    When you need a hairstylist to do the carpet give a buzz...

    Congrats! But as you now there are other horses in your stable i like more!
    This one's giving me the idea of an old man and the sea...(but as an addition to the stable it's beautiful enough i suppose)
    I can greatly appreciate the handcrafting on a Rolls since we visited the factory some years ago(just before this Phantom was released).
    The care for detail is just
    We only are handcrafters too,and love to see how other people fulfill their work with so much passion as the workers at RR do.

    How on earth are you going to find space for this in your stable?



    I've made provision during the year, built on a couple more garages at the house

    LOL @ at the "rugstylist"

    I also thought the Phantom was for the more senior generation, but after driving one and just the experience as a whole changed my mind. It is a truly unique vehicle in a class of its own.

    Re: Phantom is here!

    Mke, congrats! I must have said that word to you at least 2 dozen times already. To me, the Phantom is the ultimate car. If I could only have two cars, one would have to be a Phantom and the other a GT3RS or Scud. Well done on the colour choices as well. It looks sensational. Have you thought about the Drophead Coupe? My dealer let me played with one recently and I was mightily impressed.

    Hi way,

    The launch of the drophead is in the middle of November - I doubt I'll be very interested in it though.

    Re: Phantom is here!

    TRuly beautiful and classy car, Mike.
    Tell me, who will drive it? Seriously - will u have a chauffeur or drive it yourself?
    Seems like a waste to not be driven around like royalty in this, and it will perhaps look a bit - I dunno - strange, that the owner of a RR drives himself - but perhaps I'm oldfashioned that way.

    Re: Phantom is here!

    No disrespect Mike, but I'll take the drophead anyday. The way I see it is you buy a car to drive and not be driven, to drive a Phantom will be abit awkward hence you need to be driven which is not much fun. The drophead is the car for you mate

    That car is sweet. Do all Phantoms come with the umbrella in the door? If so I'd like to see a picture of it.

    Green ones must belong to Peninsula Hotel right? They have 25 Phamtoms? I saw a dark purple one in Singapore the other day. Looks, umm, interesting.

    Hmmm... Seems to me that pretty soon your dwelling will comprise some garages with a house attached to them.

    Great choice of wheels, I was afraid aftermarket wheels would make it to much of a pimp-mobile but you've made a great choice!

    Looking forward to see some pics!
