Two Audis in 'Car of the century'

[Tom Nas <tnas@euronet.nl>]

Hi all,

I've just read an article describing the 'Car of the century' exhibition
that's currently touring the world(?) (having left Amsterdam last week).
You go to a show where you look at some hundred of the most influential
cars of the century, and vote for your favourite. Among the well-known
candidates (Ford model T, VW Beetle) ar two Audis- the UrQ and the A8/S8.
Nice.

BTW Returning from a birthday party at my parents' at 1AM today, I noticed
a police car coming towards me as I drove into Zeist. I saw the car doing a
u-turn in my mirror and then follow me. I was driving just below the limit
at the time- hard rain and low visibility. I expected them to show the
'Police stop' sign and pull me over for a checkup on my registration and
drivers licence, but instead they drove close behind me for the entire way
to my home, about 5 miles.I could see them looking at my licence plate
while I was at the traffic light, and one of them was using his CB. Hmmm...
as I turned left to my place, they drove straight on. I bet they wouldn't
have done that if I'd still be driving my old 80. There's something to be
said for a low-profile car...

Tom

PS I agree on the Design Museum being one of the 'must-see' places in
London. And not only for their car collection.

       The number of people watching you is directly proportional
                    to the stupidity of your action.
