  1. Mine has 64k on it, hard top, unique (slightly rarer) color combo and i'm all in at $12k and the best bit is that the previous owner spent 8k on it the year before bringing it into almost perfect mechanical condition bar the AC hoses which i just had to replace as they split. I absolutely love it.

    Few quick comments since someone asked: Car arrived last week, it’s a lovely place to be; extremely refined and unique compared to the dime a dozen Wraiths. Love the TQ, smell of the leather and the ability to waft along without a care in the world. The brakes are fantastic, it corners almost flat which is crazy for a car of its size and age and sounds nice with the turbo spool and understated exhaust. One thing I would like to do is get some spacers to bring the wheels out to the arches. Anyone know of a company that can do this and more importantly what effect this will have on the handling as they need to come out few couple of inches! May be better off leaving it as is. Overall very happy and enjoying it!
  3. Goyard - had mine 5 years super durable.
  4. I really don’t understand what the big deal is that he had a gofundme campaign for a holiday. People seem to do that on there and for other non charitable endevaours. Unless I’m missing something it seems VERY harsh to rip into him on this... Anyway the SVJ is cool but I’d be more than happy with the AV Roadster in S form. It’s a cleaner looking design IMO. Also, Nuvolari is still the biggest cunt in the online automotive world.
  5. Yes i got that but 2 clicks is far too time consuming Should be 1 and done.

    I wasn't going to get all nerdy but you're right - it is a very rare bird: It's one of fourteen RSE's built in 1998 but of Conti T Mulliners it's one of 23 and of the widebody Coupes, 1 of 189 to the US and 1 of 300 odd world wide. http://www.rrsilverspirit.com/models/1998C...entalTNARSE.htm Thanks everyone for the comments - arrives soon enough and will buy a flat cap and sheepskin coat to drive about in!

    I've been looking for a car i could enjoy taking out the Mrs in and Nipper should i need to and had strongly considered a Ferrari FF. I couldn't get past the pig ugly looks of the FF nor could I resist this when i saw it - stunning, aggressive - perfect cruiser to drive to dinner in, along the PCH and to Monterey next year! What is it? A 1998 Bentley Continental T Mulliner, 1 of 182 to the US and this car has had over $25k spent on it the last few years - completely rewired, wood refinished (all documented etc). To me this has some of the best lines on a coupe...ever. Arrives after a service in 10 days. The Chrome wheels are gash but the car has so much chrome on it that it matches and is OEM so will leave it for now. 650 pounds of TQ from 2200 RPM!
  9. I DD a Fiat 500e and have done 9000 miles in it since Feb 17' It has a $32 or 34k msrp but to lease it was as cheap as chips: It costs me $210 inc tax a month (which included all the protection packages). I got a $2500.00 cash back rebate from the state of CA. I get to use the carpool lane. I don't have to go to gas stations. Think about that for a second - a brand new car on a 3 yr 12k mile p/y lease that's costing me: $5k! It really has been an amazing DD - i have had nothing go wrong with it thus far (touch wood) and beat the living shit out of it without a care in the world. It is also very nippy around town with the instant tq and aside from extremely light steering it's a lot of fun to drive as it's so tiny with the tq. It has a fully charged range of approx 78 miles, which in the real world is about 60 when you're going at FWY speeds and using AC etc which is fine as my commute is 40 miles (up from being circa 15) round trip and if i ever need to go anywhere else i can take my charger with me to work and top it up. I wouldn't go back to a gas powered car for a daily...this just makes too much sense.
  10. Prick followed me in my Viper. I was really tempted to slam the brakes and let his skull crack on the rear wing but didn't want to get sued by the idiot.
  11. They are fcuking horrific on road. HORRIFIC.
  12. Sinfully ugly but hope you get on better with it on track Enjoy mate!
  13. Bingo - i got asked this week to put down $2500 for my taycan spot, haven't looked into the details yet but think i'll go for it.
  14. I love it - from the inside only. Wish i could get the Mrs. to like it as would save a load on gas...but no go. Amazing for ingress and egress with kids due to doors. I would love to have one...just not as my DD as it is sinfully ugly. Family friend has had one for a couple of years and they still love it. No way will your Mrs. go from a RR to that without a fight!
  15. It's up for sale as i want a manual murci: http://www.bjmotors.biz/vehicle-details/20...-tx-id-25130359
