	Ahhh... Graz, love that city.

	A few noteworthy things in Graz for the auto enthusiast:
	Home of AVL.  They design and simulate powertrains for such players
such
	as BMW and Mercedes.

As an ex-employee of AVL, I can comment that AVL is considered one
of the leading design authorities on Turbo-direct-injection diesel engines.

However I cannot reveal which other German auto manufacturer AVL has 
collaborated with on their TDI engines...

	That Chrysler plant also makes Galendawagens (sp?) for Mercedes... I
took
	a tour of the facility when I was working in Graz a couple years
ago.
In Graz.... wow, with whom ??
Alan
	Very cool utes... :)
