THE MOTORING SECTION

Not saabs or taxi driver deficencies for once, but the humble, average, usually slightly clapped-out japanese saloon.

I have noticed that amongst the youth of HK there is a predeliction for modifying these glorified death-traps by sticking a large exhaust on the back, lowering the suspension, fitting a Momo racing sterring wheel and hanging the Chinese equivalent of furry dice of the rear-view mirror. Sadly these hunks-o-junk are still powered by very tired little 4-cylinder engines with about as much get-up-and-go as an asthmatic pit pony.

To complete the look they then add the letters TRD to the back of the their pride and joy. This is supposed to stand for Toyota Racing Development apparently.

I think they decided that adding "Urban" and so having the letters T.U.R.D. emblazoned across the back of their trusty and rusty chariots might be a bit close to the truth.
