The Phantom is more for being chauffered around in than to drive, the Ghost is the one you'd drive yourself, far nicer.

I believe I is the cheapness in manufacture that causes this, in the older cars the spring was neatly chamfered off on the last coil where it sat on the upper and lower platform. These dys this is not the case, so there is a single point of stress and contact, that I believe causes the stress.
Also known to be a problem which leads to breakage of some airgun springs.
I prefer gas-ram (also called gas spring) powered air rifles.
Sort of consistent with having had a GS, Xantia and now C5..... :roll:

The Ghost colour scheme and front bumper alterations by the Swiss tuning company Masonary are hideous especially with the lights reflecting on the paintwork but you won't see it for long, 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, 180 mph :lol:

The Porsche Panamera is already a pug ugly car, here's what Masonary did to make it worse

A pink BMW should qualify for a very low insurance premium, at least in terms of the theft quotient.

Why wait when you can afford one now?

Exactly! An awesome car does not mean a new car! [-X

Can be anything you like, a crazy Renault Avantime for a few grand, one of the best riding Citroens ever - an XM for £500! It can be anything and all within a students budget :mrgreen:
