I'll second this, at least as far as the TT is concerned. I usually like
Audis, but the TT sure is the ugliest set of wheels that's been newly
introduced on the market in a long time. IMHO.
Anyway, cars are strictly utility vehicles. I you wanna have fun on the road
(and get through clog-ups more easily, and always find a parking spot), what
you need is a motorcycle.

O. OM c.: I'm just thinking about how to best make a photo equipment insert
to fit my tank bag, to hold at least a body (possibly with winder), 3 or 4
lenses (thinking of the 35-70/3.5-4.5, Tokina RMC 75-260/4.5, and either the
28/2.8 or Vivitar 24/2.8 or 19/3.8 as a minimum set, with the possibility of
putting some separations in the recess for the rather biggish Tokina to
split it up to be used for several smaller lenses; I might even try to make
that one large enough to optionally accommodate the 400/5.6 Sigma) and a
flash, plus the usual gadgets like filters, wire release, spare batteries,
macro rings, 2 x converter, etc. May be I'll try to find some suitable
hard-foam (like pipe insulation or so) - or are there better-suited
materials that could be used?


MtFbwy,
Volkhart
