42N8 TT

One can only shudder about the sleazy comments to come when the auto tranny TTs hit the market.
"...mummies in their Audi TTs..." my a$$.
"Jerkoff Sunday Business section writers in Jurassic-sized Range Rovers" would probably be a cliche.


New Luxury Cars May Serve British Companies Well

By Jeremy Hart, Sunday Business, London Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News

Jul. 14--What separates men from boys is the size of their toys and few toys come bigger than the new Range Rover -- UKpound 50,000 worth of two-ton Tonka, designed to swallow the Sahara yet still slide smoothly through South Ken.

Television on the dashboard. Six-stack CD changer in the glove compartment. A push-button suspension as smooth as Julio Iglesias. An electronic steering column with the ability to rise and fall like Reginald Perrin. And the
child-like joy of an adjustable cup-holder, with jaws so wide it can accommodate American-sized vessels bigger than the human bladder.

That's all before I have even turned the ignition key -- mounted, playfully, not on the dash but down by the gear selector -- and set this 4.4 litre bruiser of a V8 purring under its capacious bonnet.

There is another distraction on the dashboard, however -- the fuel gauge. Try and outrun too many mummies in their Audi TTs and you will not just need to pull over at a petrol station, you will need a trip to the bank first.
