Long story short : back in the early 1950's a relative was in Saudi Arabia with his RR and the back axle broke, so he got in touch with them and they flew a new one out and fixed his RR but he did not get a bill there and thought he'd get one when he got back to the UK, they denied it ever happened by just telling him "RR back axles don't break" and that was that.
This guy is actually a crucial part of the design process. If the owner of a new RR wants a special design he will do it as well. He may also be the last person of his kind. After he dies Rolls Royce may just opt to use machines. End of an era.
I don't think they'll ever use machines for this. They charge a lot of money for someone to do it. It allows them to be exclusive and to charge the amount of money that they do, they need to separate themselves from the rest
@@David_Larkin They charge a lot of money because they can. They will use machines if it's more profitable. Thing is machines like that have to be designed and built. It's gonna be just 1 so that will make it very expensive.
15:15 Brad, you can still buy them the company is called Thorum. I have meteorite banded wedding rings for me and my fiancée from them. They're brilliant quality.
Fun fact. Aston Martin had a customer who bought a DBS Superleggera and a Valkyrie. He had them both painted with a paint that had a piece of moon rock ground down and mixed with it
My uncle had a couple of rolls in the 80s and 90s before they could be truly customized, and his favorite story of them that one day he was driving along, and the car broke down so he rang rolls and said its broken down, this was before mobiles so he had to walk to a phone box they said, sorry we will be there in 2h 2h later a flatbed with a rolls of the exact same spec and color on the back turned up, and the guy gave him the keys and took the old one couple of days later my uncle rang rolls to find out when he was going to get his back, and the guy on the other end of the phone said "I'm sorry sir, I'm not sure what you mean, the car you have is yours "Rolls Royce don't break down""
i know its kinda off topic but when you mentioned dream cars. mine since childhood is a Mercedes 560 SEC AMG from the 80's it looks like a car a villain from a 80's action flick would drive. also the sound in the video was great so whoever in fact fiend that edited the video/audio did a great job
"Well, we can't quote a base price because it's super customizable and raises the price" Yea, that's why the BASE PRICE tells me what I'm starting at, so I can more optimally customize without spending my family's fortune.
You’d basically just need to select the least expensive option for each step of the decision tree - including omitting anything where possible. If they wanted to provide a base number, they could. They just know it would not be representative of what people imagine a luxury car to be. I understand, but it’s still kind of silly…
My current daily driver is pretty close to perfect for me. It's a 2015 Toyota Rav4. Good gas mileage, good in snow, nice looking without being flashy, lots of cargo space, and I can comfortably go camping with it and sleep in the back. Also, if I put my foot down, it goes zoom in a satisfactory way
Bespoke suits aren't that expensive compared to off the peg I had a 5 piece suit made to measure 2 trousers 1 waistcoat and 2 jackets 1 single and 1 double-breasted and the whole thing tailored from scratch I picked the materials all in cost £476
Corvette C8. It not only looks like a sick ass mid life crisis, but it talks to a central database that all Corvette C8's connect to to tell all C8's when you come up to a Speed ump that's been logged in the database, and the suspension actually raises the car to accommodate for the speedbumb so you can drive over it, and then lowers the suspension back down after you pass it, without any input from the driver, and all C8 owners can send manual coordinates for a speedbumb that's not already in the database.
Fun Fact: That Black Lotus is closer to 100K... which is such a hilarious idea... buy our mistake, so you can in theory use it to cheese on your friends in a card game about dueling wizards... which in turn I assume makes you feel like a real wizard finding/creating/buying a legendary artifact... just to cheese on your friends

Honestly my ideal car is some ridiculously stupid looking potato with astoundingly good fuel economy or mileage on electricity or whatever. Like a Fiat 500 or something. Give me a shitbox that does a really good job of moving in a line at the speed of 120kph, at the very most, and around 40kph generally
shitboxes are the way to go. Get a scratch? Doesnt matter. Need repairs? Parts are cheap. Good shitboxes are easy to repair also cause they have less complicated stuff in them. I'll always respect some smalll 10, 15, 20 yr old car much more than any new SUV
awd in the snow with manual transmission is so much fun that i kind of own my dream car, a 2018 Subaru WRX (it doesn't rumble, but at least my neighbors don't hate me). that or the black Ford GT LM from Gran Turismo.
A friend of mine, he had a weird ability to dress up really well and look amazing, he went into a rolex store and said he was buying a watch for his father and asked for nothing under $10,000 and was shown watches that were worth like 60 grand and stuff
Had an '02 TJ Sport with a soft top when I was in the military lol. Had so much fun in it in the Arizona deserts and Florida panhandle swamps. Dream car has always been an old school H1 diesel Hummer.
@@furiouskaiser9914 definitely loved the 'ol H1 in my teenage years (who remembers the joecartoon gerbil hummer?) Was so interesting in factory form (inboard brakes? How odd, yet logical!) But I do love the lotus ideology, simplify, then add lightness. A lithe car is a fun car
I think the jeep part is an age thing. The jeeps were starting to end up with kids in the 80s because they were pretty cheap. And if you couldn't get a jeep, an old blazer made the top removable, put in roll bars, and off we go. And by cheap, I grew up in a very nice suburb just outside of Bolder Colorado. My view of cheap has expanded some, but the dreams are alive.
If I was to get a butt-ass ugly Royce I would make it wine red on the outside and hot pink fuzz on the inside like that Austin Powers car, but then also have the radio antenna coming out the back like a green bent cylinder so the car looked like a cherry

You need a special machine for that. It might be more expensive to design and make the machine than to pay the guy.

I just NEED to say this about the audio. It sounded fine. Whoever did the audio balancing did a fine job. Great work.
0:53 no one would steal the bat mobile itself but a street urchin may attempt to steal the wheels then get beaten with a crowbar years later
You dont steal the whole batmobile, just the tires and rims...
Okay, Jason.

I thought the 40 to 60 watercolor brushes were expensive! But if the car is that expensive, it makes sense not to cheap out 😅
My favourite fact about Rolls Royce is that it was the original transportation of the X-men.
If you want a bespoke suit go to Hoi An, Vietnam and pick any number of tailors they will make a full suit for about £100 to your exact measurements.
I heard a story of a guy who had powdered diamonds made into the paint for his Rolls Royce.
Diamonds are surprisingly cheap, believe it or not.
I would love a Mini Cooper or Lincoln Continental customized to look like the old school London Black Cab.
This is probably the best free RR marketing
My uncle had a couple of rolls in the 80s and 90s before they could be truly customized, and his favorite story of them that
one day he was driving along, and the car broke down
so he rang rolls and said its broken down, this was before mobiles so he had to walk to a phone box
they said, sorry we will be there in 2h
2h later a flatbed with a rolls of the exact same spec and color on the back turned up, and the guy gave him the keys and took the old one
couple of days later my uncle rang rolls to find out when he was going to get his back, and the guy on the other end of the phone said
"I'm sorry sir, I'm not sure what you mean, the car you have is yours "Rolls Royce don't break down""
Got a suit made up for a wedding I went too, and it just feels really good.
Bought fully tailored, ooooh baby
Damn, that dude has to be a baller with his Job constantly on the line^^
Pretty sure the wool you are referring to is meant to be Merino. I've heard of meraschino cherries - was that a mix-up?
You can even buy the color outright and no one else will have that color ever.epic
Oh my goodnes thats a really nice set
The honda S2000 is a great car to have as a realistic dream car.
