It's apparent one of the things he didn't do with money from folks who
got on the telephones is take care of his car.

Not sure if the radio is a shortwave one, but it's obviously a more
modern replacement.

I know a married Irish woman wayyyyyy over yonder across the big
pond.She lives about seven or eight miles from the Goodwood Rolls Royce
factory.Rolls Royce used to have a factory back in the 1940's in
Massachusetts.They were building them better than the Rolls Royce
factory in England and the Rolls Royce factory in England didn't like
that.Their "official story" in England was that the market in
U.S.A.wasen't big enough.In 1956,you could buy a brand new Rolls Royce
for $12,500.

MSH,

First - The "BAT" Mobile !

Then - The "POPE" Mobile !

Now - The "DOC" Mobile )

only one rolls royce - i thought he owned a fleet ! ~ RHF

Doc is well known as being a perfectionist, but he let this Rolls go to
hell. No doubt it didn't mean as much to him as his horses or stamp
collection. It's pretty hard to crack Rolls leather seats, but he managed to
do it. I bet it was used as an errand car by the church or something...

While Connolly leather is top quality stuff, you still have to take care
of it. They sell their own brand of hide food.

And it ain't cheap. I won a Connolly leather care kit as a 'door
prize' at a car show when I had my Lotus on display. A guy approached
me on the swap field and I wound up trading it for a pair of radiator
fan motors for my 308 GTS.

Them hide eat better than I do.

There used to be a big old Goodwill store on Palmyra Street in down town
Jackson.They closed that old store down about seven years ago.I used to
take another route when I left that store and I remember seeing what I
think might be an early 1960's Austin Healy convertible car sitting
inside of an open front garage at a house on one of them back Streets.I
dont think that car had been driven in many years.I am going down town
tomorrow on Wilmington Street to buy a big thirty four pound bag of
Chicken Soup For The Dog Lovers Soul dog food for my little doggy.
www.chickensoupforthepetloverssoul.com (she eats better than I do) If I
think about it,I might see if that old car is still there.If it's for
sale,I would give them $100.00 for the old car,take it or leave it.

LOL, one of the ugliest engine compartments I've seen in a long time.

I wonder if his Jack Russells rode in the back seat of the Rolls. Hyper
little *******s...

It doesn't smoke? The ones from the mid 70's sure did. Brand new, most
of the time. I was soooo happy to flunk all the Rollses, Benzes, and
Beemers when they came in for emissions testing, just to see the look on
the owner's faces. The Beemers and Benzes just put out too much CO, but
the Rolls motors were total crap. They failed often, tossing rods and
spinning bearings. They made jet engines too.....scary!

One guy had just bought a Rolls in Beverly hills and it had about 1200
miles on it when he took it home to Vegas and had to register it in
Nevada as a used car. It smoked like hell and he went ballistic when I
told him he needed to take it to the local Rolls place.

The Rolls place passed it, and got nailed by DMV for it. That thing had
the piston rings of a 150,000 mile Ford Pinto..

Ever since Jaguar merged with Ford,the build quality of Jaguar cars went
wayyyyyy up.There is another brand name of brit cars that is very good
on build quality (it isn't Rolls Royce or Bentley or Aston Martin) but I
can't think of the brand name just now.Some of y'all limeys out
there,display a list of brit cars to help me jog my memoryrectomy
