Roll's handmade. Hand making stuffs is to over rate them. :)
Audemars Piguet, Jacques Le Couture, Patek Phillipe... were all over rated as well. They can't tell time more accurately than a $5 china made digital quartz movement.

Yeah, as I said earlier, I think many people who chose the Rolls would actually get bored with it after owning it for a while. A '60s (and '50s) Rolls is what many people called Buicks (and old-man's car, kind of bland and boring).
This, of course, does not apply to the recent Rolls which are much more powerful and faster than the old ones.
I never get bored with my '69 Cad because every time I drive it (about once every 7-10 days), I give it a few full-throttle runs and some burnouts (with 525 ft-lbs of torque, it's kind of hard not to use it). I'm kind of surprised I haven't had to buy tires for it (yet). ;) Which reminds me... I better go out to the garage and check the right rear tire and make sure it still has some tread on it.

I can't believe you hate european luxury cars so much. According to you they are all absolutely rubbish... :rolleyes:
Further fanboy evidence, FLeet.
How many ROlls have you actually driven to make those comments ?
and HAD to love the equating of weight to handling :) :) :)

I woudl suggest what the author meant was that it didnt' wander quite so badly as the rest of the competition :)

I never once said I hated them. I have said some of them are overrated, when you separate fact from fiction. But that's not hate.
And I can say the same about many other's opinion on American cars.

You sure love that word "fanboy!"
Others have driven a Rolls and I am quoting their observations.
Yes, less wander but also more stable in strong crosswinds.
I'm 21. I would look ridiculous in a Roller.

I guess you would. You would look right at home, though, in some kind of Cadillac convertible... like a '68 or '69. :)
BTW, does anyone know exactly what year the Rolls in my first post is?
Quick research indicates it's a 1955-1966 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud. Possibly a Mk III ( a later version of the same car, with a facelift)
Or, if you'd actually read nota's post, what he said. it's a rebodied version of a 10 year old car (at the time).
Something, considering the slight updates touted as new models most manufacturers use, you'd be familiar with. ;)

So if you pull up to take your g/f ( or other ) to the club and draw up outside the club ...
WHICH car do you think attracts the kind of attention you'd appreciate ??
A rock stars car or your grannies old one :)
