.......and before anyone suggests it, that is not me on a road test, or my new car!!  I can't speak for Don but I am pretty sure it's not him either.

All part of Breast Cancer's drive to raise £1m.  Chris Evans and other celebs drove it from LE to JOG I think. 

I saw a Roller on the M25 with "RR1" once.  I assume it belongs to the factory and was for press launches etc.

Same colour as Katie Prices Range Rover (Yuk Pink), best number plate Iv'e seen on a Roller was coming out of Ascot "GG W1N".
I hope it's a vinyl wrap or there will be a cheap RR for sale in a couple of years?

Who?  Me?

Nah.......I'm in touch with my feminine side......my wife :P

(And you would not believe my relief when we discovered we were having a boy.  The impact of a girl on the house and decor etc is even now too much to even think about!  Nurse! :doctor:
