Ahh... Here's a Rolls/Hotel story...
Ahh, not an Uber, I just have a lot of very special friends, like yourself!
Just before the pandemic, I was walking with my friend, we were sharing a room together at the same hotel in Los Angeles. And I told him to be on the lookout for a house car to pick us up at a specific intersection. He pointed at a white Rolls-Royce Phantom and said this car looks like it's waiting for someone. I said, it couldn't be that car, since no hotel would go through the extra expense of getting a Phantom when a Ghost would be perfectly sufficient. My friend didn't really know the difference between a Phantom and a Ghost, so what I said went in one ear and out the other. He looked at the side of the car and noticed there was a little log that resembled the hotel and pointed this out to me. All I could say at this point was, "you're absolutely right, my mistake."
They see me rollin…..
Custom 1974 Silver Shadow, owned and customized by Mike Skinner (The Streets) in the mid 2000s. Original Pirate Material, first album, is one of my favourite albums from the 2000s. At the time I shared a house with 2 college buddies, each of us bought the...
Yeah. Hard to beat an old Rolls like this.
There’s an all original one of these in the garage I use, and while it’s great I think I’d be much more drawn to this one here.
You ain't seen nothin'....
unless you seen how dey be rollin' Rollses in L.A. 'fool' LMAO........ ...
First time I visited Beverly Hills in the early '80s...
...was the first time I saw Rolls Royces double parked on Rodeo Drive. They were like Volkswagen Beetles there : )
Rolls / Rodeo
Last time I was there: Owner must have been in another store because we were the only customers in the Grand Seiko boutique... ...
If they were buying a Grand Seiko...
...they would send their 'people' inside. They wouldn't be caught dead buying something so common : )
Yes, a little OTT but that’s the point right.
I think the wheels make it. The interior was heavily modified too.
I have shared this one before but this is a great combo imho 😉
Love these older RRs 👌🏻 ...
Was just in a Rolls yesterday...
Took a ride in a Ghost to dinner yesterday, still the finest machine on the road.
You guys have some fancy Ubers out West !
I’ve been in a Rolls only a handful of times, all courtesy of a hotel I stayed in several times in the 2000s.

Cool story.
The Phantom is what I was in those times I believe. I know zero about RR really, so any car would have impressed me ! 😂
The previous generation Phantom was something really special..
The previous generation Phantom, known as the Phantom VII (seventh generation) came out around 2003 and left us around 2017 or so. The car was made in a completely different way than any other car. First, you had an entire aluminum architecture that was b...
More than anyone needs to know 😂
But thanks for writing. The model name Wraith never crossed my view before, even though I’ve seen a few around. It’s kind like Ferrari, it’s irrelevant to me which model it is as I’ll never own one. It’s good enough to just know it’s a Ferrari or a RR. ...
True!
But people used to buy RRs just because it was a special brand, but the cars were awful to drive, terrible seating position, etc. For me, I really have to know the mechanics about the car - especially since I wouldn't want to be stranded! You can buy watc...
MORE Rolls on Rodeo
Look past my beautiful Jaguar can you see that discreet cabriolet? Just in case you missed it in the first photo Just down the block ... See and be seen, but discreetly Cazalea ...
