A matter of scale

[Bob G]

Last time I was in London Mayfair I saw this Rolls Royce and I immediately thought that it was out of scale with the other cars on the street.

FWIW I don't want one. I think it is hideously ugly and vulgar. And it's in OO.

I like the way it is taller than the van parked behind. Why would anyone want to driven in something that size in London while struggling to find a parking space that it fits in?

We seem to be in something of a boom time for uglification consultants in the motor industry.

If you can afford one of those, you can afford to park it wherever you want, whether there's a space there or not.

If I had paid the price of a house for a car I would be very careful where I parked it

And of course it has a personalised numberplate: B1ACK

Not as good as the soft top BMW I saw driven by a blonde which was M1LPH (mother I'd like to phone home)

Oh very eagle eyed. Well done that man!

Best plate on a Roller was Paul Raymond's FU2

Surely the best personalised Roller is FAB1...

Since when did Rolls Royce rip of Range Rovers? That's the ugliest Roller I have ever seen.

Ooh I'm considering a new big car as the trusty old Sorento is 14 years old now.  I could easily get my layout or my gigging drum kit in the back of that

At one time prestige cars such as Rolls Royce had understated elegance. Nowadays they have overstated arrogance. This change also applies to many of their customers.

Many years ago when on a business trip to Manchester, I was passed on the M62 by a blond lass in a BMW convertible with the number plate M1 NGE and she'd pushed it all together. Brazen, or what?

Fiona Richmond had a yellow E-type with the FU2 plate. I used to see it regularly in the Kings Road back in the early 1970s.

Best one I saw was MR51NGH - and, yes, the driver was wearing a turban.
