Has bugger all to do with this post but is a beaut of a car
Mahinda mamme really outdid himself arguing the case for purchasing four MiG29’s at a total cost of probably around $60 million (or in Sri Lankan terms, a gadjillion Rupees, in layman’s terms, a whole lot of bloody cash).
Apparently it is not a knee jerk reaction (why would he ever have thought that?) but is part of a “planned development of the ADS” (Air Defense Systems to us laypeople)…err…then why pray tell did we spend almost $10 million on buying MiG27s recently?
Makes no sense to me, if I’m saving to buy a Porsche Carrera GT in a few months time, I’m certainly not going to buy a NSX to ‘tide me over.’ But then I don’t have a scarf cutting the blood supply to my brain, or in fact stand to make a few million from brokering the purchase of a NSX and a Carrera GT.
NB: all facts and the premise for this blog post were shamelessly ripped off from Iqbal Athas and his Situation Report.

That be my dream car..
