It's a little wierd pulling up to the drive thru in a Rolls Royce. You get a lot of strange looks.

Based on the pic in your locker, I can't imagine how you'd ever get a "strange" look

I can just see it now "Smithers, there seems to be "secret sauce" on the burl wood. I told you those Ebay-types couldn't be trusted with a Silver Shadow"

Actually the "secret sauce" blends in pretty well with the wood, it's the lingering scent of french fries that gets us everytime

Well I haven't changed the plugs yet but we did find the vacuum leak. The intake manifold bolts were about 2 turns loose, tightened those and now I'm waiting for the gaskets to come in. There is no more whistling and the idle is almost normal.
I'm so excited. I just had to share.
