Transports of Delight

Remember the episode of Top Gear when Jeremy and James got into an argument about the existence of the Mitsubishi Chariot?

Word has it that in the next series, all three presenters will turn Buddhist and test-drive different schools of Buddhism to see whether the Mahayana or Hinayana branch provides the best combination of road handling and power under the hood.

I am particularly looking forward to the episode where they compete to construct deer-carts, goat-carts and bullock-carts in a challenge to lure children out of a burning building.

Here an earlier Top Gear presenter explores the history of Tantra practice:


"That's Tatra, you noddies," tigris pointed out.
Reason for high centre of gravity
At this point AK and I remembered an appointment at the Old Entomologist and left the office in high dudgeon, a reasonably priced family vehicle if it were not for its tendency to heel over when cornering too quickly.

Hmmm.

"Heel over".

Bad sneakers and a pina colada my friend...

Bad Sneakers? Is that near Mecklenburg?

Lovely cars, the 1930s Tatras. They must hold a record for "number of design features stolen", what with the VW, the Hanomag 1.3L, the Adler 2.5L and the Steyr 55.

Y'all should have headed for the "luxury executive saloon" rather than the O.E.

A-and we're back to truncated ponies with a formerly popular bitter sodt drink as lagniappe.

Thanks a lot Vajira! Now I don't have a ride home.

Vajira sounds like the lady version of a certain giant Tokyo-stomping lizard.

First you have to finish all your Snakefinger lyrics. Then dessert.

Maybe I should animate a Stanley Steamer.

Nowhere else on the Interlattice is there anything to rival The House of Substance as a source of Car Hentai.
