Saw a Bentley Continental GT today...

bikinpunk · 03-06-2007, 03:53 PM

I know it's not the most incredible thing, but to see one around here is a very rare occasion. We were out with a roup of employees new to the area, and we were walking around downtown showing them the historical district. We were looking at 2+ Million dollar homes and this drives by slowly. Some middle-aged woman was cruising by and a few of us (who realize what a rarity it is to see) were just staring.

I spotted the grill about a 1/4 mile off and was like "no way". Only Bentley I've seen here, although I did see a nice Aston Martin pass me like I was sitting still on I-565.

Nice - but they are somewhat of a dime-a-dozen here where I live.

Yea, but around here it's a rarity.

I have seen a brand spanking new RR Phantom in front of a furniture store once...thought that was kinda odd.

Went to Rodeo Drive once and saw the baddest Ferrari (car, for that matter) ever: Black Modena with black wheels....shaaaaaaaaaaaaaarp.

Pretty much this with black wheels:

Agreed... althoug I'd take an Arnage R over an Azure any day.

(Sisqo's Thong Song kinda ruined the Azure for me!!!)

Saw a dark blue one a few months ago. Is it me or do they sit pretty high of the ground?

NIGHTHAWKSI · 03-06-2007, 05:03 PM

yes they do.

i am sure they didnt put much thought into aerodynamics when designing....it was probly more of just "what is most comfortable, and put a huge engine it it to make it go fast."

i will try to get a pic of the baby blue one around the block from my house...it looks so nice

I see lambos, ferraris, bentlys, every day out here especially off of PCH when i take my dog to get groomed, and in irvine in the business part, mostly old guys nothing impressing, too much money for a car that wastes too much gas and insurance too expensive

+1

...yeah exotic cars aren't so exotic in our small peninsula called South Florida. Other major spots...definitely southern Cal-eee-four-neee-ahh.

I do feel for the excitement though...growing up in O-yawn-I-O (ohio) the only way I could see a Bentley or Ferrari was to watch TV or buy a calendar.

Skyline4life · 03-06-2007, 07:29 PM

meh my Cuz/uncle has one, along with his Viper

**wing_gundam** · 03-06-2007, 08:23 PM

This is how the Bentley Continental GT should've looked.
