No accounting for taste ..or rather lack of. This has just come up auction on Barrett Jackson Bodie Stroud, owner of the portable toilet company Portosan Company, assisted on the transformation of this sleek sewage sucker. "Portosan is one of the largest toilet and temporary-fencing companies in the nation. We provide services for construction, special events and studios." Stroud being number one in the business that's all about number two, was the guru of the vacuum pump on this build. In fact, the rest of the team turned to him so much, he hardly found time to work on anything else. Along with the vacuum concerns was the difficulty of working around the rolls original wiring and hydraulic system. The team finished on time and had one monstrous Rolls Royce that made other models look like, well? you know..

As Gerald Acquilano, a member of the US club who's also spent years in the auto sales business, is fond of declaring, "There's an ass for every seat!" This car sold, and there's a perverse truth to Mr. Acquilano's dictum in this case. Were it not for the gold plating I could honestly say, "I've seen much worse," but I can now only say, "I've seen worse." Brian |

Insulted at first, then my sense of humor kicked in. After all, while there are nice examples, a lot of old Rollers are pretty shitty cars. This particular one, at least based on the underhood photo, qualifies in my view as a shitty example. This before considering the boot mounted poo-accoutrements ;>) |
