I do love Bill's jaundiced view on life. Very dry humour which goes down well here in the UK. I don't watch these reviews for the car, but rather for Bill's acerbic rants.
He's a national treasure here in the US. I'm convinced he could do a very detailed review on a 1980s garden hose if it ever came down to it.
The cars are just a bonus, and a proper excuse to listen to and enjoy the ramblings of an old man.
oh for the Love of God...
@@BlacKnightRising 🤣🤣🤣
Weaving humor with a voluminous vocabulary makes Bill a delight.
Bill the kind of guy to do burnouts outside a retirement home.
What’s wrong with that? Lol
To cheering crowds.
We love bill. He gives zero craps about anything❤😂
Retirees are hard of hearing anyway 😎
I'm the type of guy , I do burnouts at a retirement home with my wheelchair help from guacamole and black Mexican beans 🔥🔥😜😉😉😉👍😀😀👏
Rolls Royce styling has gone from “Yes of course dear boy I have money. Always have.” to “Brah check it out! Look at how much money I
have!”
Bill you forgot the button on the A pillar to close the door...one can't possibly close one's own door........
...yes, that's what I was thinking, too! 👍 ...the DOOR buttons (driver/passenger) are visible at 24:00 at bottom of A pillar (or on flat portion above the speaker)...
Bill has the greatest voice, should have done a career in radio. I love his outlook and his car reviews and am glad to see him still going!
The flasher reference to the doors being open. 🤣🤣
In the case of closing the wide opening doors: there is a button that does it for you so you don’t have to reach out so far.
Anything for the lazy pampered rich
@markremy4946 rich people are not lazy. It takes alot of work with out sleep
I love how Bill takes a supremely classy vehicle and sullies it a bit with the whole flasher reference!
And of course reading the brochure's almost smarmy description of the car.
Classic Bill!
Thanks for another entertaining review.
Enjoy the weather next week, Bill! ❄
Now you're talkin! Would love to see a Bentley Brooklands or Mulsanne too.
Bill. The Man. The Myth. The Legend. 🏆
The still shot of Harvey Korman from "Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" cracked me up. My dad loved that movie.
I love that movie, even though I’ve seen it numerous times it still cracks me up!
@@COJones43 Same here!!
You mean Dick Shawn as Sylvester Marcus. Harvey Korman wasn't in the movie.
@@thesolver1970 Thank you. All these years I never paid attention to the credits and thought it was Harvey Korman.
I don't even have a driver's license 😂 but I'm addicted lmao .. Bill your awesome 👏👏
Get your license man ✊
...and have Bill as the driving instructor! 😂
Bill is the type of guy that would recommend the movies "Goodfellas, "Casino, and Scarface" as role models.
THE WORLD CHICO ITS YOURS
lol
@@TheLizardKing1967 Jim....is that you? 😉😎
He also has the face for radio :}
This for sure. ua-cam.com/video/ZtQJnliOCBQ/v-deo.htmlsi=AXm2zk4U_vnmolR4
I love when he complains about the weather!
This dude, with the Chambermaids scenarios😂😂🎉
Bill, the flasher reference and graphics were the best ever!! 🤠
“It’s no fun being poor when you’ve got a natural talent for improperly using wealth.” Bill channeling Winston Churchill while reviewing a Rolls-Royce. lol
Increase Bill's pay grade for producing such a humorously aspirational expression that disparages money and how it brings out the worst in us. Love it!
Poor Bill! At one point he is saying how he has been crushed under the shoe of the world and then in the background you hear a weed whacker, a lawn mower and an airplane all at the same time.
Good day Bill, I hope you've been keeping well.
The $10,000 umbrella should be an option !
When you showed the flasher you should have written Curious Cars on the blacked out square. :)
Rolls Royce!! Now you're talking MY kind of car!! Excellent video, as usual, Bill !
