Bid to ban fast cars from Europe

You know, maybe I was wrong about food being the next target of the Nanny State ... the way these guys are going, it could be almost anything.

And the more this goes on, the less of a difference I see between modern Nanny Stater's and old line Puritans: both seem motivated by the dreadful idea that someone, somewhere, is having a good time.

A European Parliament report urges a ban on the making of cars that can go more than 101mph (162km/h).

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
