Video: Rolls-Royce in a field. Erm... what?

Nope, not a clue what's going on here, but it's so unhinged we felt we had to share.



Here's something we've just stumbled across. And it's Friday afternoon, and it's raining, so we thought we'd share it with you.

It appears to be a video of a man in a Rolls-Royce Phantom, drifting it around in a field. And not just any Phantom, either - this one looks to be an extended-wheelbase version made after the 2009 facelift, putting its value at at least £300,000, if not more.

Why? Well, we don't really know, though we suspect the reason is 'because he can'. While it doesn't quite live up to the video's title of 'Rolls-Royce Rally Car', it's certainly something we never thought we'd see. We have to give him credit for that, even if we haven't quite worked out whether it's a good thing or not.

Go on, get involved and tell us what you think. You know you want to.

Guess someone's boss has gone on holiday and left the keys with the help

I hope its not his and belongs to his boss who is blissfully unaware of his antics.

Beaten to it!

Have you seen his other videos? all seem to be in the same rural setting, clearly some obscure royal

Looks like the Duke of Northumberland's grounds at Alnwick.

Actually, looking at the other videos, now I'm wondering whether he's a member of the P1 Club or similar hehe

Nice country estate.

A friend did that once in his 360. The local Ferrari dealer were horrified when he took it in for a service the next day.

Nice bit of aquaplaning towards the cameraman at 1:20. eek

His F50 sounds lovely too, might need a new clutch soon though.

Hero. I'd definitely do that if I owned both the car and the estate.

Great fun - hopefully followed by a visit to the jetwash and then a quick once over with the T-Cut smokin

Looking at the cars in his other videos he obviously enjoys himself.

I'd be very surprised if someone on here doesn't know him.

It's the Sons of a guy called Jon Hunt who sold London's biggest estate agency chain Foxtons back in 2007 for £360 million,
they have an amazing collection of cars and like to drive them properly as you can see!!

One of them has a YouTube channel which shows them getting up to all sorts of crazy stuff.
