Yesterday, @lionelb was commenting on how the long rear deck of the original Mazda Cosmo gave it rather pick-up-like proportions. Here’s a real pick-up, albeit rather an exotic one, a Chevy El Camino style conversion of a 1980s Rolls Royce Silver Spirit. Snapped at the recent Practical Classics resto show.

On the road again, which sadly meant leaving behind the Rolls-Royce Spectre I've been testing for the past few days. I don't want to spoil the upcoming review, which you'll find on The Verge in time, but suffice to say this is perhaps the greatest EV on the market. It's easily among the greatest EVs of all time.
The only problem? It costs more than my house is worth. #ev #rollsroyce

#RollsRoyce is to give every employee shares worth about £700 in the company following a revival.
In a move first reported by the #FinancialTimes, the engineering giant announced in an internal memo that it would gift 150 shares to its 42,000 #workers worldwide.
The news comes after #Derby-based company, which makes jet engines, announced profits of £1.1bn in the first six months of the year - up from £673m last year.
Rolls-Royce to jointly develop hydrogen engine for CHP systems
Take that, Highland Park: A Honda girl cruises the old stomping grounds in a Rolls-Royce
I test-drove the ultimate luxury vehicle around the high-class neighborhood where I never really belonged. Let’s hope I don’t crash.

Rolls-Royce starts new set of ground-breaking hydrogen research tests
It might make sense in the short-term but #RollsRoyce's decision to sell of their #electric air engines division to focus on enhancing the profitability of their jet engine business is nuts!
If we had an industrial policy focussed on the #greetranstion, we might hope they would have been encouraged to do exactly the opposite.
If flying is to continue in a #climatecrisis, then e-air engines must be how it will be power (surely?).
More British short-termism in the face of long-term challenges
Interestingly, given discussion yesterday of the problems with #management in the UK (see posts on the 'accidental managers' & my piece for @NWBylines - reposted yesterday)...
#RollsRoyce's new CEO is making major cuts in its non-#engineering #workforce ('white-collar jobs), which would seem to imply there is a recognition that it is a bloated management structure that has been causing the firm problems.
With cuts of around 6% of staff there's going to be a few bullies looking for new victims
I was waiting for someone to come out of a shop, so I did some street photography while I was in London. I found a chauffeur standing in front of his Rolls Royce car, waiting, too. I wonder who owns the car?

I always said I could see myself in a Rolls-Royce one day.

The new #RollsRoyce La Rose Noire costs $31.8 million! Even if you're ultra #wealthy, that's an enormous sum of #money to pay for a #car. Like mind-bogglingly #expensive. You could win the lottery, and spend the entire jackpot on this car.
Rolls-Royce Considering Switching From BEV To Hydrogen For Future Models
The British luxury carmaker sees hydrogen fuel cells as a possible replacement for battery electric powetrains, but spotty hydrogen distribution is an issue.
