I rolled up on a guy in a mustang who was trying to make everyone see him. He looked over at me in my new Jag and his heart sunk. I kinda felt cool for a few seconds until I looked, and saw a feller in a new phantom next to me, and suddenly I was no longer special. Just like that. Like a balloon popping.
Labour Party split forming New Party which then renamed to British Union of Fascists and National Socialists party or Communism in shorthand , equity politics. Pretty much exactly what morons are protesting for in the U.S. currently. History can teach us a lot if we try to understand it.
I have the answer. Toyota. I mean like dude to bust a Toyota u gotta be driving that thing for like 300k miles minimum. Unless u drive like a madman then that number might go down to 200k
@@basshead. lol I mean the engine itself is all original of course every thing around the engine and trans has been replaced and every last price of rubber hose is dry rotted but I tell you what that thing still runs like a champ
Speaking of the Spitfire, I'm rather upset they didn't mention the Merlin engine, which powers the Spitfire, which also powers the P-51 Mustang, which is regarded as the best fighter airplane ever made.
I don't know anything about cars. But I love this channel cause you are very entertaining. Crack me up. And I learn a little something also. Keep up the good work
Greg Johnson Donut singlehandedly taught me so much of what I know about cars (or at least the history and backstory of brands and models). They also helped me understand some of the basic mechanical concepts from their Science Garage show
Not just in front the brits, in front of the whole world, and it's true he doesn't have to. It's actually their government is the stupidest which causes the stereotype
*Supermarine S.6B (Supermarine was a British aircraft manufacturer that produced the Spitfire fighter plane, and a range of seaplanes and flying boats. The company had successes in the Schneider Trophy for seaplanes, with three wins in a row of 1927, 1929 and 1931) rather than Submarine...
@@ScotSteam47 yes Cullinan was a human being and one of the British Generals whom named an area in South Africa after himself during the Gold and diamond rush in South Africa..
Early models of the P-51 used an American designed/built Allison engine but the US was pretty far behind UK/Germany in terms of aircraft and engine design so it was switched out for the RR Merlin also used in the Spitfire.
Right!? One of the very first Silver Ghosts created now has over 1,000,000 miles on it and is worth something stupid like $30 million (might be off on that last number, but it's definitely double digit mil's). How could you leave that fact out?
Old machines are so crazy relieable, becuae they are overbuilt and inefficient as fuck. Nowadays things are build to last for a predetermined ammount of time/miles/cycles/whatever. This greatly improved efficiency.
Would have loved to hear more about Rolls-Royce designing and building engines for military aircraft. The Supermarine Spitfire always used Rolls-Royce engines. They also powered the De Havilland Mosquito, and Hawker Hurricane. Rolls-Royce also designed the engine for the P-51 Mustang. Rolls-Royce helped win the bloodiest conflict the world has ever seen! They continue to make jet engines for modern aircraft.
The company that built the S6B was caller Supermarine. You know... the guys that built the Spitfire. You can even see a family resemblance between the racer and the fighter. Cheerio !
I grew up in the town that MC Hammer retired in. There was a gym on the South side of town that, for a while, my dad had signed the family up for. Turns out MC Hammer went to that gym. While I never met him, we did get to see him driving out of the parking lot in his Rolls Royce. That was pretty cool.
I drive a Durango and in my town, I'm one of the very few people who own a Durango. The newest model. That alone made me feel very cool because I keep my car clean and shiny. I have it waxed and I even have tire shine on the tires. I was at light and a Rolls pulled up next to me. Man when I tell you I felt a sting, I'm not exaggerating. Rolls Royces have this overwhelming presence about them that I can't quite explain
Make an up to speed on Alpina. Just like RUF they are classified as a car manufacturer, not a tuner. Their older models were oldschool engine tuned while the looks were so classy😏
Recently the wife and I had the pleasure of being driven to the airport in a Ghost. Boy let me tell ya that ride is every bit as smooth and comfortable as they say, and we were going over some very bad roads. And the interior? Fuggetaboutit. The carpet was thick, the cushions were soft. We had driven around in a BMW 8 Series just a few days earlier and the Rolls blew that thing out of the water in terms of style, comfort and just general awe. The thing had me giggling like a child, I was so darn giddy.
Ehhh I see RR here in Toronto quite often, once a week. Bently here and there, Lamborgini all the time and others. People walk by, fancy or not, they know "oh rich guy, who cares". When I drive by in my SVX, driver's necks break as they turn in amazement. People approach it, every day theres a parking lot talk, every mechanic I drive by gives a thubs up. People never race me (exept one civic guy that was racing everyone one night). Motorcycle guys look back and thumbs up me. Now thats true celebrity status to me. I hope everyone will one day receive that and enjoy their car as much as me. Up to speed on SVX, lets goooooo.
I once saw a rolls Royce driving around my home town where everyone either has a pickup truck or a 10 year old sedan. This guys car was the word around town for the next two days
I think the closest I've ever been to a Rolls Royce was a Phantom, and god they are damn huge. I was working with my father on a Mk.1 Golf in a workshop out of town (México). And we saw the car being pulled out from getting washed. They had recently replaced one of the door's handles. Just the piece alone cost around 60K Mexican pesos (Around 2.7K US). Boy, I don't know how much time it will pass until I ever forget that car
@@zirkh1609 same thing that happened to every other Box body car. Sacrificed looks for Aerodynamics and fuel economy. And during the 2000s people wanted sedan's. Now people want trucks or horsepower once again.
HI !! This guy is so much Fun to watch .!!!! Hes like a teacher > He knows alot about cars , and explains very well the kind of motors they have . Good job !
