Todays Detail - RR Phantom

Beautiful car!

But, how do you detail umbrellas? ;)

Is that a footrest there tucked in under the back seat? Or just a leather panel? Carpet looks nice and plush too.

I actually did clean the umbrella!
The leather panel under the seat is for the cd player. The other seat has the same thing with for the DVD-NAV cd. There is a foot rest under the fur carpet that can be raised for a "comfy" foot position.
 
One of the perks I had at a previous job was getting paid to test drive press vehicles. I had the privilege of driving a Bentley Arnage Red Label for a day -- I can personally attest that for a car that out weighs an Excursion, it blew the doors off a 5.0 Mustang from a standing stop, and was governed at 147. This lux-o-barge would give my '66 SS Chevelle a run for it's money in the 1/4 mi and for such a boat, it handled like a 5 series Beemer. All of this with the grace, sophistication, fit, finish, and elegance of sitting in my favorite Lazy Boy recliner. If this customer offers you the ride, be sure he puts his foot into just so you can feel it for yourself -- there is no substitute for immense torque!!

oh, I think I forgot...

SUPER NICE DETAILIN' JOB RM !! :bigups

Thanks a lot for the compliment.

I know what you mean about the Bentleys/RR’s being heavy and fast. I detail some of the world’s nicest cars and I have had the privilege to drive many special cars. When it comes to luxury, nothing beats the new RR Phantom. If you want something very nice and VERY fast, the Maybach is the car for you. I personally think that the Phantom is so much nicer than the Maybach, that its not even worth comparing. But they are both VERY nice cars.

BTW, the 360 that you have pictured in your avatar, is one of the nicest and most special cars in the world. I have driven 360’s many times and they are truly unique and special cars.
 
Yeah, the 360 is an amazing ride. Only thing I disliked about it was having to hold that silly lil handle to back up. If I owned one, that would definetly be by-passed with a safty-togle switch. I also agree the Phantom over the Maybach. But honestly though I have no desire to be a Billionaire, and if I did have that kinda money to spend, I'd hate to be the person detailing my cars ;) :lmfao

Are you talking about the F1 tranny with the small lever that must be pulled back for reverse? You dont have to hold it back. You just pull up and back untill you hear a "beep". Once the "beep" is heard you are in "R". A push on the right gear pedal would then put you in first gear. The F1 is very easy to use and is really great. The only time it isnt so great is at low speed (traffic). Even in "auto" mode it is a bit rocky at low speeds. I think its electronic clutch ingaging and disengaging.
 
Yep, that's the one... oh well, I guess then the one I drove was malfunctioning... :(

Like I said, that was the only thing I disliked -- everything else was fandango!!
