New Roller in tedious rap vi shocker!
Discussion
It will surprise virtually nobody but nevertheless failed to soften the dismay with which the appalling concept of bling affecting otherwise perfectly corpulent vehicles, impacted on my viewing displeasure recently.
Neither knowing or much caring for the artiste(s) on parade, the first Phantom to be utilised so has found immediate consignment into the dustbin of MTV-style pimp wannabe cack.
There's something wholly disturbing that this moronic musical form has found custodial empathy with something so profoundly qualitational as the new Rolls Royce and yes, that's despite it's loss of brown tweediness at the hands of our Saxon cousins' impossibly efficient manufacturing processing.
Why can't these awful people stick to Cadillacs and dead cattle bone?

Yep, know exactly what you mean. Was on the phone to another PH'er the other day who had MTV on in the background and he broke the sad news to me that the Phantom has become the numero uno wheels of choice for our materialistic, misogynistic friends. 50 cent has featured one in his video.
No doubt if the Veyron ever makes it into production then that will be the next big thing.
At the New York Auto show the other day it became apparent that in an attempt to stop the Bentley Boyz changing the wheels upon delivery they were selling them already chromed up. Desperately sad really.
DeR, you'll like this story. So much wrong with it I don't know where to start...
On the other hand I was watching an MTV show called 'Pimp My Ride' yesterday. This is not quite as bad as it sounds. Apart from some exercising some very questionable taste and generally throwing too much chrome at the vehicles which are overhauled, the makeovers are done by a bunch of very talented and imaginative craftmen who I'd happily hand over an wreck to provided I could encourage them to leave the spinners and playstations in their boxes. Crucially though, they're capable of creating cars far more eye catching and ORIGINAL than spending half a million dollars at your local Maybach/RR dealer.

I'm entirely unsurprised by this.
Having seen one of these monstrosities in the flesh, I can quite categorically state that they are vulgar, bordering on grotesque.
That's a description I'd apply to no previous Roller.
No matter though, so long as the "Big Ron disappreciation society" are not whacking 22" spinning discs on Bentley Turbos there's still refuge for the English cad and plutocrat yet.

Bet they're glad of every single sale, no matter how crass the recipient.
It's a quintessential irony that a car designed for the very cream of the upper classes can only be afforded by the very dregs of the untalented who can incredibly yet inhumanely fuse inanely simple electronic beats and rhythms generated by an Argos keyboard with a literary opus of nursery rhyme magnitude and complexity.
Yo, don't diss me....
You never could conceive one day you'd really miss me
I speak...I got no voice...
It doesn't matter cos I got a Rolls-Royce

Its easy to say they should watch who to sell to, a lot harder to wave away 250k per car when you are missing your sales targets by 40%

It's shame they don't have better control over who they sell them to. It worked for McLaren with the F1.
Wycliff Jean has an F1, he also has a Hummer with a shark filled aquarium where the rear seats and 'trunk' should be. Even Adrian Brody, Oscar winning actor for 'The Pianist' has a Hummer running on 28"s, they're all at it in LA. Good article on 'bling' cars, I think it was in 'Car' magazine, I get so many car mags I get confused.

This car was bought at auction I think and I reckon McLaren are not tending to be so controlling with supply now. They did successfully managed to stop Mike Tyson (and every lottery winner who asked) from getting hold of one in the past.
Update...
Just seen the new Usher video and it featured a GORGEOUS DB5!!! Only chrome on it was as David Brown intended.
Whether this means that classy classics are the new bling or maybe that Aston will be the next Bentley remains to be seen. I can see a disorderly queue forming at the local dealerships now with cash in one hand and a chrome spinner catalogue in the other. Got a nasty feeling that some DB9's have a grim future ahead of them...
!!!Just seen a guy in a wheelchair with chrome spinners - where will it all end!?!

There was a Roller convertible in the "Rollin'" video by that rap group/metal group I can't think of the name of, so impressive are they in the musical talent department.
it was 'limp biscuit' iirc.
the car was parked up by adam sandler.he got out thinking that fred durst (if thats his right name??) was the valet for parking.
