I just wanted to thank all of you on here since it's been a fantastic year at SharkWerks and so I figured I'd treat myself to a more comfortable daily driver. Kermit is great and all but I'm getting older, my bones ache more and the roads aren't helping the stiff suspension. I miss England so please welcome my new daily D:







It's got suicide doors and a button to open and close them. It's also got a couch for seats:


Extra fluffy sheep-skin carpets perfect for the track and no sport chrono:


I am so over carbon fiber interiors and hence I spec'd out a couple of trees as well for the interior:


For wheels I decided to go with 21s. 22s would ride too firm plus I wanted less rotational mass and better braking performance. It already weighs 5400 pounds so I don't want to get too heavy.


Best of all this Phantom Drophead Coupe is actually a convertible:


Anyone know of a bolt-in roll bar? I will be tracking occasionally... So maybe I'll check with Tony@TCD.


Anyways keep those orders coming my friends it takes a few dimes to fill her 17.6 gas tank up. Very fuel efficient with 11mpg city & 18hwy

 

Ballin'!!!

When are you getting the 26 inch spinners?

JK...congrats on a beautiful car!

 

Congrats & I hope you enjoy tooling around in your four-wheeled furniture. I think the RR qualifies as a branch office.

 

Congrats Alex, ur a great ambassador to enthusiast community. May need to pic up a pipe to smoke while driving that beauty.

Ken

 

Good year indeed! Too bad Rolls Royce is now German...kiss good bye your cucumber sandwiches washed down with pimms and a side of bubble and squeak soup!

 

Beautiful Car! But I would have expected to see you in a Panamera Turbo S! Congrats and enjoy in good health!

 

LOL I was only pullin' yer legs! I would be in a Pana TT S anyday before a Roller!
ROFL... yes it is all made by ze Germans now. Even sounds like a BMW inside...

Aww thanks Ken that's too kind and I'll get the pipe before I actually buy a Roller:P

Haha yeah right!

Haha I was just pullin' yer legs pal. I went to pick my car up from the detailer and couldn't resist!

 

that is a great thread.

 

Too bad this wasn't posted on 4/1...would have been a great April Fools joke.

 

no it´s: thank god it is german and reliable now.
very nice, but i have to say, i would have picked a Bentley (Arnage etc.)
Bentley > RR, for me and will always be.

 

theres always:

 

Off yer meds again, Alex?

 

har, har, its not May fools, it's April fools...

Anyway post the pic with you and Too Short rollin' to Santa Row in the drop top Roll's...

 

Mate, that's too Posh!!!

Of course you could have bought a turbo Panamera then "Robert's your mother's brother". But a Rolls Royce? Are you diabetic? Maybe dipping into the spotted-Dick a whee too much?

 

Thats off the wall even for you!
Tell tell owner to try a Tornado for the gas mileage...
