Congratulations to Martin Jansen for winning the attention of "Jalopnik"!

Are you guys familiar with Jalopnik? It's one of the most popular "car blogs" - basically a daily online car magazine. To give you an idea... yesterday they ran an article, and included a little text link in it to British V8. In two hours, that link referred 560 readers to the British V8 website. Isn't the internet amazing?

Here's the story Jalopnik ran:
"Austin Healey with Blown Jaguar V12 has Almost Enough Engine Now"

At the bottom of the article, ~50 Jalopnik readers have posted comments. Some of them are interesting.

(Also interesting - to me at least - is that now I can see a ripple effect. Apparently people who've read about Martin's car on Jalopnik are now talking about it on various message boards, and Martin's British V8 article is getting linked to from all over the place: "vwvortex", "forums.motive.com", etc.)
