Apology To PMS...My Bad
Friday April 14, 2017 12:45am San Francisco
PMS I owe you an apology. My attitude here has been based upon my incorrect analysis of a given set of facts. You are 100% correct regarding me voicing negative opinions here on this site. I have arrived at this "new" position after careful reconsideration.
I have read about half of the items published here before arriving at the new conclusion. Very few who arrive on this site are owners who have bought new Bentleys and are reporting how great the experience is.
The majority are owners of the early GT's who have been exposed to the extraordinarily expensive Bentley Dealer Service and are seeking alternative solutions. I believe this is called "Adverse Selection."
Will all early GT's require engine out repairs...probably. It's the nature of the beast. But the timing depends on many variables. Age, prior care, usage, and luck. Will the 3rd Brake Light and Headliner have to be replaced...depends on the climate, temperature etc. Will the expensive Air Suspension components have to be replaced. Depends...did someone inadvertently lift car without putting in "Jack Mode."
....To all of the owners of early GT's the best of everything and enjoy your ride...

I've been a member of Ferrari chat for years same user (tarnow 1942). It a great forum for exchanging information about Ferrari problems-and there are many-a nice helpful friendly bunch. I was an early Bentley novice when I joined this forum,and I think it will have the same demeanor. looking forward to give advice on with my 993 Porsche,which I had for years,and get help on the 05 Bentley which is new to me. Andy. ( The Ferrari 456 and Porsche 993 Ive had completely apart in my shop)
