    Rolls Royce is my favorite marquee in the world. The timeless value and elegance of having one of these cars is sooooo understated, and the drive is just amazing. I have had the opportunity to drive a couple on a few different occasions, and it just seems like other cars on the road part and make way for you. I was at first skeptical of the new phantom, however that all changed about a month back when I had a chance to get inside of one. Now, I can't judge it with a 62 or 57, I still haven't seen one of those in person, but the car is just amazing. I was invited back to Bentley Gold Coast to take it on a ride, so I am definitely looking forward to getting back to Chicago...btw, the car was black with black hides and listed for 230,000 with I believe 28xxx miles on it.

    Rolls is the only marquee that i like right now too. there is nothing like it. i drive the 62 a couple of weeks ago and it fells like a big S600 (which it is) the Phantom is like a big boat on the road. you are at the same hieght as trucks.
    im having lunch with the designer of the Phantom next week to discuss some new mods and interesting stuff, hes a real cool guy anda true enthusiest

    I drove an 84 silver spur about a year ago, that was the first rr that I ever drove. After that first drive, I was hooked. I drove an 88 Silver Spirit, and that just cemented my love for the cars. I have never driven a Bentley, but I am definitely looking forward to the first chance I get to do so. I found it amazing, because I would drive the RR and it seemed like everyone was looking at me, trying to figure out who I was, what I did. I can't wait til I get my own.

    yes hter is a perception that you are somebody important when driving that car if you dont know how easy they are to get.
    beofre so many people had them it would get the most attention of any car.
    ive been looing at the the 62 Phantom V that looks very much like the present phantom.
    you are correct about how amazing the car is

    that is one of the coolest phantoms i have ever seen! nice wheels! lol-i was kind of hoping to see the smart car next to it, the phantom looks like it would probably crush one of those smartcars.

    Nice Rolls! Not a huge fan of the rims, but I love the Variety in your collection. White is also the best color on the Phantom, no question. Any pictures of all 4 together?

    Thanks. they are not my fav rims but the problem is that you need a full faced rim that would cover the yucky brakes and small calipers. there arent many 24" full faced rims.

    I have no picture of them all together. i have them in differnt places

    Ultimate luxury car by far. Saw a silver seraph in town yesterday-it was white and looked pretty could. Phantom looks best in black imo. Dunno about pricing but it will come down.

    wow, kind of surprises me you get more head turns in the smartcar than any of your others, neat little car but a little too impractical for me
