) connectors in my favorite
mobile platform (the 89TD) and have a compatible "Rigrunner"(r) distribution
panel.

Is this just because Germans have bigger cigars? (sigh)
