Rolls makes test run

The prototype of the Rolls-Royce Wraith made its first test run on this day. The first model of the postwar period was called the Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith, and it became the principal luxury sedan sold by Rolls-Royce in the decades following World War II.

Afternoon gents, just popping in for a quick post, since everything has decided to break at once today. I was in the Navy, in Airframe/hydraulics school just outside of Memphis, TN. That was quite a shock, a very sad day. Okay, back to work. I'll jump on again in a little while!
