It's the Phantom 7 Series one which production was between 2003 and 2011, so definitely not a 2014 model which is Series 2 but that's besides the point...i wonder if any member of that Church also has a Phantom...or blessing of this kind is only reserved for the Pastor....Fools will always part with their money.

CultureThe Mysticism Of Epe And Military Take Off by makizee(op): 8:47pm On May 30, 2018
I am not sure if this is the right section for this but since news came in of the Nigerian opening up a base in Epe, i have been digging the internet to find out more on the famed story of how they fled from Epe sometime in the 80's or early 90's when the Indigenes showed them " The gods are mightier than the guns"
shocked shocked

The Lagos State University Epe campus sits on a former Military Cantonment, with scenic views of the Lekki Lagoon. The story goes thus : Military men were in the habit of opressing the indigenes , doing and undo because they were armed against a mostly farmer/fishermen community...They were also stories of females being sexually assaulted by the soldier boys and after series of complaints to the military authority, their menace just seemed to increase...That was when the indigenes and their Oba took matters into their own hands.

Africa Magic things cool


It was said that the Indigenes told the Military to vacate Epe and never come back and as expected, they called their bluff bit soon after ..Military men in the base started to die mysteriously like flies in a smoke filled room, No one had to convince them to do the needful.


Any student of LASU Epe campus must have heard this story, it is one Epe folks say with some pride. If you have heard this story too, pls share...I couldn't find anything on it on the internet.


I just hope they behave this time that Buratai and Ambode opened another base (in a more remote area though)

I miss that town die !

They tried at least but too many similar features of the Maybach with the S600 flagship back then.
Exactly, they could have invested a lot more and get a new team to design a radically different car from the Flagship S Class, it didn't help that the Maybach was even been made in the same factort as the S Class, That exclusivity niche was eroded by so doing.
Car TalkRe: Rolls Royce & Bentley : Shared History, Separated At Rebirth. by makizee(op):
When BMW took over production of Rolls Royce cars was when the most radical departure from the partnership of RR and Bentley really came to fore, they moved to a new production facility in Goodwood. The first car to come out from this facility was the Phantom 7, followed by the drophead, and coupe versions. In terms of Pricing..The RR equivalent of the Bentleys are generally a tard more expensive mostly because of options and more expensive premium materials used in the RR. For example the Phantom vs The Mulsanne,The Ghost vs The Flying Spur, The Wraith vs The Continental Gt..




Which would you rather have ?
As for me, one model from both Manufacturers will do Thank you cool

After Bentley was acquired by Rolls Royce, The company formed produced both Rolls Royce and Bentley cars under the same roof at Crewe England, a tradition that continued even when the company went burst in the 1970's got acquired by Vickers who the sold the company to AG Volkswagen. This is why the Rolls Royces of the 1970 through to the late 1990's basically were the same to the Bentleys of that period, just different radiator grill badges..Then in 1998 a messy divorce happened between these two iconic British brands with BMW acquiring the rights to the Rolls Royce logo and the Spirit of ecstacy. After a lengthy boardroom squabbles involving Vickers, Rolls Royce Plc (Parent Company of the Cars division) BMW and AG Volkswagen. The two company finally got seperated which curiously makes today's Bentley cars the direct successor to the Rolls Royce of old and not the phantoms as the new Rolls Royce (BMW) company first product is the new Phantom. Although the Rolls-Royce brand has been in use since 1906, the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars subsidiary of BMW AG has no direct relationship to Rolls-Royce branded vehicles produced prior to 2003 Thus the Bentley Motors Limited subsidiary of Volkswagen AG is the direct successor to Rolls-Royce Motors and various other predecessor entities that produced Rolls-Royce and Bentley branded cars between the foundation of each company and 2003, when the BMW-controlled entity started producing cars under the Rolls-Royce brand.

Rolls-Royce Acquires Bentley

Bentley was severely hit by the Great Depression and in 1931, Barnato notified the lenders he is no longer able to meet the debts he had guaranteed for. The court appointed a Receiver to Bentley and in November 1931, the company was bought by the British Central Equitable Trust which was in reality Rolls-Royce. From the acquisition of Bentley by Rolls-Royce, the future development of both car producers became intertwined with Bentley being dependant on the Rolls-Royce’s owner. This, however, has been shown to have no effect on the brand. Just like Rolls-Royce remains associated with pure luxury, Bentley remains associated with top sports cars and high performance for increased driving experience.
While the Bentley is known for it's racing heritage even with its tonnes of luxury features, the RR is geared more towards a luxury touring experience, so we could conveniently say the Bentley is the car you wanna drive, the Rolls Royce is the one you want to be driven in.

