meanwhile at or around the portofino inn

It’s 10:33AM, Monday, 30 March 2015. I’m at an undisclosed but very pricey location in Greater Los Angeles. Three very tired and irritable men are watching me watch a very long and mostly mind-numbing video.

And yes, we’re all wearing pants.

Some time in the next 48 hours, I expect to be able to tell the story of the newest feat in extra-legal American motoring. Unfortunately, before I can do that I have to watch a lot of video and look at a lot of evidence. The approximately eighty people involved have all agreed to a blackout period from social media and public presence while the story is assembled.

They’re also involved in an argument about what day to release the evidence, because April 1st is a mere 48 hours away.

So watch this space.

Obviously there's a new Top Gear replacement based in the U.S. and Baruth is the new new Stig equivalent, but to be called "the Pick" (guitar pick).

Uh-oh, I may have one more car to add to my dream collection of sea-to-shining-sea trophy dash winners. I figured the Jag, M5, and CL55 are all attainable dreams.

When I look at the picture, for some reason I think of pulling in to Don's Gas O Rama where some guy will ask me, "Pass any low flying planes?"
