Remember the days when the tabacco companies spent “Loadsamoney” on centre spreads, back pages and two boat teams. Circuit and offshore. . Unlimited cash .

During this pandemonium lock up your grannies time, ive been beavering away for the last four months on the legendary ( by that, I mean the one that never was) “GOLD GHOST” . Reputedly built for the infamous MAHARAJAH OF THE BRONX, JOEY PASTRAMI ONRYE.
This will be the very last in the series of thirteen Rolls Royce Silver Ghost’s, and will be the only “Gold Ghost” ever manufactured! Virtually everything is made of polished brass, other than the tyres , upholstery and glass screen.
another month and I’ll post a piccie. Comes with a hefty price tag, but as the old ROLLS-ROYCE adage goes, if you have to ask the price, you can’t afford it.

Well then, Happy (not your) Birthday - Mr. Wilson.........

If it were your birthday, then 43 years ago today (22 August 1977).......I entered the US Navy (my dad wouldn't get me a job with Mercury) and ultimately stayed for 26 years with 5 Submarines and two Shore Duties.

David has all his FONDA, and his previous boat racing memoirs as a promoter of boat racing. Plus all his stuff as Mercury’s European Advertising representative. You can be sure he has made allowances for its future well being.
