  • Опубликовано: 23 июл 2022
  • The 2004 Toyota Century (~$30,000 in Canada as specced, ~$22,000 in the US) is a V12 powered Japanese luxury limo. But whilst it may have some charm, its not exactly alone as a luxury big displacement barge. Thomas has brought along a 2005 Rolls-Royce Phantom (for sale at CAD$159,999) and a Maybach 57s (Value ~CAD$100,000) to show James what 2000s Luxury limos are really capable of. We hope you enjoy the episode! Thanks for watching! SUBSCRIBE!
    Thanks to Amedeo DiCarlo, Criminal Defense Lawyer and his driver Mike for lending us the Maybach.
    Thanks to Nawab Motors for letting us feature their daily driven Phantom!
    And to James, for just being handsome and letting us borrow his one of a kind, creme da la creme Century. And for writing this description.

    Moral of the story, when you see a luxury car going super slowly, it means the car is broken not that the driver is classy and mature.

    I didn't expect the Maybach to outweigh the RR Phantom but hey you learn something new everyday. I guess that's why they had to use the old W140 S Class chassis because the W220 chassis was too weak.

    James, you reminded me of a good story that I’ll try to keep short, just for you.
    Two brothers would compete as they grew up to see who could swim the furthest into a Great Lake that spanned the horizon before getting to tired that one would have to give up and start to swim back as they ran out of strength.
    One day, the younger brother, who always lost to his older, stronger, brother, challenged him to one last contest. The older brother laughed in his face but accepted the challenge.
    As they got further and further into the seemingly endless horizon of water, the older brother, shocked, gave in and had to turn back.
    Back on shore, the dumbfounded older brother asked, panting with fatigue, “How did you finally beat me?”
    The younger brother smirked and said, “I never planned on turning back, my goal wasn’t to save strength for the return trip, I was committed to making it across the whole lake.”

You can tune the 1GZ-FE to the moon and back and it will smoke most fast cars out there without breaking.
