Any mile with that car is a mile in style.
It's a Myle then
Thanks Ed for all the brilliant prep and having me along on the journey! I truly loved that Rolls, and I can't think of a finer crew to have shared my 13th competitive cannonball. On to our next adventure!
I’d love to join on the next one.
I have a car no one’s probably ever drove in a cannon ball 87 ford escort exp sport
Was so cool watching that thing Rolls down the road.
I see what you did there
An amazing journey with great people. Thanks to everyone who made it possible.
Watching that Rolls go by on camera was amazing. Quite the machine!
Amazing run in an iconic way. Always happy to have you out and more importantly as a friend! Well done!
So fun to have run with you, and great to see the Rolls put up a good number!
I have to say it was a bucket list item ticked off to see the Rolls run the event, I think it was everyones dream car to run in a Cannonball. Congratulations to everyone involved, awesome run guys. Im also incredibly greatful to get to do all these adventures with my friends, the convoy to Vegas was mindblowing!
I saw this car a few weeks ago on the a turnpike in north Oklahoma City. Got so hyped when I saw the VinWiki decal cause I knew what was up. My girlfriend was very confused lol.
My grandfather has a 1980 Silver Shadow II with 8K miles on the clock! It has been parked since 1982 without even being started. Would love to go for a ride in that car.
Hopefully you had the sheik music playing at some point through trip
I can’t believe it made it. Maybe I don’t need to LS swap mine…
Ed, we need Cameron’s story of the Mercedes 6.9!!
11:09 - Christopher!!!! The VinWiki GOAT!!! More of him, please!
Fun fact: it is the licenced Citroën D-Modell hydropneumatic system opperating the suspencion, the breaks, the stearing system and the gear box at the same time and its not at all expensive to maintain in a Citroën D-Modell and it got very reliable when the green LMH came around as hydraulic fluid by the summer of 1967. Mercedes Benz in the W100 and the W109 cut of the connection with the different systems and made the it very reliable with the ordinary red hydraulic oil. Rolls Royce stuck to the red hydraulic stuff and to the Citroën system connections and to the high pricing. Thus Rolls Royce and Bentley touched the short stick on the price tagg (obcene high) and the reiability (unreliable as hell) while Mercedes and Citroën sorted out both of those two issues by the end the 1960th.
Harry Metcalf drove his '69 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow to the Arctic Circle and back. That would be a great VINwiki story.
The homage to the movie complete with matching outfits, on Halloween weekend, was epic!
I’d be interested in a detailed walkaround of all the junk you’ve collected in the background of your “set”
I had my doubts about that car making it across but was pleasantly surprised to see it when we arrived. Great times as always, see you on the next one!
Amazing to see my family’s Rolls Royce makes it across the United States!
Ed has a Diablo SV Way to go brother
That Rolls'was so cool, had a fantastic time on the event with you guys, New York to California #usexpress #cannonball #teamcrossfire
Pub2pub made a roadtrip from London to Hanoi (vietname) in v8 RR and v8 Corvette.
Saw that same RR in Viantiane Laos in 2015...
Motoring is merely driving, unless you’re behind the wheel of a Rolls-Royce Fine Motorcar.
Keeping the stereotypical "STIFF UPPER LIP" while waiting for the inevitable mechanical disaster that will endure Motoring Adventure
Mr. Jeeves Pass Me Some Grey Poupon.
the Grey Poupon is awesome!
I have always thought a LS swapping and Wilwood update breaking system would make a 1960s-1979 Rolls Royce such a great GT cruiser!
I've considered doing the same. I'd even consider an 80s Silver Spur or Bentley Mulsanne. Remove the trouble spots and leave the comfort.
Only Americans could say this, blasphemy...
Well this RR did pass it's 8 MoTs between 2006 to 2013 (with a couple of minor advisories and not one leak!) before it was exported from the UK so it was looked after, but most years it did less miles than in this 36h dash! But seems a bit unfair to run this old girl up to 122... 🤷♂️
“They’re all worth 5 but every wants 15 so you get it for 10” if that ain’t the most accurate thing I ever heard 😂😂
You need a photo with Jamie Farr, the team and the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@VINwiki An idea for Ed for a cannonball-esque run. The Run of Unlove. Essentially all the unloved cars throughout the years like a Chevrolet Celebrity, a Buick Reatta, a Chrysler New Yorker, a Geo Metro, an Edsel, etc. Just a bunch of cars that have the collectability of used socks. Maybe even a trophy for the most unloved car at the end.
Nice! Now it would be fun to do it in an old Jag!
Been done in 2019. Guys from England shipped a right hand drive jag sedan over
To his credit, it IS rather difficult ordering food at 140 miles an hour! 🤣🤣🤣
Amazing that old girl made it! Great story, Thanks
Ed if you need a place to leave the Rolls-Royce I have a perfect place here in NASCAR USA North Carolina for it! Looking to do a LS swap and full Wilwood swap.
I don’t think Ed knows the difference in selling and talking.
This is Murica, Ed. We use QUARTs of oil, not liters.
But it's British. It uses litres.
Harry Metcalf did it in his Rolls
Love this RR story .. thx !
Checked my car with lemon squad it was a good experience, but some people I know had much worse ones, probably depends on the mechanics in the area where the car is
The fact that most Indie Mechanics would turn their nose up at the opportunity to work on a Rolls Royce just goes to show how L-A-Z-Y many of them really are. Challenging? Nonsense - it's not a Soviet-era nuclear reactor, it's a CAR.
I love Rolls Royce
Right hand drive.
What did you end up doing with the car?still have it?
What an epic way to do it. 🤣
Jeez. Who’s the model in that TVR? 🎉
I looked at the ultimate road trip list its definitely geared towards cannonballing Ed Bollian cars.
Would you ever consider a cannonball run event with trucks only?
I would have replaced the brakes and shocks systems with a new setup.
Are there videos of event?
I think the Rolls in the move was powered by a hopped up Chevy motor ??
WOW! Have you done the Gumball?
A cannonballer should buy the Portofino.
7 litres of brake fluid poured onto the road? Hilarious, but I'm glad those beauties mostly sit.
Sir do you have any grey poupon?
What year did Mike Begley win it in a 500 SL Benz?
No fun, having to stop at every gas station...
Hey Ed, great story!!! 👍👍🦃
@EdBolian brother the car Gods have blessed you with a car guy’s dream life, and we are able to cherish your memories as if it was our own!!
May the car God’s keep blessing you with these dreams come true celebrated life!
I don’t think this Rolls could go 4500mi without issue when it was new 😂
has anyone done it in a countach? that seems like one of the more iconic but challenging cars to do a run in.
Tell us you've not seen the movie without telling us that you have not seen the movie.
Do you also not know who Adrienne Barbeau is?
@@joshuagibson2520 no, i havent actually seen the movie but i still know enough to know about the black countach, so idk what youre getting at?
Cars are cool
Cars are pain.
Those are not 1976 bumpers
Great vid Ed!!!
Day two of asking for a story about 1970 12 hours of Sebring
Is that the RR that ended up with John Ross #WatchJRGo?
