#39, Wow, that's vaguely uncanny.

Obviously when I wrote this piece, I hadn't seen the first episode of the new Top Gear series yet, because it hadn't aired... but the last part of it took place on a very convincing stand-in for my mental image of the Tau Ceti Eastern Coast Highway anyway. Really, the match for the imagery I had in my head is quite startling. The only thing that's missing, inasmuch as the real road is in central Romania, is the sea view. So, I guess, cross the Transfăgărăşan with the more dramatic bits of the Pacific Coast Highway and you're pretty much there.
