Do Matchbox RRs and Bentley count? If so….

[manaboutown]

Good luck. I enjoyed owning a RHD 1954 Bentley Mark VI during the early 1970s and a LHD 1955 Jaguar XK 140 in the early 1960s while an undergrad but Porsche and BMW are my current vehicles.

Rolls Royce were never the same once they removed the side running boards.
We had nowhere to tie the dead sheep, or hay bales on our farm, and went over to pick ups instead.

WOW…OP is looking to start a club, posters seem upset that one would have a fine machine, want to get together, and enjoy experiences.

If you don’t have one why are you so upset, someone else does. I smile when I see the “RR” at neighborhood Walmart. Stop to take in its lines and craftsmanship.

In our past there was a RR and a B, in the family. My great uncle loved those cars, better than the 6 dealerships he owned. It was time of respect for a machine well made.

The time put into keeping it in top shape, and the time we kids piled in after riding, mud and all. (That story has been repeated at every family gathering for more years than I can count).

OP you might be better putting a notice of starting your club in the Rec center paper.

Green is a very good color on some posters

I didn't see the replies as being envy, I thought they were just good fun in reply to a tongue in cheek post.

However, I have seen a RR which is chiefer driven, sort of driving Miss Daisy, and I believe there is a Bentley.

I don’t know if you are the person that I talked to at the once a month C&C at Sumter, but if not there is at least one more. Good luck.

I had one also.

Did not attack anyone, not political, nothing about transgender, no dog poop.

Personal preferences are impacting this social board.

But yet, attacking a joke about shotguns is alive and well.

I agree.
Both these posts will probably disappear shortly as well.

Yes. It’s sad that people can’t just stick to the topic without starting up the clown show. I didn’t see the deleted posts, but I can imagine. The OP just happens to be one of my neighbors. He likes Rolls and is interested in starting a car club. But as usual people try to be cute. This site surely ain’t what it used to be when people tried to be helpful before they derailed a thread.

The two posts above are delightfully witty, not mean, at all……

Usually our resident Brit Two Bills takes the prize with me, but this time, I dare say village dreamer’s allusion to that classic ad for mustard can’t be topped.

Those who drive attention-getting cars expect comments and might even appreciate the good-natured humor as intended.

I love seeing a head-turning car. The closest I ever got to owning one was in the 70s with my second-hand Triumph GT6. I sure looked good driving that car. (Well…..looking back, I guess I looked good no matter where I was in the 70s (sigh)) …..

I loved that car…….even though somebody said I better get ready to put out for a Leyland Motors mechanic. I just smiled at that one. Did not take offense.

Those were the days when sports car drivers waved to each other on the road. There was a hierarchy involved though…..The driver of the less expensive car had to wave first. I had to wave first to a lot of Porsches and Jags……..But I digress — so, anyway…..

I still look at beautiful and classic cars, although now I drive around in an ordinary Accord.

I hope our OP finds his fellow enthusiasts in TV.

One of my neighbors has an older model Bentley and it is a fine looking car.

You probably already know but there is a RR/B Club in Orlando. I had to join a Jaguar club in Orlando since there wasn't one here. We had a joint drive trip one day that was fun.
