Up to speed on SVT and Ford RS200 please. ☺☺☺☺☺
Can you make a Alfa Romeo up to speed
I remember a rolls royce pulled up next to my evo and just said "cool car bro" and he drove away
I mean he wasnt wrong.
Because that was a driver, not an owner. I bet he owns 1.5l Lancer
If I get rich, I’ll park my Rolls next to my Evo in the garage, hands down.
That’s dope

I rolled up on a guy in a mustang who was trying to make everyone see him. He looked over at me in my new Jag and his heart sunk. I kinda felt cool for a few seconds until I looked, and saw a feller in a new phantom next to me, and suddenly I was no longer special. Just like that. Like a balloon popping.

I was riding rolls royce in battlefield 1 and I didn't noticed it😱😱😱😱
Mr.n!ce guy bruh how you notice that
It's amazing that British made cars can still go almost 15000 miles without breaking down. They really have kept their quality
My civic has drove those miles alone without water and still running haha
@@abrahamsanchez7455 dude my ranger has 320,000 on it still running fine with all original parts

@@basshead. lol I mean the engine itself is all original of course every thing around the engine and trans has been replaced and every last price of rubber hose is dry rotted but I tell you what that thing still runs like a champ
Fun fact: Rolls Royce also made jet engine for commercial airliner like the A380, A320, Boeing 767 & of course the 747
not just commercial airliners but also for some planes used in the war(s)
You forgot embrar
They made truck engines too
Another fun fact, Rolls Royce also makes the engine for the H-6 Little Bird helicopter

How the British lost the title of most reliable and fastest vehicles
, I’ll never know.
Fastest land vehicle is still British (Thrust SSC), so far... Built in the same town as Rolls Royce too (Chichester, Sussex)
Labour Party split forming New Party which then renamed to British Union of Fascists and National Socialists party or Communism in shorthand , equity politics. Pretty much exactly what morons are protesting for in the U.S. currently. History can teach us a lot if we try to understand it.
I have the answer. Toyota. I mean like dude to bust a Toyota u gotta be driving that thing for like 300k miles minimum. Unless u drive like a madman then that number might go down to 200k
So as usual communism and Japan are to blame
they simply make better cars, have better technology and ideas...the only thing you did was steal and rob all over the world...
Only one question: how did he manage to go through the whole video without mentioning his boy Post Malone driving a Rolls Royce?
cuz he likes Bentley
@@josiahbvevo which were basically sporty royce historically so not too far fetched
and wrecking it.

I love how the Rolls’s from the seventies still looked like they were from the fifties

Talks about rolls Royce
Has wolkswagen scirocco in backround
Watches video
States the obvious
It's nice to see one really. Wasn't dissapointed
At least a BMW should have been in the background
U commented in a video about Rolls Royce
Were is ur car
Cause Volkswagen owns it

use volkswagen as background car
eh, same thing
I mean im not complaining about that beautiful scirocco.
Neither am i
Vw owns rolls, like duh.
@@peenusweenus3169 I prefer the Mk.II though, so they DID use the wrong car.
4:07 it isn’t submarine it is Supermarine which is the name of the company that made it, Supermarine also made the Spitfire.
Thank you sir, I am glad to see I am not alone in being educated ☕
hear, hear, i might like to add that he engine is also a 6 and 3/4 not a 6.8
@@user-fh2cw9mi5y 6.75 rounds up to 6.8
Speaking of the Spitfire, I'm rather upset they didn't mention the Merlin engine, which powers the Spitfire, which also powers the P-51 Mustang, which is regarded as the best fighter airplane ever made.

YOOOOOOO, I already figured it out..Your dad is Jay Leno!!!!!

Well they do have the hair.
It's funny how this time they couldn't put a royce in the back

*Supermarine S.6B (Supermarine was a British aircraft manufacturer that produced the Spitfire fighter plane, and a range of seaplanes and flying boats. The company had successes in the Schneider Trophy for seaplanes, with three wins in a row of 1927, 1929 and 1931) rather than Submarine...
The plane in the video has a Napier emgine And it's SUPERmarine
The car is so luxurious that it captivated me and I forgot to skim through the comment section as I watched the vid
9:10 is my favorite part of the video
I don't know anything about cars. But I love this channel cause you are very entertaining. Crack me up. And I learn a little something also. Keep up the good work
Greg Johnson Donut singlehandedly taught me so much of what I know about cars (or at least the history and backstory of brands and models). They also helped me understand some of the basic mechanical concepts from their Science Garage show
very informative, incredibly funny
SUPERMARINE not Submarine!
As in Supermarine Spitfire!
Thank god somebody noticed!
Heyy i to know abt the plane!
But they do make stuff for the navy too
I about cringed meself out of me knickers I did govena'. Thank the queen I wasn't the only one
@@_ob200 The Seafire was a clipped wing version of the Spitfire
I can't believe you guy haven't done an up to speed on Bentley yet, their early years make for an amazing story.
"Silver Ghost" was named because of the silence of the engine ;)
Fun fact of the day: every Rolls-Royce produced comes with a lifetime supply of Grey Poupon. It even has wine
What is Gray Poupon
@@Egerit100 It's a brand of mustard lol

@@ScotSteam47 yes Cullinan was a human being and one of the British Generals whom named an area in South Africa after himself during the Gold and diamond rush in South Africa..

