Ok, I know Daisy's Legs in the Dukes of Hazzard are not really our thing, but I rather liked the General Lee.

Yes, I like cars!

No, I've never had an awesome one, I wanted a Citroën Traction Avant when I was a kid, but never got one, and also an Austin Champ, but with the Rolls Royce engine. Their reverse gear was a transfer box, so you could go flat out in backwards! I never got one of those either. Instead I got one of these!

It would hit 96mph on a good day, and that was after I breathed on the engine!.

The fastest car I had was a 4.2 litre Jag XJ6, actually an XJ40 [but who has ever heard of those?], which was really a very high speed sofa with a certain amount of roadholding if you gave advance notice in triplicate of a bend.

But I digress. Starting on Wednesday we have a new author, Geron Kees [he posts here sometimes], with a tale for petrol-heads. Is 'gas-head' a US term, I wonder?

I don't usually trail new stories, and I have no idea if Castrol R is just a UK product, but it is the definitve smell of motor sport for me! Damn, I've digressed again!

Anyway, Wednesday 23rd March unveils something not only to rival Daisy's Legs, but there is no Boss Hogg, and only Geron can tell us if there is a General Lee!

It's called Rules of the Road.
