Oh My GOD
I thought I had a clue to British money... but I see I was confused.
I thought a pence, quid, and shilling were the same.. like.. if it wasnt a pound.. it was one of the other terms.. meaning pennies of some sort.
Pound was similar to our dollar.
I see that I was sorely mistaken.
And wow.. Top Gear (My fav show.. and yes I watch them about 3 hours after they Air in the UK.. and have every episode of the current format with the trio) has some cars on there that were scary expensive.
Like 150K Pounds for a XYZ car... and it used to be easy... Double that to get USD.
Not so easy now.

Ciruit board turned up about half hour ago, so I am now just going to fit it.
Spin,
They make Bentleys just down the road from where I live. When you go around and about, they are driving up and down the country roads, taking them out for setting up and test drives. They don't much look like Bentleys, no shiny bits fitted while they are setting up, and they only have standard steel road wheels on.

Wooooo!!!!! Congrats!!!
And Bentleys.. /shivers.
THe race shop I work on on weekends building small formula cars, happens to be a Import Auto repair place. And they happen to specialise on Bentleys and Rolls Royce. They mostly work on european cars. Inclusing things like Deloreans.. that I found out have some Volvo motor of some sort.
I have a few pictures of some of the cars that were in the shop, and more notable... But for an example there was a concourse winning 1956 something or other Rolls Royce there last Friday when I stopped by.
Ill post some pics here in the Water Cooler after I get a chance to re-size them a little.