@@harmen4436 you must not be a car guy.
@@beastmode3172 you must not be, because if u were youd know about the rule to respect everyones builds
My absolute favourite
Harmen when YOU have the $$$ to buy a Rolls, YOU definitely want that thing.
Would have loved to hear more about Rolls-Royce designing and building engines for military aircraft. The Supermarine Spitfire always used Rolls-Royce engines. They also powered the De Havilland Mosquito, and Hawker Hurricane. Rolls-Royce also designed the engine for the P-51 Mustang. Rolls-Royce helped win the bloodiest conflict the world has ever seen! They continue to make jet engines for modern aircraft.
😂😂😂 “but if you want to drop a deuce in the executive bathroom, you get a rolls”
You forgot that the P-51 mustang airplane has a water cooled roll Royce engine
Early models of the P-51 used an American designed/built Allison engine but the US was pretty far behind UK/Germany in terms of aircraft and engine design so it was switched out for the RR Merlin also used in the Spitfire.
The engine was designed by Rolls Royce as the Merlin, but the engines in Mustangs were license-built by Packard in America.
But the ultimate version (The P51 D) used a Packard motor
also that they made the first turbine engine I think
@Jon Petrangelo And... What about the V-engines...?
The company that built the S6B was caller Supermarine. You know... the guys that built the Spitfire. You can even see a family resemblance between the racer and the fighter.
Cheerio !
I grew up in the town that MC Hammer retired in. There was a gym on the South side of town that, for a while, my dad had signed the family up for. Turns out MC Hammer went to that gym. While I never met him, we did get to see him driving out of the parking lot in his Rolls Royce. That was pretty cool.
My Subaru has a door umbrella.
It fits right in the cup holder.

I drive a Durango and in my town, I'm one of the very few people who own a Durango. The newest model. That alone made me feel very cool because I keep my car clean and shiny. I have it waxed and I even have tire shine on the tires. I was at light and a Rolls pulled up next to me. Man when I tell you I felt a sting, I'm not exaggerating. Rolls Royces have this overwhelming presence about them that I can't quite explain
Recently the wife and I had the pleasure of being driven to the airport in a Ghost. Boy let me tell ya that ride is every bit as smooth and comfortable as they say, and we were going over some very bad roads.
And the interior? Fuggetaboutit. The carpet was thick, the cushions were soft.
We had driven around in a BMW 8 Series just a few days earlier and the Rolls blew that thing out of the water in terms of style, comfort and just general awe. The thing had me giggling like a child, I was so darn giddy.

2:04 at first I was like why is this song sounds so familiar, then after the video ended I realise that was the song that Cars 1 played to make Mack sleep when he was driving in a long trip...LoL
That Sliver Ghost is more realiable than the European cars of today. What da hell
Right!? One of the very first Silver Ghosts created now has over 1,000,000 miles on it and is worth something stupid like $30 million (might be off on that last number, but it's definitely double digit mil's). How could you leave that fact out?
@@ninthcloud6331 Damn 1 million miles, thats insane man. I bet Japanese automakers have a bible on it. Lol
Old machines are so crazy relieable, becuae they are overbuilt and inefficient as fuck. Nowadays things are build to last for a predetermined ammount of time/miles/cycles/whatever. This greatly improved efficiency.

"The water is just like the sky for the underground" this had me dead lmao. James, you dont mind if I use that would you?
I think the closest I've ever been to a Rolls Royce was a Phantom, and god they are damn huge. I was working with my father on a Mk.1 Golf in a workshop out of town (México). And we saw the car being pulled out from getting washed. They had recently replaced one of the door's handles. Just the piece alone cost around 60K Mexican pesos (Around 2.7K US). Boy, I don't know how much time it will pass until I ever forget that car

I just had a surgery today and this video made me feel a lot better thank you for making up to speed.
wow i had that same color and year scirocco hes sitting in front of.. I loved that car
Ehhh I see RR here in Toronto quite often, once a week. Bently here and there, Lamborgini all the time and others.
People walk by, fancy or not, they know "oh rich guy, who cares".
When I drive by in my SVX, driver's necks break as they turn in amazement. People approach it, every day theres a parking lot talk, every mechanic I drive by gives a thubs up. People never race me (exept one civic guy that was racing everyone one night). Motorcycle guys look back and thumbs up me.
Now thats true celebrity status to me.
I hope everyone will one day receive that and enjoy their car as much as me.
