    I do love Bill's jaundiced view on life. Very dry humour which goes down well here in the UK. I don't watch these reviews for the car, but rather for Bill's acerbic rants.

    The turn off - At the rear, looking at the rear of this car the shape of the taillights and how they wrap around along with the chrome strip above the license plate resembles very much the rear of the 1990/91 Ford Crown Victoria. And vintage it is especially those buttons under the air vents on the dash that look like mini jukebox selectors at a greasy spoon diner. Oh, I forgot. That chrome circular I guess speaker cover in front of the door handle - Grandma had those on her colored matched radio and toaster from the 40s. Ending with this, the selector switch for the headlights. What the hell is that? Reminds me of a knob on a toaster. Imagjne that.

They were even longer and wider than the RR Phantom, ft. an 8.2 L ( ! ) V8 motor ... and 3). The erotic brochure is only fitting for a car that has a "Spirit of Ecstacy" hood ornament, lol.
