Well I love the Koenigsegg Story which supposidely holds the world's record for the fastest speeding ticket in a car. But I just found this story about the fastest motorcycle ticket.

This is the Open Records Request form that I filed out and mailed certified to the Hickory Creek Municipal Court, the Hickory Creek Prosecutor Lance Vanzant and Kickory Creek Police Officer E. Theriault.

Back to My story on the speeding ticket case .

Subaru is to honour rally legend Richard Burns, who died tragically of brain cancer last year (2005), with a dedicated version of the Impreza WRX STIlabeled as the RB320 and I want it bad!!! Another one of the world's greatest car collections.

The  Impreza WRX STI RB320's engine, which is named after the former driver's initials, puts out 320 horses and has several improvements to it exterior including a lower front spoiler and slick mesh grill.

Okay I have always that the the Ariel Atom was a very cool racecar but now Top Gear has a gone and proved what makes this one of the world's greatest car. They took it to the Nürburgring and tracked it against some of the other world's greatest cars.

For about $40,000 this car can out run Porches and Lambos for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The car has a power-to-weight ratio of 660bhp per ton. And a 0-60mph time of about 2.9 seconds.

I just watched 007 Casino Royal and I really did appreciate that it was a 'darker film' than some of the more recent Bond flicks. There had turned more and more cartoonish as the series progressed.

This next version was edgy and hard where the other were not with less CGI effects and more real action scenes. I think the film should have gone back in time by setting the film in the middle of the Cold War. It was already presenting itself as the beginning of Bond by giving him his 'double O' status at the very start of the film.

Who thought you could improve on a light? Well it was not that long ago that they started putting LEDs into tail lights of cars to improve visibility and endurance. Now they saying that a flashing light attracts more attention than a solid one.  Hmmmmm... I guess that makes pretty good sense. Man those scientists are brilliant!

I recently watched a movie called "Who Killed the Electric Car" and yes it was a little biased as they did present electric cars as the only salvation of the future. At the time, only a week ago, I was complaining that this movie's opinion of EV success was a little short as the battery capacity of EV cars failed to satisfy anyone outside of Hollywood. What's good for Mel Gibson may not be good for me.

Then I heard about EEStor's top secret ultra capacitor...
