ANTI-SPORTS-CAR CULT? Sir,
Sir, Just recently, on my way to work, I passed a parked Austin A35; not very remarkable, but on closer inspection I noticed the following label stuck on the rear bumper : “Help Stamp Out Sports Cars,”
This I confess I found both disgusting and disturbing. Disgusted to see such petty sentiments displayed. Disturbed that there should be people who have nothing better to do than print, on selfadhesive labels, such rubbish.
Could it be that the owner of the insipid saloon car lacks either taste for, or possibly the money to purchase and run one of the sports cars he wishes to stamp out.
