The reality is that back then anyone with money bought a mighty Linlcon or Cadillac over that boring shoe box. Then in the '80s as American cars started to loose their artistic and engineering quality they moved to Mercedes-Benz, which were still better cars and for less money. Only now is Rolls truly doing cars worthy of it pretensions; but still, any German will give the same for less.
keith moon died from his generally quite "extravagant" lifestyle he did drive a bentley into a pool though (while on drugs) and wenn people started saying, that he drove a rolls royce into a pool he wanted to really do that and drove a rolls royce into a duckpond... (while on drugs)
Top Gear is awesome! I love Clarkson's way of life! XD But... oh well, I felt sad for this magnificent masterpiece Rolls Royce. I mean, it doesn't matter if its rusted, faded, if it has 200k miles or if its 'oldfashioned'. Rolls is Rolls. Timeless.
Hammond once said in an interview that whenever they trash a car they always choose the most rusty, wretched, knackered beyond repair examples they can find. And in some cases the cars they mangle are saved. An example is the green Dolomite from the British Leyland special. That car is now being fully restored by a private owner.
Absolutely. I've also heard about this before. As for the destroyed cars, they were in very bad condition. Anyways, I just said it because I love Rolls and lol makes me want to cry to see a real masterpiece of engineering sinking in a pool.
Rock and Roll Clarkson! Laughed my head off when I first saw this - that's the way to open a pool - I particularly liked it when he asked who he sees about his cheque!!
I read about this. It is, of course, staged. Note the pool outbuildings in the background are still boarded up, and also the fact that there were cameras pre-positioned underwater. But who cares? It's really funny! If you have read the magasine article about it you'd know how difficult it was to pull it off.
That was BRILLIANT!!!! though he didnt need to go thoruogh all that trouble with the paint and stuff, Keith painted his with lilac house paint! tere's another video on here of top gear when fellow Who member Roger Daltrey is interviewed and talks about the time Keith Drove his into a pool...if it actually happened....it's an urban legend. But it does seem like the kind of thing that Keith moon would do! He was such a legend!
no all american comedys are the worst films and are generally atrocious. they aer trying to itimidate the world, they are hated across the world (the uk likes them-ISH) no where else does.
Yeah whatever. See Mr Bean or Monty Python or even Hot Fuzz. they're all British and make the whole world laugh whereas when the Americans make comedy,people have to interpret the joke before knowing what it meant
it was a refrence to The Who, Kieth Moon who had a rolls painted his lylac and one da drove it into a lake on purpose,Jeremy drove it ito a pool as a Refrence
any one know the name of the song right at the Begining?? The Who song is the second song am looking for the first
