How Many Rolls-Royce Phantoms Did Doug See Today?


  • Total voters
    57
This thread was shafted from the beginning! I selected "0," "1," "2," and "3" as poll options but it didn't post that way! And of course, the answer is three.
 






That makes a total of four I've ever seen. Three on August 26, 2005, and one from May 22, 1977 to August 25, 2005. Comical perhaps.

Oh, every single one I've ever seen? Dark blue. These three were within a half mile of each other - two privately registered, and one at a dealer.

Does anyone else find it funny that I now have my own website with hosting capabilites of about ten million of these images, yet I still use ImageShack? :D
 
Hey, I saw five Phantoms today. :dopey: All five were at a showroom in Newport Beach, but hey had a Testerossa and an F430 as well. :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:
 
If you saw a car at a dealer, you really can't brag about seeing a car. Come on people. I admit one of mine was at a dealer, but two weren't - dealers don't count!!!
 
I've seen 2 in one day, so BAH!

I'll still vote for "Doug smells" though. :p

Did they cancel the 406 coupe?
Yep, they only made it for 6 years with production of just over 100,000.

There's a 407 Coupe coming out soon, but's it's not as nice looking.

I like the 407 coupe, but not as much as the 406. At the end of the day, though, how the hell do you follow up something like the 406 coupe? It's like the Volvo C70 coupe, except it sold.
 
I saw three in one day, all in the wild in their natural habitat...Monte Carlo, Monaco, in the heart of "Casino Square". Two were black, one was an amazing silver. One of the black ones was riding on huge chrome 24'' wheels. Of course, in that same day, I also saw about 35 SL500's, 50 SL55's, 20 SL65's, 3 CLS 55's, a Maybach 57 and a 62, Brabus S55, 8 F430's, 12 F360's, two F40's, 8 Audi RS6's, two Audi RS4'S, a E60 M5, a Pagani Zonda S, a black Lamborghini Murcialago Roadster, and the list goes on...but yeah it was a very good day. :)

You give the design of the 407 Coupe to Pininfarina again and keep the Peugeot stylists well clear....

The 407 is not a bad lloking car on the whole, but I just do not like that big gaping hole grill and the loooong front overhang.
 
Yeah the guppy-fish treatment takes some getting used to.

Heck the new 307 looks terrible. And some interesting votes there Dunc.

I'm planning a trip to Monaco for this very purpose.

You guys think I'm kidding but I'm not.
 
Saw a Maybach today, by the way. Now all I need to see is an Enzo and an SLR and I've seen five of the five most expensive exotics on the market. I'll get the picture up in a few.
