Some Reputation this...

All arguments end. Rolls Royce is the ultimate status symbol and that too if it is a designer model.

That is what made a Sheikh of Arabia order the most exquisite Rolls.

It had everything from a swimming pool to a missile launcher made in pure gold.

When the car was ready, the Sheikh with his driver flew down to London to take the keys.

He was thrilled to see the creation and decided to go back to his country in his new luxury.

The journey began from London through Europe, North Africa and after covering over 2500 km, it came to a sputtering halt bang in the middle of the Sahara desert.

The driver hurried to see what was wrong.

As he lifted the bonnet, a shock of his life awaited him. THE ENGINE WAS MISSING.

"You mean the car travelled 2500 km without an engine..." thundered the Sheikh "...how was it running...?"

"I think..", the driver replied, "...it was running on its reputation!"
