Somewhere along the line I had forgotten how much fun Germany is for
automobile watchers...(er, lusters??) While I was not prepared for the
"Smart" cars (read that 1/2 of a car, chopped off behind the driver's
seat...a real hoot when they pass you on the autobahn!) nor the Ford Ka, I
was surprised at the demise of Ford in general in the country. I missed the
old Duckies (Citroen?) and drolled mightily over the Audi TT (one of my hosts
had one and I was able to drive it some...) I do feel that Audi is much
better on design than in the 70's and the TT won my heart, even over the
mighty Mercedes and BMW's. In the 70's I always felt the Audi's were a
Mercedes "wannabe", but they are truly stylish now. And the Audi SUV (I
guesss that's what it was..very rounded but somewhat small looking..more like
a cross between a van and an SUV) was gorgeous. Just got back my pics today
and they are even more outrageous when sitting on a porch in Virginia! :=)
