Driving becomes very much a less effort as no decisions are needed to decide which gear to use and what the legs, hands and eyes have to do juggling about trying to find the right balance be- tween traffic hazards, speeds, gears, the clutch, brakes and the accelera- tor.The driver can calmly look at the traffic ahead and allow the miracles of the electronic engine management system and the transmission hy- draulics to solve most of the problems. So you can lean back, listen to pleas- ing music and simply shift the right foot from the brake to the accelera- tor and back. The gear selector lever has several notches. You start the engine with the gear selection lever in P or parked position. A small release knob, part of the gear selector grip, effortlessly allows the se- lection of the reverse or forward gears. When the lever is slotted into D for drive (or R for reverse), the car begins to move, so the foot needs to be put on the brake. Moving the foot from brake to accel- erator will get the car moving forward and will automatically move to the three or four forward gears according to the load and speed. The

WEDDING BELLS FOR DENISE enise Van Outen is Dgetting married to her boyfriend Richard Traviss, owner of Bro- RAP wns nightclub in Lon- don. It’s lucky that he’s a millionaire as the pair were seen shopping for engagement rings cost- WORLD ing more than 75,000 pounds. Richard pop- ped the question on Ea- ster Sunday in the traditional way — down on one knee at Denise’s flat. ‘‘Richard had been plan- ning for weeks to surprise Denise with a proposal. He didn’t want to do it before the opening night of her show be- cause he was worried she wouldn’t be able to concen- trate,’’ said a friend of the couple. A big celeb-fest white wedding is planned for later this year where guests will in- clude Emma Bunton, Dani Be- hr, Martine McCutcheon and Daniella Westbrook. ‘‘I’m the happiest,’’ said Denise. Zara hatke he’s not your run-of- S the-mill Bollywood babe. But it’s hard to ignore Smriti Mishra who seems to be doing a lot of interest- ing work. You might not find her running around trees in a typical formula flick, but check her out in offbeat fares like Is Raat Ki Subah Nahin and Sardari Begum. ‘‘I keep getting of- fers from Bollywood,’’ she says, ‘‘but I didn’t do them. Mostly because I used to be out of the country working

on international projects.’’ What keeps her busy these days are films like One Dollar Curry. ‘‘It’s a co- production by Zee TV and France TV.’’ That apart, she’s also doing Mitsein,an English film with a German title. Smriti has a few aces up her sleeve and that should see her making a splash in showbiz. Bollywood take notice! Real to reel life lamorous Hollywood G super couple Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston may bring their dazzling good looks onto the screen together for the first time. The married duo are tenta- tively slated to play hus- band and wife in a big budget political comedy, as yet unnamed. As reported

before, Friends star Aniston will be the wife whose world is rocked by the reappearance of a son she gave up for adoption years before. Ocean’s Eleven star Pitt will play her American senator hus- band.
