"Without a real car, I'm only half a man" — Jim Douglas, The Love Bug
|
"Bond's car was his only personal hobby. One of the last of the 4 1/2-litre Bentleys with the supercharger by Amherst Villiers, he had bought it almost new in 1933 and had kept it in careful storage through the war. It was still serviced every year and, in London, a former Bentley mechanic, who worked in a garage near Bond's Chelsea flat, tended it with jealous care. Bond drove it hard and well and with an almost sensual pleasure. It was a battleship-grey convertible coupé, which really did convert, and it was capable of touring at ninety with thirty miles an hour in reserve." — Casino Royale by Ian Fleming, 1953 |

"We cannot afford to wait for a series of Katrinas or other natural disasters to take action. We are slow in acting on long term sustained solutions because of a failure of political/business leadership, and low level of public awareness. The idea of the Automotive X PRIZE is very powerful because it hits all roadblocks without pre-judging a solution. It is designed to encourage innovation and risk; it is designed to shake us out of the status quo; it is designed to raise public awareness of the issues; it helps open up possibilities without imposing a solution. Let the solution(s) emerge." — S.M. Shahed, Honeywell Turbo Technologies, past president of SAE International |
