Car of the Week IN TTOP GEAR By Elaine Mc Fadden [email protected] I swear my heart skipped a beat when the salesman at JJ Reid Motors handed me the keys to this! Somewhere in the distance, John Travolta was singing ‘Grease Lightning’ and Jeremy Clarkson was talking suspension and speed! And why, oh why, couldn’t the sun just shine on Letterkenny for one day! So, suffice to say, I’m beginning this review with; The Audi TT Roadster, convertible, is why driving was invented. With a two litre engine, 200 brake horsepower, six gears and a short shift travel, this car, if you’re familiar with Top Gear jargon, goes from 0 to ‘oh-my-holy-god’ in a matter of seconds! Within the speed limit of course! The magma red fine Napa leather runs smooth against the enhanced aluminium finish interior, along with the electric front windows, electric mirror fold and metallic paint, with phone prep available. The three-spoke multi functioned steering wheel and sports seats with integrated headrests, mean that you and your

passenger can enjoy the smooth ride, while as the driver, you can enjoy excellent panoramic visibility. Together, passenger and driver are united in cockpit bliss, closed off from the world and sharing the experience of the Audi TT-and theres even enough room for a bit of hanky panky! This car radiates power and athleticism and if you’re into sports models, it’s the only way to go! Men and women alike will want to see this model for themselves and there’s no reason to wait! At JJ Reid Motors on Canal Road Letterkenny, this demo model car is retailing at €59,494. In a breakdown, the short shift travel costs €324; multi-functioning steering wheel, €374; metallic paint, €1021; Napa leather, €1021; electric mirror fold, €257 and phone prep,€767. For me, it’s back to reality with a thud! For you, contact JJ Reid Motors on 074 91 22333. Go on, you know you want to!
