Superb

Walked through the factory when at Goodwood for a site meeting and what a place...

Have been into BMW, Mini, Toyota and others with work... nothing comes close to the whole RR ethos.

Good on yer...

Mind you... how on earth will you cope at the weekends when stuff breaks, leaks oil and rattles? :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

just don't do a Johnny Cash (altered to suit the current topic)

Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black.

One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand.

CHORUS
I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is a round.

So the very next day when I punched in
With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears
Now, I never considered myself a thief
RR wouldn't miss just one little piece
Especially if I strung it out over several years.

The first day I got me a fuel pump
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk
Then I got me a transmission and all of the chrome
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox
Like nuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home.

Now, up to now my plan went all right
'Til we tried to put it all together one night
And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong.





Well done matey. A good career choice. So the next time I see a 'homey' like P Doodley, or whatever his name is driving a Phantom, I shall think of our Robbo.

RR Phantom, hand built by Roberts.
