	Talking about large cars, I followed a Bentley Continental
	Turbo R onto the freeway a couple of weeks ago (in my old '85
	5KT).  The 5K Audis aren't small, but this thing's as big as
	a *house*!

	You know how Rolls/Bentley would not quote horsepower ratings,
	saying merely that it was "adequate"? Well, it's pretty damn
	adequate, I'd say, because this monster just effortlessly pulled
	away from me.  Yep, there's something impressive about a vehicle
	so large being able to accelerate like that ...

	-Arun

	'91 200TQ
	'85 5KTCSS (CSS: Charlie Smith Spring:-)

	PS: If you see a Bentley in the Bay Area with a license plate
	that says VOL NUTT, make sure you're driving your fastest Audi
	before you challenge him !
