It would be pretty hard to beat this guy, mostly because they just don't build 'em like they used to.

Love the color. That has to be one of the best looking Rolls I've seen. :)

I've had my 2001 Z28 Camaro since July 2001.

[color=#000000]I did own a BMW 318i for 21 years, does it count? ;D

Registered in 1984, I bought it second hand in 1989 and kept it up to the day the engine gave out and had to scrap everything, in April 2010, because the prices asked to recondition the engine was just too damn steep... even if in those two decades I could have counted on one sole hand the times that poor car gave me serious problems (and would have left some fingers free too), 1 grand ONLY to dismount the engine off its brackets, then from there onward it was a free-for-all of prices going up and away was just too much if you think that a FIAT's engine reconditioning, inclusive of engine dismounting and then remounting, would cost less than 400

It's slightly worrying how long a car that is well looked after can last in comparison to an every-day car. A show of the times I suppose.

I don't own a car myself, but the car I drive is an '03 Seat Leon 1.6 S, and although it's only been in the family for about 4 or 5 years, it's probably no where near as healthy as that Rolls. They just don't make them like that anymore...

Intentionally misunderstood..  ;) The longest car I ever owned was a Lincoln Continental with the suicide doors from the 60's  ::)

It can't be the original paint (can it?), but it sure looks like a shade from that era... never seen anything quite like it.

I've had my 2001 Z28 Camaro since July 2001.
