I drove a BENTLEY yesterday!!!!!
 

As some of you know I'm the GM of a local Harley dealership. Some of our customers have WAY more money than they know what to do with, so they buy lots of expensive toys!!! A customer I hadn't seen in a few years came in yesterday driving a 2006 Bentley Continental GT and wanted to take me for a drive. I can't explain the power and luxery of this car......W12 twin turbo, 550hp, 491 lb ft of torque, all wheel drive and a top speed of 200mph!!! One the way back he asked if i would like to drive and of course I said yes!!! I am now completely geeked about this car.......I still have wood from the drive!!! Just thought I'd make some of you green with envy.;)

Wood from the drive? What did you do, pry some of the veneer from the dashboard?

Wood as in stimulated male body part.:rolleyes:

Damn, I hate you, I am about 3 shades of green with envy

Nate, I have a hard time even putting into words what that car was like!!! It was so rock steady at 100 plus I could hardly beleave I was going that fast!!! Oh, and talk about incredible brakes.......WOW!!!! I hope someday you get behind the wheel of one, it will change your whole perception of what a car should be like.:D

i thought they were W12...


ive ridden in a Bentley Phantom... but the most expensive car drive to date was the CLS55 AMG

Those GT's are so common where I live, we call them the Hyundai's under the super cars. BTW saw a convertible GT the other day in La Jolla, didn't look that great with the top up. But it must be awesome to go 190mph with the top down!

I think I have to get serious with my live and start making some serious money...

There a are a few of those buzzing around in my area, they look pretty good. One of the guys at the marina is really into them and has a bunch of older ones, bought a GT last year. Its a nice car, I don't care if its gut some VW guts.

The low-end torque on Bentlys is hard to describe,, like getting a push start from God.

Nice description Juck!!!! Very accurate too!!!

Yup, I'm envious!!

I saw a Nissan 350-Z in Virginia today being driven by a man who looked to be in his fifties.

The personalized liscense plate said it all:

"Z AGRA"

Ply-woodie.

That is funny, the Hyundai's of super cars. :D On a relative scale $185,000 is a cheap car compared to he Murcielagos and 612's driving around. I have seen as many as 5-6 Continental GT's in one day but there's always one tooling around Staples center on the way home from work.

They don't howl like a Ferrari can. ;)

They are nice I see them on occasion; more than Ferrari's because they are the favorite car of former MSU basketball players and their parents.

and they are all Black every single one of them.

i can make a really nasty statement if ya want... woooooot
