My brother works at RR doing the leather work, (he used to be a taxidermist at the Natural History Museum in London)... He says the RR factory is soooo clean you could eat your dinner off the floor.

Being a cat, I always eat my dinner of the floor, so I'm not sure what his point is.

I'm confusing myself now, so I shall have a nap.

If I was selling cars at a half-million dollars, I think I would be able to hire someone to keep my garage floor clean enough to eat from........ on second thought, maybe I'll just use the dishes.

It's interesting to see that RR marketing is doing what it can for global carbon dioxide emissions - by increasing desirability.....
