Sandie ◊ 2012-02-06 22:09	So definitely not a Rolls Royce as your earlier (deleted) comment said?
G-MANN ◊ 2012-02-06 22:13	I mistook the vertical rectangular badge in the centre of the boot for an RR badge, then I realised Bentleys didn't get the winged B badge until later. -- Last edit: 2012-02-06 22:13:16
