We’ve made it to the weekend! It’s time for another installment of Car Connections, a game in which I take three words from the Random Word Generator and somehow link them to automobiles.
Today’s words, spine, birthday, and ghostwriter, were more difficult than I thought they would be, especially the last one. This is going to be a little clunky, but I’ll get the job done.
Spine: The 2018 Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupe I tested several years ago had such a harsh suspension that I thought my spine was going to shatter. Next!
Birthday: Two years ago, Bugatti released the Chiron Super Sport 57 One of One, which was—as its name states—a one-off. If its color looks familiar, that’s because it was inspired by the paint on the Type 57SC Atlantic that the One of One owner saw on display in the Mullin Automotive Museum. What’s the connection to birthday? The lucky lady received the bespoke Chiron Super Sport as a 70th birthday present from her husband.
Ghostwriter: This was a tough one. Follow me on this winding path. After novelist V.C. Andrews died in 1986, a ghostwriter began writing books under her name. Hmmm . . . Andrews. Andrew McCarthy was in “Weekend at Bernie’s.” Bernie . . . as in Bernie Taupin. He writes lyrics for Sir Elton John, a legend who’s owned various Bentleys, including a 1956 S1 Continental Sport Saloon and a 1975 Corniche Convertible.
Whew! I’m tired from all that stretching!
