Classic Beauty: Lynda Carter
She’s still one of the most beautiful women who ever lived, whatever her age, and I think the world of men falls into two categories: men who agree with me, and men who somehow have never seen Lynda Carter before.
And for those unfortunate souls in the latter category, we have these examples:
At any age, in any light, from any angle… Wonder Woman.

The Way It Used To Be
I don’t know if you had any plans for the next eight hours, but here’s one way to spend them.
Racing the way it used to be and quite honestly still should, especially when it comes to the sound of the engines.
Footnote from former bandmate Knob, who lives there and knowing my love for F1, sent me the link:
We watched from the roof terrace at Café Milano. Best place on the track. Hired by the Bentley Drivers Club UK by my buddy Mark, who is also great mates with one-time F1 Champion Jody Schecter. Jody just sold his F1 car collection on Saturday at Sotheby’s Monaco auction. Got €6.7m for his Ferrari 312T !!
Also, went to the Eddie Jordan chat with Red Bull designer Adrian Newey on Saturday evening at the Yacht Club. Some interesting stories.
Must be nice to be one of the Idle Rich…

Question: what do all the following cars have in common?
Porsche Carrera 
Audi Quattro
VW TDI
Porsche 917
VW Golf VR6 
Mercedes 350 S Turbodiesel
VW Phaeton 
Bugatti Veyron 
Lamborghini Aventador
Bentley Continental Speed GT
VW XL1
Here’s the answer to the question: a crazy Austrian who gave the world its best cars from the 1960s until… well, yesterday.
In my opinion, the only mistake he ever made was a marketing one: positioning the Phaeton as the VW Phaeton, instead of (say) an Audi A12. Had he done the latter, Audi would still be selling them.
Never let an engineer near the marketing plan.
Quote Of The Day
From Kenny:
While I’ve never had nor wanted one, Lisa enjoys her gay coffee drinks from Starbucks, insisting on getting one every time we go to Gallatin where the nearest Starbucks is located.
Naturally it’s in a spot that’s a royal pain in the ass to get into or leave due to traffic, and to add insult to injury, they take forfuckingever to make it. I’m serious, there’s always a few cars in front of us, so we can figure on at least a 20 to 30 minute wait. It may be a shorter time if I was to park and go inside to get it, but I absolutely refuse to step inside due to liberal germs. It’s bad enough a liberal company was getting our money.
You had me at “gay coffee drinks” and “liberal germs”…
