...Have to agree with RallySnake here, Greeny. Taken in the context of the original article, I`d say by "Fat" the writer means 'big', not implying any greatness, coolness or strength, just BIG. Usage of the word 'fat'(phat!) for cool doesn`t occur in the language of anyone over the age of 14 in the UK.
I also took Trevor Legate`s mention of the 18 lightweights not to mean that anything subsequent was less genuine or inferior, just that anyone who bought into the 'limited' production run at a premium pricetag would be justifiably pi$$ed off to find more than their 'batch' being made. I took 'production line' to mean an available model, rather than a row of cars in various states of assembly.
Who once said that we(Brit & US) are a people separated by a common language????
