From Reader Gloria S. comes this little bit of mischief: “The Alvis was class, so’s this one. ’54 Jaguar XK 120 M, Drop Head Coupe.”
I saw several of these last year over in Britishland, and each one was as beautiful as the other. This one, however (to quote The Englishman) makes parts of me stir that haven’t stirred for a long, long time.
Ahhhh, it’s May 1st, the traditional Socialist holiday [sic] when the Party faithful and the Vanguard rejoice in the perfection of the Proletariat Paradise they’ve created for the grateful working classes.
It was also Karl Marx’s birthday a little while ago, and the New York Times rejoiced in that, too.

Here’s “King’s Day” (or “Queen’s Day”, as appropriate):
Schiphol must have been a picnic by comparison.
From Comments in yesterday’s post explaining my brief abstinence:
“Maybe toss in a extra-ration of zoom-zoom, bang-bang and a bit of tasteful hoochie-coochie.”
I live to please. First, some zoom-zoom (Alvis Speed 25, 1939):
Next, a little bang-bang (Browning BAR in .243 Win):
…and finally, some hoochie-cootchie, of unknown provenance:
Sorry about the past two days; I had an attack of the dreaded ICI (Intarwebz Connection Issues).
Normal service (funny pics, near-nude women, gun pics, hate speech etc.) should resume tomorrow.
