Fractured fairy tales from a 50-something
Okay, maybe this is only important to car geeks but…Jaguar bought by TaTa Motors of China? It was offensive enough to the poor Brits when a bunch of cowboys from Detroit had the balls to rip Jaguar from the clutches of the Tea & Biscuit set and turn them into Forduars. But this?
Bought by Tata Motors, a company partly owned by a communist government that makes the cheapest cars on the planet? The Brits must be choking on their crumpets! I can only hope the Chinese bought Jaguar to learn how to build a proper motorcar. But I fear it’s more insidious…
Introducing the new 2009 line of Tata Tatuars! Get a look at this years lineup…
| The Tsingtao Tatuar - a uniquely Chinese convertible for local “consumption”… |
 |
| Tatuar Amphicar – when you have to be ready to go anywhere…great for spies, smugglers, and drunk drivers. |
 |
| Tatuar Image – “how much faster does that painted on motor make it go?” -Jeff Gordon |
 |
| Tea & Crumpet Tatuar – A rolling doiley for the Tea & Crumpet set. Won’t the Queen be pleased? |
 |
| Tatuar Sexicab – A car people will pay to be seen in…I’m too sexy for my cab fare…too sexy for my eggrolls…too sexy for the highway… |

 |

Seriously, you have WAY too much time on your hands. I have to admit though, I really like the Sand and Sea SUV. Wouldn’t my neighbors looooove to see THAT parked in front of my house. It looks bigger than my house. Maybe I can get rid of my house and live in the SUV! YES!
