We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember unit244 (AT) defencecontracts (DOT) org.uk
saying something like:

Doing that to a Rolls Royce should be a criminal offence.
Why? It's only a car. Get a life.

No, he's right.

If I had the money, and just for the halibut, I'd buy a 250GTO, redo
the inside in neon and crushed pink velvet, put a Chevy small block in
it, jack up the rear end and drive it up and down the street in front
of your house every day.

Why? two reasons. 1. Because I can. 2. Evidently, it will piss
you off.

Be fair - he's talking about a 250GTO. Not exactly the best looking 250.

Now, if it'd been a Lusso, TdeF, SWB - or, to be frank, almost any other
250 - I'd be with you.

As it is, it'd just be revenge for all the 250GTEs that have been chopped
up to make wannabe-GTOs.

Second that. One doesn't get the chance to see a real pimpmobile very
often.

Maybe it's not the best looking 250, but it's by far the most
expensive. That was the point. And anyone who thinks that ropey old
mid 70s RRs have "class" is a laving rucking foonatic. Or a publican.

However, feel free to suggest which car I could better use, and which
might be more likely to piss off this pillock if I paraded it up and
down the street in front of his house.

Actually, I could prolly just buy a tatty Shadow, tint the windows
really dark, lower it and put wide wheels and blue neon underneath. I
think that would do it, and it would be a lot cheaper than any
prancing horse.

ITYF that most of that class of RR driver have long since moved on to
Spirits or Mulsannes.
