Have you ever had the possible misfortune of having a Rolls-Royce car ?

Hi folks,

Some years back I mistakingly had a Silver Shadow Mk 2
Painted gold with a black rag roof.

OK, they look the part, but are totally impractical.

The item had a 7litre engine, but as it weighed nearly 3 tons, it refused to accelerate at a decent pace.
It also disliked corners, so just sort of wallowed around.
I was forever wondering where the next petrol station was.
Also it took up two parking spaces, and was in constant danger of having a coin or knife scratched down the side.

The value of it was similar to a new Vauxhall Corsa.

Any similar episodes with Rollers ?

Bob
