Transports of Delight

Remember the episode of Top Gear when Jeremy and James got into an argument about the existence of the Mitsubishi Chariot?

Word has it that in the next series, all three presenters will turn Buddhist and test-drive different schools of Buddhism to see whether the Mahayana or Hinayana branch provides the best combination of road handling and power under the hood.

I am particularly looking forward to the episode where they compete to construct deer-carts, goat-carts and bullock-carts in a challenge to lure children out of a burning building.

Here an earlier Top Gear presenter explores the history of Tantra practice:


"That's Tatra, you noddies," tigris pointed out.
