The supreme display of wealth.

What's more mighty than shipping your brand new RR shipped to a country localed in a different continent?

The colour combo is pretty horrid but the owner can most likely have is repainted as easily as he got i sent to London, and then back to the Middle East.

Re: The supreme display of wealth.

Man, that Rolls looks tacky -- who would ever have thought someone so wealthy would be so damn poverty-stricken when it comes to having a sense of style.

Re: The supreme display of wealth.

Another proof that any amount of money cannot buy good taste. I wonder how much money the owner had to pay the workers to apply this horrid colour scheme and ruin such an elegant car. Surely any passionate RR worker will refuse to do this to any of the cars in the factory.

Exactly.

That's the well known problem with nouveau riche: too much money, no taste.

In the past traditional elites were guardians & protagonists of a good taste, today nouveau riche elites barely have any taste. These people are definitely not socialized in a right manner - having no cultural capital, only material one. And such discrepancy between these two capitals is never a good thing.

Well said mate This problem is getting worse and worse and I don't think there will be a way to stop this unless there is a massive global economic recession, but that won't be good for anyone.

Horrendous color scheme

It may look good on a Veyron, but I think the RR employees had tears in their eyes while applying the orange paint
