“In every big-budget science fiction movie there's the moment when a
spaceship as large as New York suddenly goes to light speed. A twanging
noise like a wooden ruler being plucked over the edge of a desk, a
dazzling refraction of light, and suddenly the stars have all been
stretched out thin and it's gone. This was exactly like that, except
that instead of a gleaming twelve-mile-long spaceship, it was an
off-white twenty-year-old motor scooter. And you didn't have the special
rainbow effects. And it probably wasn't going at more than two hundred
miles an hour. And instead of a pulsing whine sliding up the octaves, it
just went putputputputput ... VROOOOSH. But it was exactly like that anyway.”- Neil Gaiman.
V is for Vespa.
