Rolls-Royces and Benzes

Post by Viewfield »

Staying in and obeying the rules had a look at my Rolls-Royces. Not as many variations as Ghosthunter but all different.

And my Benzes (spelling)

Here you can see the difference in height of the headlights and the hollow an filled-in grab handles.

Before another member does...there is no such thing as rolls-royces :o It is rolls-royce motor cars, examples of a rolls-royce or here is my rolls-royce with others. There you go, you now know the right way to present having more than one rolls-royce to show... :lol:

I am not so sure about Benzes but probably the same applies as highlighted above.

1, Benzes.
2, Some Benz cars.
3, Here is a Benz car with others.

Ah well, this has got me posting again... :lol:

Being born and bred in Lancashire, I can definitely confirm that we always said “if you got two Rolls-Royces, you’ve made it “.
So there Kevin :lol: :lol:

Being uneducated, I've always called them "Rollers" :)

I've always called them Rolls-Royces, and sometimes Rolls when referring to a singular example. Perhaps that is an American thing?
