Spotted a Black Bentley Continental GT today. Sad that is was driven on salt filled roads up here in Ohio. I could see that it was relatively clean, but there was still salt build up on the sides and such, ahhh! It had Florida plates on it though.

MSRP: $169,990

v12, DOHC, 6.0 liter. 552BHP @6100.
23.80 gal. fuel tank 12/19 MPG

EDIT: Was supposed to say Bentley in the title, haha

There's a ton in FL, especially this area, you see them around like everyones driving Civics lol. Neighbor just picked one up (the CGT, not the Spur Sedan). I still don't care for them, but hell, if you got the cash....lol

I'd love an Arnage, now that's a Bentley, but my bank account doesn't agree with me :D
 
Your right about that Surfer. There's about 3 of them just just in my neighborhood. One of my neighbor's 3 houses away has one. I love the interior and it's fast for a big car. I don't know why they bother even putting in a back seat. I'm 6' tall and and with the front seat adjusted for me there is no leg room at all in the back. I guess that's why the came out with the 4-door flying spur version. I almost brought one for my wife when the first came out but she like a Mercedes better which was ok with me. She likes a smaller car. The car is large for as little room as it has on the interior.

Florida must be going for upscale British influence - I saw a Bentley and two Aston Martin DB-9s today.
 
Man, those cars are all over the road here in Naples. It's SICK

My mom's friend has a black CGT and she lives in Boca Raton during the winter.

ya, tell me about it. i love the arnage too
 
This is an older guy probably in is mid sixies who lives a couple of blocks from me. He has a 67 black and silver Bentley in mint condition that is simply stuning. The car is the classiest older car I have ever seen. In terms of elegance the new ones don't compare to it. There is another guy around the block with a blue Arnage. I see his little kids crawling on it and walking on top of it all the time.

I'd donkey punch those kids :D. I love the Arnage, just oozes class and has such good presence, something about it. The CGT and Flying Spur, nah, don't do it for me.
 
Somebody got one in the area I live, nice car, but it looks like crap, hardly ever clean and full of swrils, some people just amaze me, buy a bad ass car with a big price tag, and just let it go to waste. Personally, if that person offered to trade cars, I would turn them down, because lord knows had bad the paint and interior is.
 
There is white Bentley limmo in my neighborhood, as well as MB S-class limmo.
Man I'm going crazy when I see those cars.:awesome: Im the MAN
 
I've never seen one in person. I guess that means I'm poor. lol They're sure not driving around my neighborhood.:p Oh well, you can't have everything... where would you put it?

I couldn't agree more, although if we were driving them, think how BAD*SS they would look ;)

The S-class limmo was white, and so was Bentley. I'm sure it was the same car that I saw over and over again. And once I saw Mayback (don't remember wheather it was 57 or 62), with two old ladies in there (windows were not tinted). I wish my grandmas' had a car like this.:p
I will sing a song: "They see me rollin', they're hatin' tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty....":p :awesome: Im the MAN

Not "they see me moving"....
 
Only luxury sedan I want is the new Audi S8, car is so gorgeous. I've driven the new S6, but the S6 looks so bland and borring, the S8 just looks great, especially in black. I like how they changed a few things to the Gallardo engine and slight displacement increase for more torque down low, it doesn't scream like the Gallardo, but has more of a deep howl thats awsome. Sounds much better then the M5/M6, buddy is running Eissenmans I believe on his M6 and inside it sounds good but outside it sounds like an overgrown Civic. I just wish Audi offered it in RWD and manual trans, how sick would that be in the S8 :D

The Audi S8 is a beautiful looking car. I personally love AWD. That's one problem with my Viper. If I really jump on it in 1st the back tires are spining and the car starts to go sidewides where as the Lambo just takes off straight and the back tires don't spin. The Viper is definitely a lot of fun to drive but some of it's power is being wasted and it's harder to control. (I'm sure Surfer will have something to say about this)

That's cause you gotta learn to control the raw beast, thats what makes it so much fun, pure drivers car, come on down and I'll teach you :D heheh j/k

And bring my Gallardo back, you borrowed it long enough :D . Heffner is still waiting on your half of the deposit for turbos lol.

Yeh the S8 is just awsome, may not be as fast as the M5 or S600 etc, but I'd take it over either of those.
