RE: TT Sighting at AofA

[Eaton Dave <dave.eaton@minedu.govt.nz>]

i see that the uk "autocar" magazine has given the tt it's "design of the
year" award.  siting the homogeneity of it's design among other things...

it's not that you're getting *old* are you graydon??? (says dave 1 day after
his 40th birthday bash, and knocking the top of a '83 coleraine).

btw, the same mag makes vw it's manufacturer of the year, piech it's person
of the year, and the lupo it's environmental car of the year.
