Default Rolls Royce - The New Phantom 2006

.1)
8)
Special Thanks goes first to Marwan,

TV Presenter of his own car show "CARZ" on Dubai International TV.
Quite an interesting guy, I wish you can join us here man. At the same time you can have your car reviews in writtings,



So, lets get on now! The New RR






First, let me say this, The Phantom had very very distracting things, shiny, chromed like 22” spinners and Similar to JW members Boob avators, we tend to keep staring all day, my concentration was on the silver angle on my bonnet!





From time to time, I daze.. my eyes is drown completely in the huge polished surface up front my windshield, and I keep thinking of many possibilities that I could have made in my life to turn my business more
profitable $$$, and to have my own chauffeur to drive me around.





So while the background starts to blur, and the music is fading away.. I start to dream...............

Immediately, my friend jumps on to correct my steering wheel!.. OOOH!... I hammered the breaks very hard and the nose dived like a jet ski into a huge wave. ooof! Thank God nothing happened to the $461K machine, but my G4 MAC was thorn violently across the back seat to the back of the front seat. Honestly! was lost in my own world.

After 120min fighting over who should drive this car we diverted to who are the drivers of the car. basiclly owners! We were not very familiar with the exact car history, as much as we know LADA! but the spec as much as we wanted to know the “Buyers spec” RR Customers.

So, Who are the buyers... Age? Gender? Power? What do they have? What do they do? Why do they buy it? Where do they keep it? Who should it be driven by? etc.

You see, the Phantom is not about the engine or fancy doors, or 6m long, or even the non rotational R logo on it’s 21” wheel, Forget all about those special exotic things, it is actually about the owner identity. The Silver Lady on the bonet!

They are not rich, they are just Wealthy, rich are the big Rappers, but wealthy who might pay the rich rappers to bling along. The Wealthy own other transportable toys too, super-yacht with a helipad, and a small island somewhere in Dubai. Plus a garage, with the latest super-cars and couple of segway for his golf buddies. The Phantom will be for sure the one that is parked in-front of his main gate, just incase it rained, he could pull out the exclusive RR umbrella from his left rear door.






Guys! This is way beyond of me to explain how this is a Phantom! It’s unlike any car. They won’t care how quick can it hit 0-100Km or traction control! or I have an iPod connector. People who drive such cars would like to buy time, to freez it, or at least make is slower!



Just Exterior






















Just Interior















How does it drive?





Me

Well, my smile did stretch my face for couple of hours then I went into a Sheikh Mood. It was very very special guys...
