THE ROLLS-ROYCE Ghost is an indulgent luxury machine that is best enjoyed from the rear seats whilst quaffing something bubbly and expensive.
However, should you get behind the wheel, it is a much more nimble drive than its massive size would have you believe.
In fact, the Ghost is often described as a ‘magic carpet ride’ due to its balance of refinement and dynamic ability.
The exterior of the car consists of large, sleek, uninterrupted surfaces that flow between sculpted horizontal lines. Basically, it’s a roadgoing yacht.
This particular 2010 model is finished in a black metallic paint and comes with a panoramic sunroof and rear ‘coach doors’.
Inside, the sumptuous cabin is full of soft black leather, fine wood trimming and metal finishes. The five seats are covered in quilted black leather with Alcantara headlining, seashell piping and embossed Rolls-Royce headrests.
There are side and rear view cameras with night vision, rear seat entertainment and up front, there is a head-up display. Being a luxury motor the Ghost comes with all the comfort features you could wish for and an extensive standard specification list.
This car has a full Rolls-Royce service history with the last service carried out at 29,000 miles by HR Owen.
The Ghost is armed with a twin-turbo 6.6-litre V12 petrol engine mated to a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, which sends power to the rear wheels.
The engine produces 563hp with maximum torque of 780Nm. It does the 0-100km/h dash in about 5.0 seconds and goes on to a top speed of 250km/h or 155mph if you are keeping it old school.
This 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost falls into tax band G, which is €2,350 a year. It comes with 51,499km on the clock and a £125,995 price tag, which is about €150,159, excluding taxes.

This is one of the few countries where the US was involved, once, without anything in it for themselves in terms of Geopolitics, economics or security. In the 1990s the US marine corps in a massive humanitarian operation ended their famine. They repaid them by murdering the UN peacekeepers and dragging their comrades dead bodies through the streets.
Who is they? All of the Somalian people? Country was and still is in a state of civil war, with various opposing militias and warlords.
Calm down Jesus, He meant the people who actually dragged them through the streets. Not once did he tar all of Somalia with doing that. Stop looking for something that’s not their!
I am calm. And don’t call me Jesus.
Two tribes. One loved them the other hated them.
But when they were giving out food they never asked which group they were from. The US has done some good some bad like all big powers way more bad since 2001 (the REAL story behind that jingoistic sniper movie case in pont, Iraq, big brother) but theyre not all bad n i sometimes think they get no thanks for the good they did do. They saved this contenent from tyranny in the 40s and again in the 50s-1990 the latter without firing a shot through pure detterance. I know Africas more complex..the debt the unfair trade..but heres a case they did a selfless good,..and got burned for it.
To be honest, I wasn’t commenting on the UN/US humanitarian efforts, just adding the necessary context that those incidents you mentioned where carried out by specific group… who also largely prevented that humanitarian aid reaching the thousands it needed to. Using “they” was a poor choice when you don’t explain who they were.
It was a beautiful country. But unfortunately Islamic extremists destroyed ot.

That’s nonsense. The civil war was ongoing for years before any major Islamist groups emerged
For the red thumbers :
Confirmation bias applies to most comments on here.
Ok, Where the feck is Frank? Anyone?
Was thinking the same myself! He said something big was going to happen on Feb 17. No sign of him since before then…?
Same day as year man broke out of prison? Well well well the plot thickens….
I was there in ’92 when the country was wracked by famine and civil war.
A dangerous place for sure, the Irish were the biggest expat community there as ngos tried to save people from dying of hunger.
A year later Irish Army peacekeepers ferried supplies as part of a UN force.
The Americans went in hard – they had no experience of peacekeeping.
They wanted to capture Mohamed Farah Aidid in Blackhawk Down, the leader of one of the clans fighting for control of the country.
I met him – an arrogant so and so.
Somalis were in the past known as the Irish of Africa.
A country with great potential – now bedevilled by Islamic extremism.
