Great Video:
I used to be an underage limousine driver back in the 1980’s (I am about Adam’s Age) when I put myself through college. The company had a few Rolls Royce with a Rolls Royce mechanic on staff. I went with the boss one year and had a private tour of the Rolls Royce ‘factory’ outside London one year – good times. (Think of Chris tagging along if Adam was ‘ordering’ from the factory).
Anyway, Those cars ‘Float’ and you did not have a sense of speed.
Two funny stories: I once drove down the wrong way on a one-way street in LA at dawn on a weekend in one a Silver Cloud – a guy had to shout at me to help me out. I was lost and was completely turned around. Luckily no traffic and a nice guy to set me in the right direction.
Another time I ‘broke down’ on the 1-10 by the old Fontana steel mill – I remember calling on the ‘car phone’ for the mechanic and having only one guy stopped to help – he was a black businessman driving a Mercedes. I thanked him but waited for the mechanic. This was pre-cell phone days.
I didn’t enjoy driving them – to much pressure and people fucked with you while driving – the RR also seemed to want to cruise at 90-100 mph.
P.S.: Good they finally solved the problem of people stealing/breaking the “Flying Lady” by having it retract. I also think it retracts if ‘hit” on impact.
Thanks for the video – glad to finally see an automobile that intimidates Adam Carolla! Next time dress formally! You are in the presence of greatness. 🙂
