Ferrari Mailing List: Ferrari's and dresssing well....sort of

[philville (philville]

There used to be aq guy in the Outer Banks of North Caolina who had a Cloud II 
which he apparently lifted off the chassis and put it on a 4 wd chassis 
Suburban etc. I never did meet him, but thought he must be a class act. Phil

> Which Rolls Royce model do you drive?
I drive a 1970 2 tone series 1 Silver Shadow.... which is the era I like... 
still chrome bumpers and simple as an axle compared to computer infested 
cars of later years... one of the same reasons I wanted the carbed 308 
also.. fuel injection to me means "to modern!". lol

I also love the simple lines of the early GTB... I will take a slower older 
less dianamically "good" car just because it looks so right to my eye.

I know what you mean about the impressions people take... I mostly drive a 
horrible 25 year old japanese van that has not seen a carwash in years... I 
need it for work every day... and I smile at people in BMW's or Jags that 
look down their nose at me in that...

You can never tell what people are really like at a glance.
One chap arould here looks like a total street bum with old clothes, crazy 
hair and an old beat up japanese car... he came to me for help one day when 
he was shiffing into his house as he didn't know many people here and he 
could not lift some things, I gave hime a hand and a few weeks later was 
invited into his shed to see 2 Corvettes and 7 Rolls Royces (from Cloud to 
Corniche convertable).

As for what car to arrive in... if I got to do a quote for work in the RR or 
Ferrari people will automatically think it's going to be expensive!
And it's best to trun up to look at buying something in the old van and not 
the RR THATS for sure!

lol

People are funny animals really.

Odd thing is I really enjoy driving my RR at night as then I can relax and 
just enjoy the car without other people even knowing what I am driving.
Regards
Gavin
