Hey, Amtrak!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I have heard that the USA is similar to Russia because trains between major US cities run once a week... Actually it is once a day - but it is not yet Europe or China...

I have thought that you could build more traditional diesel trains and they could run more often a day between major American cities... This service should be kept alive even when the bullet-trains appear because diesel trains are of basic importance in the USA...

The Magic Of Rolls-Royce - Power Output

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Rolls-Royce Phantom VII (2003-2017) had a naturally aspirated V12-engine of a power output of 460 HP out of 6.75 litres of displacement... The 460 HP remind me of the year 476 after Christ when the Western Roman Empire fell... I'm not surprised that the Jaguar and Rover car labels didn't survive the first decades of 21st Century...

Which Way?

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is very interesting but so far interstellar spaceflight requires rather intelligent than powerful solutions... My idea continues this way...

It is known that you can create elementary particles which are faster than the speed of light by making slower-than-light particles collide... It is also known that it's very easy to computer processors which operate nearly at the speed of light to create strings of electrons and to combine electrons or strings of electrons with each other... I would say you can compose particles of super-light in computer processors you only wish... I wouldn't be so much surprised if intelligent computer processors could also function as the propulsion of interstellar spacecraft next to their conventional usage... In computer processors you make operations with electrons you want...

Instead of studying computer processors from the point of view of particle physics you can also make elementary particles collide in particle accelerators, of course... It's your decision...

Super-Brain - August 23rd 2025

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I don't think there is a chaos in the automobile industry... I don't think there is a crisis in the automobile industry... I only think that engineers in the car development don't know what to start with themselves... They must suffer immensely...

I think that engineers in the car development should go to develop interstellar spacecraft... That's needed... Thank you very much!

The Magic Of Rolls-Royce - Being Available

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Being available is a virtue anyway, especially when it's about emotions... Flexibility belongs to the concept of strength, also when it's about a company's product range...

Hereby I permit the design, development and production of a supreme-class Rolls-Royce car which is based on the BMW 7-series limousine... V12-, V8- and in-line-6 engines are to expect...

Concept Of 2 American Luxury Car Marques

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Recently, the luxury car label Maybach has tripled its presence on the market and Aston Martin has strengthened its market presence, too... The South-Koreans and the Japanese have appeared with luxury car labels as well... In such a market environment the luxury car labels Rolls-Royce and Bentley should strengthen their positions, too - you don't want to be so small, do you?

I have the idea that Rolls-Royce and Bentley should produce their cars also in the USA... Everything would remain at the British design and production methods, only the name of the marques would change to Rose (Rolls-Royce) and to Lilly (Bentley)... This multiplication of luxury products could provide with true luxury to enthusiasts of American cars and stability to the mother companies...

I have connected Rolls-Royce and Bentley in this blog post because I think the 2 British luxury marques are still very similar regarding their roots...

Concept Of A French Luxury Car Marque

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Everybody can imagine how comfortable and safe self-driving cars could be as machines - for example computers - are created in order to make human life easier and more secure... The comfort and safety of self-driving cars could be improved if big luxury limousines had autonomous driving on board, replacing the driver by computers and sensor systems... Big luxury limousines without driver had the advantage that society shouldn't train an army of private drivers and the owners of luxury cars shouldn't spend lots of time by searching for workforce to drive their vehicles - if the demand for big luxury limousines keeps growing on...

For the enthusiasts of practicality: in big luxury limousines without a driver and with autonomous driving you would get one seat free for an additional passenger - the former driver's seat... A seat with a view!

So I think that autonomous driving could be a luxury feature of every luxury car of the future...

Concept Of A Japanese Luxury Car Marque

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Here you have my ideas for a Japanese luxury car marque:

Coachwork range: limousine - luxury car sizes

                               longer limousine - named "Lexus Tokyo"

                               coupé - 2-door, 4-seater

                               convertible - 2-door, 4-seater

                               van - with luxury rear, maybe a V8-engine

                               SUV - must be

                               super-sports car - I think a wide range of coach-works is luxury, too

Technology: 7-litre V12-engine or V8-engine

                     twin-turbocharged

                     600 - 700 HP of output, over 1,000 Nm of torque

                     plug-in-hybrid technology (additional output and torque)

                     gear-box: whatever you think is appropriate

                     aluminium space-frame or carbon fibre plastic

                     all-wheel-drive and all-wheel-steering

Luxury feature: fibreglass optic lamp in the middle of the car, either as bonsai or as cherry blossom

Beautiful Jaguar Design

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Graceful and traditional Jaguar-lines, a spacious and comfortable car-body and hopefully traditional propulsion... I think such vehicles make Planet Earth richer...

Entertainment Industry

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I think everybody agrees that human relationships and love, respectively are just as important in life as work... Partying in its widest sense (you could also say going out) is maybe the best way to establish human relationships... If you already have human relationships you can still establish new ones or maintain old ones through partying...

If you ever don't feel like working I guess it's time for going out - until your interpersonal desires are saturated... You must not neglect your interpersonal desires because otherwise you get sick, physically or mentally... Work is seductive because it is an obvious way to success but without human relationships and going out your life won't be so long either...

Moving Forward

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Nostalgia is a great joy but you have to discard garbage regularly and deal with the present and the future if you don't want to become sick and if you want to move forward... You cannot live only by tradition, at the same time you must learn from history...

What is the sense of a succession to the throne? It requires a Royal Family... And what is the sense of a Royal Family? A family is sexual... Unlike the enemy...

Why must a king live in luxury? Because a king is an entrepreneur, too... You are an entrepreneur because you want to make your dreams come true without having twinges of conscience, as you want to work much you also deal with politics... As a king is a soldier, too he realises work... Unlike the enemy...

Dignity is according to the Oxford Dictionary the state or quality of being worthy of honour and respect... I think you can also say that dignity is the capability of protecting your personality... I have the feeling you won't succeed alone in it...

Luxury is a major contribution to the warmth of the soul... So it is crucial in the king's or queen's making the right decisions... If luxury is not available it can be replaced by regular work... It is also clear that consumer society is not a mistake...

A Cosmopolitan Life-style

Ladies and Gentlemen,

There is a usual order in which I list my countries: France, Germany, Hungary, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia and United States of America... In this order I would like to live in all of my countries for at least 3, maximally 10 years... I would like to live mostly in my new castles and palaces... My more distant countries could be visited within the scope of holiday journeys...

I guess you only have to start once this life-style and you can sustain it for a very, very long time... I'm really attracted by a cosmopolitan life-style and I hope you could benefit from it... I could be a world-traveled and colourful king...

Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team

Little Political Vocabulary

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Here you have a couple of phrases and how I understand them:

dying for you country - it doesn't make much sense, living for your country means more possibilities

neon coloured Rolls-Royce - you represent many things and they should glance like that

power - it means tasks, work, duties and responsibility

lying - an interface between truth and the citizenship

telling the truth - far too populistic, a taboo, part of fairy tales (if you don't know the truth you cannot do any intellectual work)
