    "Vorsprung Your Way to Goodwood"... for a moment, I thought that Charles had become the latest Jalopnik guest-columnist...


    But Audis aren't "ass-engined", are they?

    Why won't Audi bring their V-14s? V-8, V-10, V-12, V-16. All very nice. What are they hiding? This should be a bigger scandal than those Ferrari trucks no one is willing to talk about.

    I still tend to think of Audis as being driven exclusively by cocks and cement salesman, a la Clarkson. But still, I wouldn't mind having an Audi LP560-4 or an Audi Veyron ;)

    @VTEC: If I were a middle aged woman of moderate means and a husband with a good pension, I would consider a TT as a nice car to not take care of and park just too closely to concrete abutments and Nissan Pathfinders.


    Because scrapes, scratches, and wrinkles give a car character. And no other vehicle does that better than an Audi. Think of the character of a gunmetal gray Audi with yellow safety paint scraped down her flanks. And if I know something, it is that nobody gives better scrapes and scratches with wrinkles better than a cougar..I, eh, mean middle aged women.