Takes on the profile of a flasher 😂 Bill you never cease to amaze and entertain us
Hello Bill from Ron in a very wet and cold Manchester England. What a fantastic car to review the Rolls-Royce Dawn which was launched in 2015. In 1998 BMW paid £40 million to Rolls-Royce PLC who built engines for aeroplanes for the rights to use the Rolls-Royce name
I am sure that there is a button to close that door. There has to be a power self-closing door button for each side.
Thanks for the dedication to this review, Bill. We appreciate it!
Wow what a wild car. Thanks Bill, we all appreciate your efforts!
24:45 Truer words have never been spoken.
Back to Back!
I worry about a lot of things. Now I have to worry about psycho ducks? I'm glad your friend healed, and I thank him for sharing this interesting car with all of us. The worst a duck ever did to me was peck at my leg and shoe.
Be thankful. I once had a duck shit on me while flying overhead. 🦆💩
@@COJones43 I had a bird 🐦 shit on me on my 34th birthday while I was out walking, back in the late 1990s. ☹️
@@MisterMikeTexas I read all 3 of your comments while doing a shit, and they're very funny and endearing.
I once got geese shit on my hands on a school trip.
That's about it no duck related trauma.
30 minutes! That is short for a Bill video! 😁
21:32 Bill how dare you close your own door in a Rolls Royce! There's a little control panel in the left and right corner of the dash to close the door automatically.
The Ghost and Dawn are no longer built on the 7-series platform.
All Rolls-Royce models are now built on bespoke platform like the Phantom.
Both informative and absolutely hilarious. Many thanks!
Really loved it Bill despite the rain.
Love your reviews. Informative and definitely entertaining!
Those start up chimes are sexy. I got a little excited. lol. She is such a beautiful car.
Thanks Bill now I feel good that for a short time I have Arrived !!
Thanks for this one, Bill !... Yeah.. I'm simply trying to decide which color combination to go with on my next RR order.. Decisions decisions !!
Bill the type of guy to Bump out Black Sabbath on the way to a funeral- straighten his tie and switch of the Car stereo *just* before anyone noticed! 😂
I love how the fan in the front shot where you revved the engine is louder than the engine very rolls royce
As always, Bill, love your humor!! And what a trooper, filming in the rain! The front of this car reminds me of a Chrysler 300.
And the tail lights look like the ones on my old Cavalier
There's an incredible amount of profit made on these cars. It has mostly 7 series parts and costs 3x the amount. And they still make money on the 7 series as well. Certainly a beautiful car but I just couldn't justify the cost as the one off over engineered cars of the past are gone. Cheers!
You'd think British management could manage to make a profit on 7 series with a drinks cabinet... but ohhh no. Haha😅. They are expert...at being losers.😮
Thanks for the video Bill!
Dawn is amazing car 😊 thanks a lot for this video
Amazing review, and your humour is priceless...
Firing the Gardner with the pregnant wife… LMAO
Thanks Bill.
One of your best
I personally prefer the stand alone Grille rather than the inset one.
Totally gorgeous inside and out. Woww. Only ever seen one RR in person and I live in an affluent area
You sir are finally reviewing one of my biggest dream cars! Love it!😃😀😄😁😉😏🖤💜🤍
Hey Bill, wow, a Rolls Royce!!! Bringing some British (?) class to the channel!! Thanks for the weather report!! 👍👍🙂
Nicely done!
This satisfied my curiosity, thanks.
Thank you Bill!
Forget about the Mansory edition, the Gucci edition and the Pucci edition.
If Rolls Royce wants to inject a little class into its lineup, they ought to just make a Bill edition.
Big cigarette lighter, max capacity ashtray, laser guided bird detector, Dalton Abatement System and...🤔... for the piéce de resistance...🤔...uh...a glass of coronavirus whiskey as a hood ornament. 🥃
...or miniaturized version of Marianne from back in the day.
Whataya say Rolls?
Ya got it in ya?
And also a crystal decanter of coronavirus whisky and two crystal glasses in the console.
To me this is a Masterpiece. Rolls Royce should consider offering a Masterpiece option group to further differentiate themselves from those other plebian offerings from lesser-than automobile companies.
