is it a must to have chauffer if you have RR Phantom?

i like this car and used prices are really nice.
If i were to pick up one in a year, is this a car that i can drive or would have to get a driver?

thanks!

you *can* do whatever you want... but to me that car is made for someone who has a driver. Buying it and driving it to me is equivalent to owning and driving a stretch-limo... but that's just me.

+1
it`d be yours and you can do whatever you want with it

but imo it may push you in the show off guy corner driving that boat all alone all the time..
taking family out to dinner in the RR or doing some nice trips with it every now and then would take away from that stigma
but all in all,I`d say fvck it - screw the haters - and do your thing!

I have a fantasy that i become a real estate agent for high end homes and wealthy buyers and i pick them up to view properties in a RR Phantom with drinks and snacks waiting the in back for them. In that case, i own the car and i drive it.

In most other cases i think driving that car yourself is stupid.

The only thing I know about the RR Phantom is that I love it. With or without driver.

No in a Phantom Sedan you would look like a Chauffeur. In the Ghost you can pull it out as its more of a drivers car and meant to be used more like a Flying Spur.

You guys are crazy. My father DD his all the time since 2006. He is on his 4th phantom now. I admit when he got the first one it looked funny but now it's just normal. My friends are like all the time I saw your dad I just laugh they know he is crazy. I say buy it and drive it, if not get a 2dr Coupe and have fun.
