    Omg love the video.
    Since I have memory I’ve always love Rolls Royce, I’ve watched lots of documentaries, all my screen saver images are Rolls Royce, im just in love with Roll Royce because of what it represents for me, it’s beyond any words. The best car in the world. I’m 20 years old so it’s not that common that someone my age likes it that much. Most of my friends thinks it’s a brand for older people or for show off kinda of person. Definitely not. It’s about the refinement, luxury, comfort, presence, power, bespokeness, elegance, and so much more. The pinnacle of luxury, I couldn’t agree more about there’s nothing like it.
    I was fortunate enough to travel to London, my first priority was to go to a Rolls Royce dealership and see a Phantom or any Rolls in person. Fell in love with it, it was everything I expected and beyond. I wanted to go to the factory in Goodwood England but I couldn’t, I didn’t mind much because I already fulfilled my dream of sitting in one. I just need to drive one now. And yes, it’s my dream and I will own a Rolls Royce sooner than later.
    Right now I want to buy a Hyundai Equus, for the moment that’ll be my budget Rolls Royce. Then after I can afford it, I will get my beloved Phantom.
    Thanks so much for the video! You are very fortunate

    Good honest vid, nice to see a vid that exposes the good the bad and the ugly. That's a gorgeous car looks like a luxurious tank. Just realize even if you buy one for a $100k you're still maintaining a $300k-$400k car. This reminds me of your Prevost RV vid, these ultra high end vehicles require ultra high end bank accounts, unless you're in the business/possess the knowledge and often proprietary tools to maintain them.

    As a 23 year rolls and Bentley owner and someone that owned more than 2 dozens of them in those 23 years and many models, I can give any new owner a good advice. NEVER use anything aftermarket on these cars. In the end the whole issue will cost you double. Buy a used genuine but not a new aftermarket and if you know you’re going to keep the car for a while, stuck up on parts. Every time you see something that has a good price, buy it because prices on the parts keep going up.

    Yeah one of my car is a phantom VII EWB very loaded pretty much everything you can bespoke minus the partition.i bought it 7 years ago It's a wonderful car but it's not cheap to run. They can be very temperamental. I drive it and enjoy it but I must say I like being driven in it. Getting a good chauffeur for it is a must. I'd say you should try it out you'll see it's a nice change. I'm considering getting the current one also ewb when the economic crash happens to get a good deal. Cheers and enjoy your phantom it's a wonderful car.

    This is how so many could end up in disrepair because you couldn't afford or put cheap parts on it there is a vast difference in after market and the original parts this is why the car was designed and built in the first place for the people with special means never on the cheap and they need to understand that and to be fare generally do

    You said it! That control arm issue was more than likely as a result of the low profile aftermarket wheels. Trust me, I used to see it numerous times when I used to work in the auto care field. Where a customer puts big ole 22 - 26' aftermarket wheels and low profile tires on their ride and a year later they need to replace parts on their suspension such as the control arm.

    Composite fenders, I didn't realize that. My '89 FWD Cadillac Fleetwood also has composite fenders. I had a Vogue tire tread seperate and destroyed the fender last year. It took me a while to find a new fender. This year it goes on and a total re-paint. Car Wizard had a Maserati not long ago that needed new converters. Something like $4K each I think. Cost to clean up a GM Duramax LML diesel Bosch CP4 pump failure... $10K to to $20K.

Funny you mentioned don’t leave it outside. I have a few 1960s cars that I’m currently restoring and I was telling my friends and family once they’re done where will I go?? I’m definitely not parking them anywhere. I might go from my house to my sisters and park in her driveway or take them to car shows etc. The days of parking then by the curb or in a shopping center are over! I pictured exactly what you said, some Jack Ass dancing on the hood taking a video of him / herself. Not going to happen!!! Best of luck on your Rolls. Keep it real!!! 👍🏼👍🏼
