So, one of my fellow bloggers called my keen political insights "garbage" and asked me to go back to writing about cars.

I will gladly fulfill your wish. In fact, how about if I write about both?

I will even perfume my words to make sure the wind that passes when I write about politics will not offend your hope and passion for change.

(Trying my hand here at Obama-speak. Such crap, I know.)

No, here's the deal-e-oh-my-god. As any car guy knows, there is a great British firm that has remained in business for a half-century by the Burgermeisterish name of "Bristol."

They got their start when they acquired the tooling for the very fine BMW 328 as a WWII war reparation and constructed their first car--the Bristol 400 in the 1947.

This proud old firm was very hot in the automotive world last year when they claimed to have turned their current Supercar--the extremely expensive and akward-looking Bristol fighter into the fastest front-engined production car in the world (Jalopnik says 1000 plus HP).

I am about as certain they have accomplished this as I am that Ms. Palin the Sexy Librarian (in look) will last till Thursday.*

Its a fast moving story, still.

And this one really doesn't stink.
