Drive & Dine


Hmmm, a journey to lunch in a hot car? Heck yes I’m in! Who wouldn’t want to ride with a professional driver over an awesome winding road during the most perfect late-summer afternoon to dine?

When I arrive at the lot, however, I am skeptical of the indicated choice. Then the enticement-

“You know, Ken said if he could only drive one car for the rest of his life, this is the one.”

My interest in all things Ken is widely known. And easily exploited.

Taking the bait; at least, I think, I am protected from “innovative” design. Besides, (I add with the inside the head voice) it’s an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the day -and there’s lunch to consider.

Silly me.

I can unconditionally state the Audi S5 4.2 Quattro with 6-speed manual transmission is unpretentious and enjoys the air. Further than that, I plead the 5th.

No details of the actual journey will be divulged. Not even a little bit because the whole of the drive is reflected in every aspect and to tell the least part would not only be indiscreet, but would provoke jealousy and potentially invite official inquiry.

Arriving at the pub in a very good mood, actually silly and moving towards outright foolish, we belly-up to the bar. I interrogate the establishment on signature dishes and the chef’s theory.

The Main Street Pub in Clifton – convivial and tolerant, Christie and Kevin are warm and easy going.
Note to Jay-cook good food well, excellent theory. The cheese steak delivers.

Audi S5 for the perfect drive and dine.
