Very nice! Please excuse me for asking, but isn't having a £200k car, and living in an (albeit nice looking) cul-de-sac slightly contrived?

Lovely looking car though

Nice finish - but I still think they're damn ugly.

Nice one, good job.

It makes me smile, everytime this guy posts a car on here he gets comments about where he lives and his style of number plate choice.

Looks brilliant. I love the way your cars look when in the drive of your seemingly normal house.

I have a slightly different question to the 'your number plate is wrong/your car is bigger than your house' questions;

When was the last time you took it out and drove it like a hooligan?

Excellent! I really like the idea of one of those 'tanks' being used and abused.

A few years ago I had a little too much time on my hands and spent a happy afternoon trying to get my (ex)bosses Roll's Silver Shadow sideways evil thru the workshop on the slidy tiles.

For such a massive engine the pick-up was too sluggish for that sort of malarky but it was fun trying. hehe

Can I ask whereabouts you are? Ive seen a few Phantoms round my area which surprises me because it is not the most affluent place.



ETA Its obviously not yours because of the plates.

looks amazing and you have the best wheels on it as the other phantoms you see with the different wheels dont look nearly as good.
