Monster Garage Trash

On occasions Bentley Spotting does feature some low brow trash. This post it total toilet humour.

Monster Garage was a popular television show for the Discovery Channel hosted by Jesse G. James.

One episode they built this. A 1969 Rolls-Royce Sewage Sucker. Very subtle toilet humour.



The show takes cars and makes them into 'monsters'. This monster was a machine that sucked sewage from portable toilets into a tank mounted in the boot.



Not just a gold Spirit of Ecstasy here, no no - everything is gold!

Slight different to the standard life of a Silver Shadow.





The machine acquired additional parts that included a vacuum pump, water pump, switches, brackets, secondary filter trap, pipes and fittings, hoses, ball valve, oil trap, high idle cable and wheel adapters.



The show was assisted by Matthew DeAnda a service technician at Rolls-Royce and Bentley of Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA.

He arrived at the 'Monster Garage' in a Bentley Arnage.

Here is a short video of some of Jesse G. James's antics.



A number of monsters were for sale this year at a Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction.

Trash-a-rama!

Haha, a Rolls-Royce sewage sucker from Monster Garage! That's definitely low-brow, but memorable. Talk about taking a classic and turning it into… well, something else entirely. It reminds me of the satisfying clink of fitting shapes perfectly together in Block Blast , completely different, but equally engaging. Thanks for sharing this odd piece of automotive history!
