A Bigger Blower Bentley



This crazy 27 litre contraption by British creative heir to the likes of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Bob Peterson is quite the machine. And you do need to see more of this guy Bob's work at his site.

The Telegraph newspaper had an article about it a few days ago here. But some of the larger numbers are the aforementioned 27 litres. 660HP. 12 exhausts and 24 spark plugs. Giddy-up we would say in Denver.

The original Blowers cast a long shadow. And the desire to own one, or something better/faster than one is strong. Although a replica in spirit, at least they are forthright about it. Not something that can be said of the shenanigans around fakes in my Blower novel (a great gift, cough, cough)- Hunt for the Blower Bentley..

911 in Scotland. Archive Pics.






Clearing out my images on my computer, I came across these which I thought I posted but didn't.

They are from 2007 when my wife and I went to Scotland and had the use of 1975 911 for the week as I was writing an article for 911 & Porsche World about renting Porsches.

If you read any of the UK magazines, they are always hyping the roads in Scotland. And, after being there, rightly so. Spend a night in London on your next trip to the islands, then head straight north.
