Cant stand the blue one but the white one is the nicest car I have ever seen in my life (apart from the interior)

Nail on head, I think. As if they weren't vulgar enough in standard form.

Now the mighty have fallen since the Germans took the reins.

Yes, RR has certainly lost the charm and delightful lines of the Silver Ghost of 1906, but I think that started in the 1970s when they became very mundane with a suspect finish. 

They have become huge Germanic beasts now........but I would still like one!!

The current German-made cars are technological titans without doubt but seem to have lost the elegance of their predecessors.

They are classic examples Zulu!

This, to me, will always be the classic Rolls Royce; the Silver Ghost:


In the 1960s my brother had a Dinky model of this car and  just loved the wonderful lines and attractive colour.  In real life they are even more brilliant. 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

Just think of the work involved in those mudgards  8-) (I'm assuming that a press wasn't used)

Yes eveyone built by craftsmen, and therefore, like all machines in the pre-computer age, each car was unique and individual.

This applied to craftsman built aircraft, ships, and I well know steam railway engines, often lined up say in the Great Western Railway 'A' shop in Swindon, with string and human visual skills acquired over years of experience.  Every machine would have its own character. 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-).

Mind you after watching the documentary on Rolls Royce Trent jet engines being built I now realise that even in this high tech, computer driven age, machines can still be unique.
I loved the fact that each turbine blade, although precision made to very fine tolerances, had to be individually balanced and sighted in its own unique slot on the turbine 'ring'.

Well done there Lizzie   I recorded this on the MCE box and promptly forgot about it - I'll have a treat in store for later.

You will indeed Zulu!!

It is an absolutely fascinating and engrossing documentary, which for us who love engineering it teaches so much and highlights how Britain is still great in this field if no other! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

I like the new Roller - there's a black one near to me, and looks excellent. Can't even hear it waft past!

How much chrome and general bling is on this though.............

[OMEEEGAH]

i like rollers and bentleys and for around 20 grand the price of a new mondeo you can buy a amazing arnage or somthing.

if you look on ebay theres some cracking big rolers out there that cost 150 grand new and still look current models.

i have had the chance to buy a roller but spent the money on a mitsubishi evolution

I think for even us used to Omega fuel useage the average 14 mpg for the rollers is just that bit too shocking!