12:45 U ARE HILARIOUS!!!!😂. The bad neighborhood reference😂
I’m here for today’s weather report!
Sweet ride. But if I had it first thing I’d do is disable those bloody chimes.
Thank you for standing in the rain to do this review.
sooooo EN-TER-TAIIIIIN-ING *lol* I LOVE your videos !!! Best wishes from Germany
The level of professionalism in your videos is impressive. You have a polished and well-produced content.
U R the best talent on UA-cam ! 🎉
This is Top 10 Bill material.
Bill they smart , all doors need to open like that on all cars ❤
I haven't googled it but I'm pretty sure that Bentley had an option for a £180k clock on the dash... and I'd be surprised if you can't get similar in an RR.
Achtung. Just stunning.
The finest cows educated at Cambridge 😂😂😂. Love the video on something I will never own.
Oxford got snubbed.
When you yell at the binging sound, it should play you a message about bullying and inclusivity.
Awesome motorcar, no doubt. Not a fan of the suicide doors, though. Thanks Bill, another great presentation!!
“Only the poor and very rich smoke”…Classic Bill.
Fun content !!!!
Bill does car reviews? I just listen to the weather and the reports on vicious man eating sparrows, rabbits, and cats.
Funny guy. Great video.
Keep'em coming! Hilarious!
I’m really surprised that they don’t have a button inside that closes the door for you
OMG! What a car!!! 😍
A coop is where you keep chickens, dear boy. It's a coupé.
Bill the kind of guy to leave a funeral home a 1 star review for not being “lively enough”
quite the contrast between this car and the 68 chevelle ss 396 in the last video . if i had to pick this or the ss 396 i would for sure go for the chevelle
The turn off -
At the rear, looking at the rear of this car the shape of the taillights and how they wrap around along with the chrome strip above the license plate resembles very much the rear of the 1990/91 Ford Crown Victoria.
And vintage it is especially those buttons under the air vents on the dash that look like mini jukebox selectors at a greasy spoon diner.
Oh, I forgot. That chrome circular I guess speaker cover in front of the door handle - Grandma had those on her colored matched radio and toaster from the 40s.
Ending with this, the selector switch for the headlights.
What the hell is that? Reminds me of a knob on a toaster.
Imagjne that.
Hilarious!!!!
The retractable Spirit of Ecstacy is worthy of Q Branch...
Gave up counting them in South Florida over Christmas.
How many Canadians can fit in the back seat? Any good gun storage spots? I have so many questions…
Thought depreciation would've hit these but even with 50k miles these things still command $200k, low miles still asking 350-400 😮
No chance. This isn't a Bentley old boy😂
How reliable are these rolls Royce’s including the phantom?
You are cracking me up doing this in a rain storm.. LOL
Is the powertrain two bored-out (ie. an extra 50ml per pot) stock BMW 3.0 liter straight-6 engines, arranged in a V?? _Et voilà..._ a 6.6 liter V12.
*Bill is too hilarious. Would love to have a beer with him lol*
Another great review as usual...love the german poser in the English trench..very funny
❤cool Bill 😎
7:53 Ironically, thats an electric converted Rolls Royce by Lunaz (on the licence plate) :D
There are a few for sale out there.
When I first looked at the thumbnail I thought it was a Chrysler 300!
I keep thinking Ford Crown Victoria every time I see that rear view! 😂 All that money for the rear end of a Crown Vic. 😂
Pardon me Bill I’m curious do you have any grey Poupon naturally you say of course as you pass over the jar of exclusive Dijon mustard from your car to Me in my car
The press release was was wild 🤣
Bill, 1). I missed the back seat Canadians ? -- 2). The car is Huge - But: Still at least 16 inch "shorter" than an early 70s Eldorado or Mark IV. They were even longer and wider than the RR Phantom, ft. an 8.2 L ( ! ) V8 motor ... and 3). The erotic brochure is only fitting for a car that has a "Spirit of Ecstacy" hood ornament, lol.
Two in one week!!!
That's lovely
