Steve Foley Rolls-Royce

I avoid repairing British made vehicles like my dog avoids the bathtub. When former Texas Gov. Briscoe brought in his pile of British made bullocks, I had no choice. (Well I did have a choice but he is THE MAN you know).
Fortunately it was an older model and simple to diagnose. Now, where does one buy parts for a Rolls Royce in Texas? Not at Pep Boys, that’s for sure.
A quick look online showed no Rolls dealers in Texas but I found Steve Foley listed. Since I grew up in Deerfield, I decided to order parts from them. Kathy is the parts manager and fielded my call. I put on my best phony country bumpkin accent and proceeded to order my part. It turns out the part was obsolete. I was put on hold for a short period of time and Kathy informed me she located it in France. It would take about a week to get.
I ordered the part and since I had her going with the southern drawl, she inquired how I located Steve Foley in the first place and where in the world was Uvalde. I made up a phony story about how the local Uvalde newspaper had reviewed Barnaby’s pizza across the street and made Northbrook world famous. I informed her to prepare for Northbrook to soon be overrun by rubes, bumpkins, rustics and cedar choppers looking for Pizza and a new Rolls Royce. Kathy started to laugh, and realised I was not from Texas.
I got my part in ten days. When I opened the box, I was surprised to find a Barnaby’s menu included. Thank you Kathy, you made my day!
