To Maserati or not?

By Rita (The reluctant reviewer).

The Maserati’s are lined up…and they’re racing!

During APEC, it seems a no-brainer that someone should have organised drag races down the length of Independence Boulevarde as entertainment . They had the racing cars (Maseratis) and the track. Why didn’t the APEC committee think of that?  Absolutely no imagination? More money than sense (leaving the Maseratis idle)? What?

I mean, there would have been a birds’ eye view from up there at APEC House for the VIPs and the splendid sidewalks would have made good viewing platforms for the pubic too.

Independence Boulevard – be careful you don’t fall off the end.

The only problem would have been that Independence Boulevarde’ (built by the Chinese at great expense) leads nowhere. It’s not a circuit and it’s variously reported as being either one kilometre long or 300 metres (more or less the same) – with six lanes.

At 300 KPH – this road would take the Maserati only 3.5 seconds to travel its distance, or, at one kilometre, it would take about 11 seconds. Not much of a spectacle (although it would be exciting watching the cars run out of road and screech to a halt before they disappeared down a pothole, wouldn’t it?)

Rita goes undercover to embrace a Maserati Quattroporte (as well as toxic positivity.)

But let’s not dwell on the negative (I’m embracing toxic positivity):
Port Moresby could have held the Inaugural Port Moresby, Maserati, Independence 300. And why stop at APEC? It could become an annual fixture of national life- like the Monte Carlo Rally did in Monaco – it’s not too late.  The Maserati’s don’t seem to be going anywhere.
