Oh good. I ordered 3.

Yeah that’s the ticket.

😜😜😜

So...where do you THINK all that COVID money and ‘aid’ to the Ukraine was going?

[Da Coyote]

Heh, and guess who’s buying them? Those folks pushing bug eating and electric cars on we proles. Always remember where these folks live and their habits - we’re going to need that info. They can have only so much protection.

The headline doesn't make any sense - luxury brands aren't supposed to be affected by economic trends. Only faux-luxury brands that appeal to aspirational consumers will see any big hits to their sales.

[Señor Presidente]

But are they battery-powered???

[SaveFerris]

I’ll have to ask my chauffeur!!

🤣😃😜

They do have an electric one nowadays.

Of course.

I used to work in a shipyard. Rolls Royce is heavily involved in the marine industry and we frequently had their tech reps in the yard. I always asked them if they could get me a discount on one of their cars. Not one of them thought that was funny, but I always did.

The purpose of the plandemic was to exterminate small businesses and transfer all wealth to the global elite.

It worked!

They have 1 EV. Are the Brits making ICE cars illegal?

[Huskrrrr]

They’re kind of “boxy” looking for my tastes. I’ll pass.

[healy61]

Boxey is one word. I was thinking more of tank complete with nearly olive drab colour.

[gloryblaze]

All in due time, my FRiend... all in due time.

I’m waiting for Rolls Royce to come out with a golf cart so I can look snazzy as I zip around a retirement community.

[libertylover]

I couldn’t afford one if you gave it to me.

Must be all those lower and middle class people trading in their gas guzzling junkers for those inexpensive, Rolls Royce EVs. This will help them save money on their monthly automobile expenses AND save the planet . . .

[neverevergiveup]

~$2.9 billion for building 6000 cars. Not bad.