About Rolls-Royce



Rolls-Royce was created by Sir Henry Royce and Charles Rolls in 1904. Just like Bentleys, Rolls-Royces immediately attracted attention among car enthusiasts. But in contrary to Bentley, Rolls-Royce focused on pure luxury especially after the introduction of the iconic Silver Ghost with its own personal licence plate and aluminium trims. And while Bentley was struggling with financial problems, Rolls-Royce successfully withstood the Stock Market Crash of 1929 although it had to close its factory in the United States. However, Rolls-Royce prematurely lost one of its founders as Charles Rolls was killed in a plain crash in 1910, aged only 32.

Bentley and Rolls-Royce are probably best known Britain’s luxury car producers. They are strikingly different yet strikingly similar at the same time which is a result of their history which became permanently intertwined in the early 1930s when Bentley was acquired by Rolls-Royce. Another thing both luxury cars have in common is the fact that both were created by motoring pioneers who were driven by the passion for cars and engineering.

About Bentley

Bentley was founded in 1919 by W. O. Bentley and his brother H. M. Bentley. Their first sports vehicle (a chassis, to be more precise) – the Bentley 3 Litre was shown at the London Motor Show in the same year, while the first cars were delivered in 1921. It was considerably larger from other sports cars at the time but with its innovative technology, the Bentley 3 Litre soon ended the domination of tiny sports cars in racing and attracted a lot of attention among the wealthy British car enthusiasts who formed the so-called Bentley Boys. And it was one from the Bentley Boys – Woolf Barnato who helped the company during financial hardship although W.O. was forced to give up his ownership of the company and become an employee instead. Under Barnato, Bentley produced five more models including the famous Speed Six which is the most successful racing Bentley of all times. After victory of Speed Six at Le Mans of 1930, Bentley would need 73 years to win another

Car TalkRe: The New G Wagon Is Fully Redesigned by makizee(op): 5:43pm On Jan 21, 2018
Although Mercedes hasn’t detailing pricing for the G550, the SUV comes exceptionally well-equipped for what’s likely to not dip below the outgoing model’s $125,000 (N45625000) price of entry, minus cost of Importation and Custom duty. Standard equipment includes leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats with memory, a Burmester-branded audio system, automatic emergency braking, active lane control, and keyless ignition. A 12.3-inch touchscreen for infotainment is standard, while a secondary display of the same size is on the options list to take the place of a conventional gauge cluster. Individual options are limited but include adaptive dampers, massaging front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a rear-seat entertainment system.

Car TalkRe: The New G Wagon Is Fully Redesigned by makizee(op): 5:29pm On Jan 21, 2018
The external changes are quite easy to miss. Mercedes didn't want to change an Iconic look, sort of the way Land Rover has kept the unmistakable Range Rover shape and profile, so the exterior changes were quite subtle but it is on the inside and underpinning that had the most change (Thankfully, Not the APC's Kind ) has occurred. The Second generation W464 G Class was launched on January 14, 2018 on the NAIAS Auto Show in Detroit.

In contrast to its predecessor, the new G-Class has grown in width by 121 millimeters, and 53 millimeters in length, and now has 6 millimeters more ground clearance.[85] As compared to its predecessor with the same engine, the weight savings are around 170 kilograms.[86] Despite all this, the vehicle visually differs from the W463 very little.

Due to the age of the basic concept of the previous model, the technical changes are significant. Among other things, the front axle now has independent suspension instead of a rigid axle; the rear axle remains solid. The low range gear ratio was shortened from 2.1: 1 to 2.9: 1. The new model now has the familiar digital cockpit from the S-class. At launch only the G550 will be offered

My main man Autojosh made a thread earlier detailing the new Iconic car from German auto Giant, Mercedes Benz..The G Class (G-Wagen/Wagon short for Geländewagen, "cross country vehicle") and some of y'all were already saying they would get the older one like the early 2000's model and just update with grills and stuffs...sorry to bust your bubble but the 2019 Model is fully redesigned from the ground up..Yes it looks very similar to the current model which has remained largely unchained since it launched in 1979..That's a whooping 40 years of Girth, In all these years the car has grown from a military styled Juggernaut to a luxury yet rugged all terrain vehicle with amenities that can rival the most luxurious brand yet keeping that rugged engineering it is known for.
