Bentley GTC +RR Sport

Gentleman,

Thought i'd show a bit of UK love on the forum and show some of my close friends cars. So, just to make sure these are NOT mine, just thought i'd share some pictures we took if that's okay?

Anyway, the pictures:







Regards
Mr G.

Gcalo,

I understand your feelings about the blue wheel, it's not to everyone's taste but at least it blends in with the rest of the interior/exterior.

Nice GTC but that RR Sport looks different to the one I own...the front fascia looks different, is it a 2009?

RR Sport isn't a 2009.

I believe it has a 'stormer' pack which was an option when ordering. I like it, think it makes the RR look a bit more 'mean'.

True but I favor black steering wheels mostly due to color bleeds from color wheels.

Beautiful car, though.

I saw a black Spur today at our Eurosunday group and boy is that picking up my interest but so is the GT Convertible.

So now I wait and think. No rush.

Gcalo,

I'd avoid the Flying Spur personally. Rather have a Phantom.

The GTC is a great car, lots of power, ride comfort and the bonus of being able to have the roof down. Obviously, not needed as much over here but it's still nice to get it down when the sun shines. The GTC is also very practical too and as you can see I wouldn't hesitate about recommending one.

Regards
Mr G.

We have a considerable number of Spurs in the area and I find them all stunning!

We have a few Phantom's and I do not like that model at all. The Brooklands, yes, but not the Phantom.

I do like the convertible and that might be the ultimate choice. We have considerable sun here in California, and we have a considerable number of GT C's here in the area as well.

Hard choice. it's like choosing a woman. Each has benefits; each has issues!!!

Brooklands will be THE car that puts Bentley back on the map, seen a few around and they have so much presence on the road.

Bentley's and women, I can understand your thinking. Both will:

Spend all your money for you.
Require a lot of attention to detail.
Need to be well looked after.

However, they'll also:

Provide you with endless amounts of fun.
Something to be proud of.
Something to show your buddy's.

Regards
Mr G.

However, my woman of 35 years suggested that I place an order for the speed and insisted that I get the ceramic breaks. We did have some issues…… with the Naim, however she gave in when we were checking the boxes.
