asumo12:I was looking forward to someone saying this...The honda accord popularly called "Discussion continues " is one of the most beaitiful cars till date to me, the one with the LED lights in an all red triangular tail light...it is definitely finer than the model that came after it, both in exterior and interior... If not for that model's penchant for ball joint issue...i still look at that model year like it jist came out, very good looking car. |

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. |
It is negotiable, also it has pre paid metre so no estimated billing wahala |
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" 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 ![]() 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 ! |

dumo1: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. |
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 ![]()

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. Source: www.makizee..com |
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

Munzy14:Forget, was this not the same country where a police commissioner was assassinated |
Xionez:Rolls Royce does not have a Model Called a Phantom Ghost, it's either a Phantom or a Ghost...it's like saying Toyota has a Model called Camry Corolla. And that's the 2018 Phantom by the way. |
countryfive:Senseless and idiotic statement from a puerile mind, folks have been killed while worshipping in church, church has collapsed on folks while worshipping, were they also forming big girls and boys and watching big brother...Death is part of life and it comes when it will whether you're the most saintly or not... Don't be a fool, respect the dead and keep it moving. If only "Followers of Jesus Christ" had immunity from dying. |
Surely, these bodies could be treated with more dignity than this...and to think nairaland that censors f u c k , p u s s y and the likes doesn't censor human dead bodies. |
[quote author=NwaNimo1 post=66037205]Looks like an 'assembly line' to me......... what's actually being manufactured in the pics? Components being put together = assembly. Components being made from raw materials = manufacture. Credit to the man though....., him de try but he doesn't actually manufacture cars - he assembles them
