Last Call: Slinging mud with the peasants

Comments

A Rolls-Royce Cullinan is as opulent an SUV you’re likely to find. Sure, you can spend more on something bananas like a fully kitted out EarthRoamer, but we’re sticking to standard production vehicles here. And photographer David Levenson spotted one parked on the street in London that’s living a good life. Not stopped at expensive shops, but being used to actually go off-road, sling through the mud, and put its engineering to good use.

Or maybe it was used to ram a bloated cow and all of this is literal shit? Either way, we’re inteigued.

      See, it’s funny because the hood ornament …er, bonnet ornament…no? radiator mascot (really?) for Rolls-Royce is a sculpture called Spirit of Ecstasy. (Are we sure it’s not the ‘mascot of ecstasy’? I’ve already killed the joke, might as well be thorough.)

    Perhaps the owner was out in the country and got too obnoxious while trying to pass a farmer with a manure spreader.

      Definitely has a very high grass content, whether it has been pre-digested I’ll leave for the experts to judge.

    With all that mudslinging, probably owned by a member of Parliament. Or maybe Funkadelic.

      Although they should flip that Funkadelic record and play “Promentalsh!tbackwashpsychosisenemasquad (The Doo Doo Chasers)” as that more resembles the…ummm…funk spewed across the front and sides of the Rolls. Although said doo doo probably was emitted by something of the land grazing variety, if that were the case.

      All it needs now is “WASH ME” written on the side rear window…

    How are the wheels so clean? It looks like they were following someone slinging mud, rather than slinging it themselves.

    I dunno, this sort of thing looks like lame posturing to me. I drove a beat-up SJ Cherokee for a while, and I wouldn’t even bring it home looking like that, even though it looked the part.

      I’d wager, puddles and more moving parts to keep more material from sticking…

        It’s a showy display to attract attention, and proof positive that rednecks are upwardly mobile. I’m all for getting your 4WD respectably muddy, but wearing it like a badge of honor is lame.

    Saw my first new Defender yesterday, complete with the stupid little storage box on the side. Only passed it parked on the side of the road so I don’t have much of an impression on the look though.

      A Landrover “parked” on the side of the road…no tiny orange triangle right behind it?

      Yeah yeah I can close the door myself

        Outside a dealership actually, or close enough to it.

        Edit: maybe it only made it as far as the curb before breaking down?

    One of my favorite runs at Goodwood in 2019 was when the Cullinan was properly thrashed up the hill. https://youtu.be/WUhHxq81iQE
