or, given the direction of this thread.. very demented observations ? <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



But anyway, I also always wondered what that acronym represented. So, Vereinigte (United) DEUTA (Duetsche ) makes sense but how does ( Tachometerwerke ) convert to an O ? Is Odometerwerke the former company name before an acqusition by the Tachometer folks , but the old company name remained intact because it would have been too expensive to change all the logos ? <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/unsure.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/laugh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



Or, maybe VDO is simply the result of the Mfg's marketing to women buyers; feeling and seeing those revvs while driving this car will give you a Very Delightful O <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
