Millionaire like federer, nadal, djokovic and sampras care more about not being noticed and laying low than driving a fancy car. What was it that Michael Jordan wanted above all? To be able to take his kids to Disney World.

See plenty of Rolls when I travel to the UK. See mostly Bentleys then Rolls around the NYC area. But the really wealthy folks in NYC really don't care too much about what they drive. Limo/car service picks them up and drives them off... They do have cars for their weekend/country homes but they generally lay low and drive vehicles that don't get them noticed (there are Billionaires who drive Subarus who care more about their string of polo horses than cars... you would be surprised how many of these types are are in/around NYC). LA/West Coast is a different story altogether though.

Definitely not enough.
Bright red/yellow Italian cars are for kids and hot-blooded idiots who will crash them two weeks later. It's not what they were made for, but it's what they're used for.

Real class is something else entirely. These are the people who made the engines which won WWII.
The planes worthy of the finest men Great Britain had to offer - to whom we all owe an unpayable debt. The cars an afterthought by comparison - but still the best money can buy.

If Mercedes wasn't already classy enough, then Fedr, as the gold standard of class, should consider switching.

Except now they use engines designed by the people who LOST WWII. Real class has nothing to do with automobiles.

Nothing says not being noticed like Federer flying a 60 million dollar Bombadier-BD6000 to the Met Gala and Nadal driving his white Ferrari around town

RAFA wears a more expensive watch for his pro matches...

Rafa is not the owner of the Richard Mille watches he is wearing. He is getting paid to wear (= to test) them.

New York Times, March 23, 2017: ¤¤ His [Richard Mille] distinctive watches are worn by world-class athletes like the tennis champion Rafael Nadal... Over the years, Mr. Mille has produced six different timepieces for Mr. Nadal, continuously tweaking the design and experimenting with materials and techniques.
"Rafa has broken five or six watches, actually exploded them while playing," Mr. Mille said. "But that is how we test our products. It is normal product development." ¤¤

I don't think a Rolls Royce would be the first car that comes to my mind if I had infinite money to buy cars. LOL
Would be embarrassing to drive one.

Rolls Royce used to represent luxury - it was at the pinnacle of the automobile industry. My grandfather used to own a Phantom - the newer models look a lot nicer now and are better equipped of course. Anyone in the Top 50 could afford at least one to be honest.
There are a lot of good cars out there on the market - most would be more likely to opt for sleeker sports cars.

Competitors like Bentley and Aston Martin will probably do well.

Are you from Indian heritage living in UK?
My gf parents from India and they did very well in UK. They bought a Rolls Royce. My gf was so embarrassed by it. But its fun to hang out with her parents, they are still into 70 and 80s luxury. Their house more or less designed that way too.

Yeah, I have mixed English, Portuguese and Indian heritage (not sure about exact break-up but something like 65/15/20 split) - some of the antiques we have has been passed down through the generations, mostly all gone though :D

War isn't glamorous. Objectively speaking it's the most horrid thing we do.

Class isn't just being glamorous. Class is who you are. It's what you do every day. It's what you do when no-one is watching, and it's what you do when the world is watching.
It's what you do when life is good, and it's what you do when all the chips are down and you're fighting for the life of yourself and everyone you will ever know.

--

This wasn't the Middle East where the state swoops in and bombs unarmed kids for next to no reason.
This was our greatest test - the fight for our very survival.

Fighting and winning a total war that you didn't start to protect the lives of everyone in your country and your entire way of life is more than classy. It is having the will and the strength to never surrender.

Risking your life, all on your own, in a rickety metal box flying kilometres above the ocean, only by the light of the occasional flare, for the lives of everyone you hold dear, all of whom you will likely never see again, is more than classy. It is beyond reproach.

The people who designed and built the Merlin engines for the RAF were masters of their craft, doing what they could and what they needed to when their country needed them most.
They were only doing what they knew - but for that you, and I, and everyone in the Western world owe them a debt that we could never hope to pay.

And the men who flew the aircraft they powered were heroes, greater than any in a comic book. Ordinary men in a sense, doing their duty, but men who will never be forgotten, for in the course of that duty they also happened to save us all.

Risking your life to make international bankers and the elite even richer. That’s what wars are really about. I feel for the young men who went to fight in wars thinking they were doing it for their countries.

I know, it's tempting to fall for conspiracies, but then you remember Occam's razor and realise that Great Britain was simply fighting a madman who wanted to control the world and re-create it in his image.

Plenty of things happened on the sidelines. But that was the overarching story.

which reek of undisguised racism, especially in the light of the events of recent days.
Lmao what

I mean the US bombing civilians in the ME.
You disagree that that's a bad thing?

In case you're uncertain, I'm against that :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Conspiracies ?? War means money and power.

what is your profession if you dont mind me asking, seems like you travel a lot

Engineer... Although these days most of my travel is leisure. Early on in my career, I had ~25% travel (gone ~1 week per month). Business travel is VERY different than leisure travel. One gets to see bits and pieces of the world when not in airports, hotels, and board rooms.

Sure. But that's what it was "really about"?
Not preventing Hitler from ruling the world and realising his Final Solution? Really?

If that's what you think then I've got some gold bars and a UFO detector to sell you.

You must also believe that the US President is the most powerful man in the world. That the World Bank and IMF were set up to help third world countries.
