Time warp lost Photo from 1980

In 1980 I was at the Rolls-Royce dealer (Stanley Harvey's Ltd.) in Belfast showing off my photos to the manager when a customer showed interest . He and his business manager gave me a lift back to my house in his nice 1978 (I think) Silver Shadow II, and chatted with my parents while I took photos of the car on our street. I took one photo of the two gentlemen with the car and once the photos were developed (a week later -no digital cameras back then) I dropped the only copy off to his office in Belfast. I didn't need a photo of two guys blocking the view of a nice Silver Shadow- and forgot about it.

Last year I finally got a scanner that can do negatives as well as regular pictures, so I started looking through all my negatives for something interesting.

To my amazement, I found this shot that that I had completely forgotten about.

It is in my gallery of photos , but it only surfaced in 2009.

Nice attire...I wonder where Jackie Rodgers is now. He made my day..

G20 standoff in Las Vegas

We survived the G20 business in Toronto last weekend. Lots of people giving the other side hard stares.

This could be the Volkswagen-BMW hard stare. Who's side should you take?

Window Stickers

The window stickers in a new 2009 Phantom last year.

And a 2010 Ghost this year in Las Vegas.

The Ghost has a lesser 'Gas Guzzler' tax.

Only the Americans could use such a phrase.

Towed of Toad Hall (or more sad Rollers)

So, his Lordship needs to tow something with his Silver Shadow and his local RR dealer will not supply a trailer hitch.

Off he goes to the local blacksmith for a custom fit . One must rip off the rear bumper, though.

Mind you, if you're a Rolls-Royce, it's better to be the 'Trail-er' than the 'Trail-ee':
