Rick Damelian is an automotive retailer on Paramatta Road, somewhere. They have nice, big, shiny showrooms, where they display their multi-million dollar automotive masterpieces, such as the majestic and somewhat imposing Rolls Royce Phantom (a.k.a ROLLA), which was advertised as follows:
THE BEST OF PRESTIGE
2008 Rolls Royce Phantom - As new, 1,300 Kms Only
OUTSTANDING OPPORTUNITY TO SAVE OVER $350,000 ON NEW RRP WITH OPTIONS
(PICTURE OF CAR)
Majestic & Imposing $699,500*
For the Elite Only
yada yada yada
What I definately like most about the ad is the SAVE OVER $350,000 part. Some houses out west cost that much. Oh, but that doesn't matter to sir, because his chauffer-drive Rolls Royce doesn't travel further than Leichardt.
This car doesn't classify as a car. No. It's 7 metres long. It's a boat. It has a turning circle of 15 metres. It has fuel economy of astronomical proportions. It has a twin turbo charged, 450kW V12 engine, but a power to weight ratio of around 120kW to the tonne, and a 0-100km/h speed of 8 seconds. Briefly, it's a big, heavy motherf****r, that you would park in your driveway, and no matter how big your driveway is, its behind would still venture out into the street. You'd park one end of the car in your driveway and the other end would be in the next suburb.
I looked at the ad and laughed.
And laughed.
And laughed.
And congratulations to Jenson Button. 2/2. Very Nice.
And they don't let you test drive it anyway.
And does anyone know how to upload photos on this thing?
