I overheard a conversation last evening where one guy was talking to another in the pub...He said "I have to get the Spirit of Ecstacy"...and he sure looked too old to be talking about pills. I am intrigued... Anyone help please?

Eric is right, it's the flying lady statue on a Roller.

Don't buy a Rolls-Royce off a bloke in a pub!

I thought it was the plane Lindburgh flew across the Atlantic.
