Re: Motive Mag: Phantom Planet

6200 miles (9978 km) -- I wonder how much fuel they used

When I first saw pictures of Phantom in 2003, I thought it was ugly. It took me quite a long time to appreciate its appearance. It isn't ugly -- especially when you see one in person.

Very true In photos it looks heavy and cumbersome because of the sagging lines (especially below the doors), but in real life it's just magnificent

Re: Motive Mag: Phantom Planet

Far from ugly. The car is absolutely mindblowing in real life (and in most pics) Thanks Artist!

Not even a tire failure on such a trip, impressive.
