Remember that Veyron I was supposed to have won? Never did get it.
Still want it, though!

About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.
This blog has to earn its keep!
PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful.
That way I have steady income I can plan on, and you wind up regularly on my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I periodically say Holy Mass.

Is a Bugatti better than a Bugnini?
Mike Morrow says: Is a Bugatti better than a Bugnini?
Oh, yes.
But getting a Veyron as a gift would create new problems:
– how to pay for the gas?
– how to pay for the tires?
– hot to pay for the insurance???? That one has to be a whopper!
But all fall into that category where “if you have to ask….”
Is a Bugatti better than a Bugnini?
Well, Bugatti was the name of the long-serving executioner in the last years of the “temporal power”. He lived in Trastevere, and the firt indication of a public execution coming off was Bugatti crossing the bridge to Rome with all his executioner kit.
One of the methods of execution was a mallet blow to the skull – the “hermeneutic of rupture”, you might say.
This looks rather like a red biretta with black trimmings. A perfect birthday present!
*grins*
Honestly, if we want that vintage of speed and splash, how about a Mooney Bravo? It’s probably not too different in price, flies faster, offers a better view of the overall area (from 3,500 ft AGL or higher), and may offer a somewhat larger luggage compartment.
Speed, cool looks, AND utility. Tough to beat.
..Well, that might be my aviation fantasy anyway!
