Black and Blue

Remember just last month when I said that Red was the new Black?

Well according to this Auto Express article, Rolls Royce say that black can be improved by blue.

Bruising.

But they must be right because their limited edition of 62 Rolls-Royce Black Badge Cullinan Blue Shadows have sold out.

Now if you think that name is a juxtaposition, take a read of this AutoGuide story.

Here are two words that should never appear together:

The original iQ wasn't brilliant either. I suspect it wouldn't be difficult to tell it apart from the Caddy version though.

Another Rolls-Royce I Can't Afford.

"Asking Boris Johnson to sack Dominic Cummings is like asking Emu to sack Rod Hull."

 

That is one of my favourite quotes to come out of the recent debacle.

 

Here is emu trying to get in to a toy car:

OK, I put the eye on there - here is the real picture:

Still looks weird doesn't it? Until you realise that is a model car.  Car+Driver have this story.  It's a very realistic model car because it is made by Rolls-Royce using Rolls-Royce materials.  It is a 1:18 scale Cullinan.

 

If the price was 1:18 scale, it would cost £15000.

 

Double it to get the actual price.

 

To quote C+D,

 

"That's around the price of the average new car in the U.S., but if you're worried about being average, Rolls-Royce is probably not your thing anyway."

New All-Electric BMW

It must be a slow-news day.

Autoguide have gone with "BMW has Created its Own Segway" - a story about an electric tray with bicycle handlebars that BMW employees can use to get about the factory.  You can only tell it is a BMW by the badge on this embarrassed employee's overalls.

He must be going somewhere important with that huge wrench in his shopping basket.

 

It looks like it is hovering but, as the story tells us, it is driven by a front single wheel and has casters at the corners to stop it tipping over if you take a corner too fast.

 

So basically, it's a mobility scooter that you have to stand up on.

 

Autoguide are also covering a non-story from Rolls-Royce today but I'll link to Autocar on this one because they have the more bland headline - "Rolls-Royce Cullinan: new official picture shows tail-light detail"

 

Here it is: 

It reminds me of a sad dog.
