The editor was wandering around a Rolls Royce dealership in Sydney t’other day, just kind of taking it all in and trying not to look like too much like a homeless person who’d wandered into a royal palace, when he noticed what normal people would call ‘merchandise’.
There were no ‘I ♥ RR’ shirts, or coffee cups with ‘I had the bread for a Rolls’ written on them – which was, frankly, disappointing – but there was a pair of Rolls Royce-branded key fobs in a flash-looking presentation case, and the price tag said $8995.
The editor nearly choked on the pastry swirl he’d nicked from the buffet before he was chased out of the showroom.
We don’t know anything about the key fobs, and none of the immaculately dressed salespeople seemed keen to enter the pastry-flake exclusion zone they’d gazetted around the editor, so there’s not much we can tell you.
If you’re keen for a matched pair of fobs for your Roller you probably don’t give a toss about the price. Send the chauffeur down to the nearest RR dealership and have him pick up a couple. Better yet, phone and have them delivered, and then give us a call and let us know what they do. We’d try and find out, but the editor’s been asked not to return until he’s changed out of his ‘C U in the NT’ shirt.
