Dacia Bigster: Standard stuff – but at a stretch

We live in informal times. “Pup play” fetishists in disturbing latex doggy masks in the streets, openly begging for equal rights. And treats. Young men and women drinking beer from bottles in expensive bars. The president of the United States of America dropping an f-bomb as casually as he might a 14-tonne “bunker buster” on an Iranian uranium enrichment facility. And, yes, car manufacturers, once so careful about their dignity, giving their cars nursery-room names. And, yes again, I am referring to the – heavens – the Dacia… Bigster. They had other options, maybe, like the make itself, drawing on the Romanian-based brand’s ancient culture or intriguing culture, though I guess “Dacia Vampire” might put some folk off (but not others).
