It's Gumball 3000 Time!

I'm a big fan of the Gumball 3000. It kicks off this weekend.

There are a number of Bentley and Roll-Royce cars on the rally.

Here is a preview.



This one is subtle.

Velvet Green

My favourite thing.

No, not green velvet....

OK Bruce, I said NOT.....

Jeez...

Anyway my favourite Rolls-Royce in Velvet Green.

Yes, a Camargue.

Just over 500 ever built. Once the most expensive production car in the world. Like buying a Bugatti Veyron today.

Only VERY important people bought these cars new...

This 1976 example is for sale. I would if I could but I have another commitment.

The famous Pininfarina design.

Sooo seventies.

With it's famous aircraft cockpit style gauges.

Biscuit tan leather.

Seating for four only.

She's available right here:

Oooh, Fashion...!

"Fashion! 
Turn to the left 
Fashion! 
Turn to the right 
Oooh, fashion! 
We are the goon squad and we're coming to town 
Beep-beep Beep-beep "

None other than David Bowie singing that one.

 - But wait a minute,  Rolls-Royce has got into it too.....

Oi!, Turn the left...!

Sorry, the right....

Anyway, Rolls-Royce has something, euh... different:

"This season, Rolls-Royce presents a fresh take on monochromatic styling with Wraith Inspired by Fashion. This look is all about strong contrasts, ultra-luxe fabrics and couture-inspired detailing.

Chic, distinctive and effortlessly stylish, Inspired by Fashion's contemporary styling has timeless appeal."

Call Security to aisle five! Steering wheel theft!

"Punctuated with a choice of three vivid accent colours, tailor the look to reflect your own personal style. Or go Bespoke and commission your own unique expression of Wraith."

"We are the goon squad and we're coming to town 

Beep-beep Beep-beep " - David Bowie there.

 

"There's a brand new talk, but it's not very clear 

Oh bop 
That people from good homes are talking this year 
Oh bop, fashion It's loud and tasteless and I've heard it before 
Oh bop 
You shout it while you're dancing on the ole dance floor 

Oh bop, fashion " - David Bowie again.

"Style, inspired by fashion – this Wraith captures the allure of haute couture in the same way as a designer is inspired by their muse."  RR Motorcars.

"Listen to me - don't listen to me 

Talk to me - don't talk to me 
Dance with me - don't dance with me, no 
Beep-beep 

Beep-beep " - David Bowie.

And my own line:

Can somebody get the door for me...?

 

"Beep beep"

Just making light of it.

"Oh, bop, do do do do do do do do 

Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion 
Oh, bop, do do do do do do do do 
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion 

La-la la la la la la-la"

Custom luggage too.

"There's a brand new talk, but it's not very clear 
Oh bop 
That people from good homes are talking this year 
Oh bop, fashion It's loud and tasteless and I've heard it before 
Oh bop 
You shout it while you're dancing on the ole dance floor 
Oh bop, fashion "

Mr (not 'Sir' -he turned the knighthood down) Bowie, "Didja order one yet?"

Opinions, anyone?
