Rolls Royce Silver Shadow/Spur/Sprit advice

Doing that to a Rolls Royce should be a criminal offence.

I don't recommend a Jaguar of the same era, though - I recommended a much newer Jaguar. It is as much about image, though - I like Bentley, not Rolls Royce.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember snipped-for-privacy@defencecontracts.org.uk saying something like:

Why? It's only a car. Get a life.

You can call people Peasant when you're not looking at rusty old Rollers ;)

No, he's right.

If I had the money, and just for the halibut, I'd buy a 250GTO, redo the inside in neon and crushed pink velvet, put a Chevy small block in it, jack up the rear end and drive it up and down the street in front of your house every day.

Why? two reasons. 1. Because I can. 2. Evidently, it will piss you off.

  1. Because you have no class.

( snipped-for-privacy@defencecontracts.org.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

Be fair - he's talking about a 250GTO. Not exactly the best looking 250.

Now, if it'd been a Lusso, TdeF, SWB - or, to be frank, almost any other

250 - I'd be with you.

As it is, it'd just be revenge for all the 250GTEs that have been chopped up to make wannabe-GTOs.

Second that. One doesn't get the chance to see a real pimpmobile very often.

Maybe it's not the best looking 250, but it's by far the most expensive. That was the point. And anyone who thinks that ropey old mid 70s RRs have "class" is a laving rucking foonatic. Or a publican.

However, feel free to suggest which car I could better use, and which might be more likely to piss off this pillock if I paraded it up and down the street in front of his house.

Actually, I could prolly just buy a tatty Shadow, tint the windows really dark, lower it and put wide wheels and blue neon underneath. I think that would do it, and it would be a lot cheaper than any prancing horse.

Since when did money & taste go together?

ITYF that most of that class of RR driver have long since moved on to Spirits or Mulsannes.

I never said they did. I was just coming up with an example that could best piss off the misguided souls who feel strongly about it, and who cling to the belief that their knackered, tatty old RRs are somehow classy, even if they did only cost the said misguided souls five or ten grand.

*shudder*

That is *horrible*.

Mind you, that's what happens when you give a chav some cash.

However..... the PPC 'track day Roller' is an awesome idea.

Whatever heap of rubbish you currently drive. Feel free to drive up and down the road outside my house if you like, my house is set far enough back from the road, I can't see it.
