I believe it. I've been so impressed with their product of late that I bought eight of them.

Slam that sucka and put some 20'S on it!
The Stig
^^ Funny. Believe it or not, there is one in Michigan like that - the sedan not the droptop. But I've seen it twice.

you gotta click the 'owns a nuclear power plant' link.

Hah. That nuclear power plant link made me smile. Unfortunately, the "Excellent" link is broken since WR didn't host the pic themselves, and the other webhost found out. :O

Smokey - I think RR is one step ahead of you: believe it or not, the Phantom already has 21 inch wheels. Just show you how big the thing is - those wheels look like 16 inches :)
And I am sure you can ask RR nicely and they will drop the suspension an inch or two...

Does it come with a tender -- you know, those little boats they use to get back and forth when the big boat's anchored off shore?

Evidently, there are plenty of rich buyers with bad taste.

even if i have enough money to byu this i still gonna pass. bmw 6 series is much more better idea. i know is different type car but to get something so expensive like this doesnt make sense for me. the only reason to byu it is prestige. to show "look how much money i got".

I've seen these around town (Manhattan) with factory-fresh big-assed wheels.
I'm a car guy who understands physics, and realizes that anything above a certain size increases the unsprung weight of the suspension. Therefore, it's a big-assed wheel. Great for cornering and handling? Absolutely not, but it makes them fly out of the showrooms faster than Fangio. Or is that phly? Oh, sorry. "Fly" is so y2k and what's a wealthy guy supposed to do when he wants to drive around town with a jar of Grey Poupon in the backseat? Are you gonna take him seriously when the window rolls down and he's wearing an ascot and a tweed jacket in the back seat of some pimpmobile?
Uh, no. But good for Rolls-Royce anyway.
