Going strut, go ace

SELF POKAZATPo streets and especially on the quays on the Cote d'Azur travel slowly. Not because it is dangerous to rush (and sometimes contagious: countersunk on the promenade in Nice, say, a Ferrari Enzo, and you can pick up a guinea pig), taken here simply do not drive and walk . Show yourself in a chic bob and look at their own kind. edakii road promenade. So we walked the new TT Roadster. And in order for us to pay attention to him more, from time to time pamper soft-top. We add, expand ... All is done via a button between the seats, no you here rasfiksirovany manually. (Note that the budget version of the TT Roadster is equipped with a nominally roof with hand-operated lever means, and you can put an automatic optional, in Europe it costs € 1015. But that is not the case. For test-drive cars on the Cote d'charged in full. I think for too Rublevki ...) button, however, must at all times until the roof goes down / comes over, hold down, but the finger does not have time to get tired: the whole process "in the same direction "takes some 12 seconds - such nimble roof I had never met. I want to even make it slower, there are girls who probably do not have time to track the process ... The roof is not just manual labor is not required, but stops for with it. go yourself in the general flow of officially sanctioned speed of 50 km / h, and open ourselves to quietly envious of the good-looks and rose from maliciously envious - this is the speed to which you can play with the roof. We have a: to us pay attention. And on the roof, and on himself the new roadster. And on the seafront of Nice and the famous casino in Monte Carlo, and no less famous Oceanographic Museum Cousteau. Of course, everyone understands that we show off, but in this region and to come. That one Papic that waving a tennis racket on the top deck of the yacht, aiming a ball through a window cabin (imagine this boat?), it is that, not to show off? He - a yacht, we - roadster. Here we are their among their . (He, incidentally, did not hit the window, while we stood on the quay. One-nil in our favor.) Okay, have shown themselves and that's enough. The casino will not bully, and then later nepafosno be in a roadster yes with empty pockets. We ought to take off in the mountains, the whirl of streamers, and on the autobahn pogazovat. ... and get on the highway BEYSBOLKUVyezzhaem. Properly dispersed. And then in an open car becomes uncomfortable. In the summer, probably, mountain-sea breeze was would be very nice, but now, alas, the summer breeze and no caresses, and freezes our crown. cut in a warm airflow, raise (again, a button), a special aerodynamic screen behind the seats - like a little better, but still freeze. We put on caps . My almost breaks wind - branded cap, from Audi, sorry to lose, so throw it in, I thought, glove compartment between the seat backs. (That was a mistake. "Bardachok" was ... "the ski base" - of course, with access to the trunk. Yes, imagine, in the TT Roadster can carry two pairs of skis up to 190 cm, and the cover is attached to them. However, they will stick to the cabin, hanging above the central tunnel and well, portraying a very high-arm, - but the very fact! compact sports roadster and ski ... By the way, then fished out a baseball cap and gave me the company employee. Vielen Dank!) from the cold winds partly rescues and put seats in the lowest position, but then conveniently only a passenger, he's not we must look at the road ... Well, by trial and error we determine that no roof comfortable ride at speeds up to "hundreds." pleasant, by the way, is that even a strong wind noise does not interfere with listening to music - focusing on the sound from the speakers ears audience is great, the sound does not "blow away." Well, all numb. Raise the roof (of course, reducing the speed to the position of "fifty"), to thaw. How nice and cozy, warm and quiet in a closed compartment. Then have speed, wind, cold hush of tires and do not play a role - we are in the house. Above their heads we have a Mighty sandwich filling in where there is both sound and thermal insulation layers - we knew it in theory and in practice now and feel. with my own ears, and crowns. KAYFVy Drive in reading, and probably thinking that it was he alone on the roof is obsessed with? Where technology, where drive? I have an excuse. First, the roof in this case - the element that defines both a type and the ideology of the car. It is paramount here. In Secondly, about the technique and the drive has been and in some detail. We rolled TT coupe and the presentation test drive in the Alps (№ 8, 2006), and the guy with the Porsche Cayman S, the test-drive of Moscow. coupes and Appliances roadster very close to each other. Differences in the fact that heavier roadster, as an open body requires a powerful extra boost, he aerodynamics and dispersal worse (but only slightly, by a few tenths), a smaller trunk (requires roof space), two seats rather than two plus two ... And they drive on, in my opinion, completely indistinguishable. Compact, powerful, pursed, fast, stylish car. In this and appear on the Cote d'Azur is not ashamed.
