Little Booty

Sorry J Lo, that rules you out....

 

 

There's a 1951 Bentley Mark VI four door with the desirable 'small boot' at the Imperial Palace, Las Vegas.

 

 

'Big bore, small boot'. Sounds like my maths teacher at school.....

 

Apparently that boot is more attractive than this well 'bootied' R-Type shown here:

 

 

Here she is:

 

 

 

 

 

Elvis approves....

Wayne's World

 

'The Touring Shoppe', Las Vegas.

 

 

I was there this week only I missed seeing him this time, but Wayne André (who hails from none other than Irvine, California) does know his SYs and Szs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Older cars too:

Worth a visit if you're in 'Vegas.

 

Not a particularly glamorous location (who needs the fluff?) , but he knows Crewe cars inside and out.

 

And he's close to the 'Strip'. Just across the highway.

 

 

So remember, next time you're in 'Vegas, there's 'The Strip', the Hoover Dam, The Grand Canyon and 'Wayne's World' - The Touring Shoppe.

Phone ahead, though.

Superphantom

This one I like. A two toned Goodwood Phantom with 23 inchers:

 

Those twenty three inch alloys:

 

 

The two tone:

 

 

On sale at Rolls-Royce of Las Vegas (a.k.a. Towbin Motorcars)

 

 

 

Trés cool....

 

 

Nice one.

Altered Images

Las Vegas is full of interesting things:

 

Air vents:

 

 

 

 

Bar counter tops.

 

 

Store windows.

 

 

 

Ceilings.

 

 

But what are these...?

 

 

And this:

 

 

 

 

Hmmmm....

 

 

 

 

 

You knew that, right?

Now Repeat After Me....

"1964RRSCIIIMPWDHC"

 

Sorry, it's not a Mary Poppins phrase.

 

 

 

You'll figure it out:

 

 A 1964 Rolls-Royce.

 

 

Silver Cloud III.

 

 

Mulliner Park Ward.

 

 

Drop Head Coupé.

 

 

I guess we could always throw the letters 'CE' on the end too....

(Think about it...)

 

 

 

What a car.

For sale at the Imperial Palace Auto Collection in Las Vegas.

 

 

I would if I could, but I have medical bills on my old thing to pay.

Here is a video of the car.

Black is Black

Remember the song?

 

 

Well, I re-learnt the phrase in Las Vegas this week.

 

 

Yes, fabulous Las Vegas. Not exactly a RR & B spotting place but I can find them anywhere...

 

 

 

From my hotel room window 35 floors up:

 

 

 

Something sinister down below....

 

 

A blacked out Ghost sporting some rather nice 22" alloys.

 

 

 

But look at those tail lights....

 

 

Black as the Ace of Spades.

 

 

 

Nice look.

 

 

But the next day I spot this....

 

 

Not sure about the black alloys, but look what we have here....

 

 

 

All out black:

 

 

 

But they missed the tail lights on this one.

 

 

 

 

Not really my cup of tea, but interestingly different...

And here is a video, with seemingly appropriate music.
