Bentley Recall

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet - came as a shock to me I can tell you. Makes you wonder if our health and safety jobsworth society has completely lost its marbles. tbh I'd be quite happy if the Flying B was araldited into position - if some tattoed chav wants to get impaled on it at least I won' have to clean their immense amount of lard off the windscreen as well.

Anyway, apparently I have to drop it into the dealer next week and the best they can do me for the day is a Carrera. So if you spot me, no I am not having a mid life crisis, just waiting for the Bee to be returned - safe, sound and with a little cushion for the proles no doubt.

There is of course a serious message behind this post. Dammed if I can find it at the moment.

    Only poor people walk along streets. I dont see the problem myself. I say they should mount a chuffing great spear on the top you can fire at chavs for a laugh.

    Well I was going to wait until they dropped to 3.5X the average wage.

    But think I may have to go for something else now.

    No they double in value every 5 minutes. Buy them now while interest rates are low.

    Ah the Bentley. Here in south London they are the dodgy chav's choice of transport. Lots of gangster, tattood types driving 'em. I'm told the new image they have is driving their marketing peeps mad. It appears that Bentley is the new Burberry.
  • There IS a serious issue here, if people get caught on the B it could block your view. That could be inconvenient, one wouldn't want to miss the turning in to the golf club because of some damn working class chappie dangling from your B !

    I think you may be thinking of the similar styled 300C Chrysler.

    No, definitely the two door coupe is what I am referring to. I don't know what the model is called. But is has got to be in black. I don't think they manage to sell any other colour.

    That 300C is a good immitaation though, especially when you see it driving in a forward on direction.
