My new car, again

[Maccapacca]

Bet the mpg isn’t that great, the tyres are expensive etc etc etc

It's a beautiful specification, painted in a sort of rose champagne gold,

So...brown?

Not that it matters. Car like that looks stunning in any colour. Very nice indeed, I would love to have something like that to waft around in. Enjoy

Driving modes? There's none of those in the Ghost You just put it in D with the steering column shifter and that's it. You can raise the suspension for clearance and lower it for entry, but there's no changing the stiffness of the chassis, weight of the steering, throttle response or anything like that. It's set up as Rolls-Royce believe a Rolls-Royce should behave.

Ah, interesting! I assumed it would have the usual BMW driving experience stuff. I suppose it must automatically adapt the more you press on then…

Crikey, "daily drivers" (sorry) don't get much better than that. I bet that's a car in which you don't groan when your navigation says there's heavy traffic ahead.

I hope it treats you well, and the dealership experience lives up to its brand!

 

[Yaayuh!]

At the dealership we sat for a bit in a Phantom Extended Wheel Base. Lovely car, but truly gigantic at 6.1m long and all about the rear seats. That felt very much a passenger's car. The Ghost on the other hand is the baby Rolls at 'only' 5.4m (for the standard wheel base which I have), which is bigger than most cars but relatively small by Rolls-Royce standards. It's a little bigger in the back seats than the front, but more or less even. It's obviously very comfortable for passengers but you never feel like you're a chauffeur when you're behind the wheel - it's an absolute pleasure to drive at any pace.

Ah, fair enough! Good to know

Lovey car, not a personal fan of the colour, but a lovely car none the less.

 

[Temujin]

It's like a 300c and a Bentley had a steamy liaison..
Congrats and enjoy wafting down the road!

 

[Scania]

Wonderful car, and proof were it needed that all these various modes you can select on its baby BMW 7 brother are largely pointless.

Congratulations and enjoy!

 

[Sirrel Squirrel]

Very nice, definitely a better choice than a Range

 

[Rilot]

Crispy

 

[shadow_boxer]

That is fantastic! Congratulations.

Lol the ocuk fleet is getting silly now. What happened to all the screw modded 306s and Mondeo Ghia X posts?

Haha, isnt it just!

 

[tom_nieto]

What a beauty! Was not expecting a Rolls when I opened the thread. Well played!

 

[pugheaven]

WOW balls deep! Love it

Great car PMK! I love the idea of a Rolls being the "day to day" car!

 

[Somnambulist]

Nice. My gym’s manager recently swapped out his Bentley Continental convertible for a RR one, not sure which model but it’s a tank. Yours looks a lot cleaner though!

 

[Tom_ed1987]

Very nice

 

[R4z0r]

Wow, what a car.

I had no idea a Range Rover was anywhere near the same league as a Rolls Royce!

 

[JBod]

That is a beautiful car without a doubt. Just out of interest, did you test drive or consider a fully decked-out Tesla Model X?
