Kepler Motion

December 28, 2009 / / Comments Off on Kepler Motion

It was killing me not to be able to write about this, as it isn’t often that I know about something really interesting before all of the “cool” kids do.  So, finally I’m going to post a few pictures of the Kepler Motion “Dual Powertrain” Supercar.

Kepler Motion at Dubai International Auto Show

As a picture is worth a thousand words (and I have access to some) I’ll mostly post those.  I write this sitting in the Kepler offices in Southern California where the executive and engineering team have just returned from the Dubai International Auto Show where the Motion was announced to the global press. The “Dual Powertrain” (250 hp electric motor in the front, 550 hp twin turbo in the back) is for the purpose of improving performance (not just being “green”) and the Motion is gorgeous!

Press Feeding Frenzy

I have many many more pictures and I’ll post some as I have time.  I am in Orange County to spend time with friends and family and log miles on a bicycle again for the first time since my crash and resulting surgery in October – so those things are a priority.

Emma Peel

October 31, 2009 / / Comments Off on Emma Peel

I’m sitting here (mostly confined to the motor coach) writing about the Chump Car race and waiting for some pizza and I notice something that had caught my attention a few weeks ago.  An unusually large number of people seem to find this blog while searching for “Emma Peel” – Dianna Rigg, the actress that played the part, is famous mostly for the role of Peel in the Television show “The Avengers”.  I had made a reference to her in an earlier post Supercars for the Proletariat – very un-Chump Car.

So two things – clearly I’m not the only guy that has had a thing for Diana Rigg (well, that was a safe bet and I grew out of it), and (as an experiment) I could do something to push my “Emma Peel” numbers up.

So, in the early 80’s there was a Seattle band called The Allies, and they had a song called Emma Peel.  I used to see them quite a lot.   I also think that the guy that wrote songs for that band has been popping up to play around Seattle again.  Anyway – below is the” Emma Peel” video.
