Tomorrow im going to 99% do a deal for a Bentley GT.

Despite the dire road leading to my house iv wanted one of these since my business partner got his.

First time i been excited about a car in years.

I will take a few of my famous quality pics from the phone tomorrow.

I just got this niggling doubt that im being stupid, as it will mean buying a cheap 4x4 to do my towing, but the Bentley is cheap enough that i can get a year out of it without taking a hit on depreciation, so if my road really is killing it i can jog it on.

A Cayenne and a Conti GT. Lovely :p

It's not really my cup of tea, but I wouldn't say no ;)

Cayenne got to go i cant have that much wasting away in cars.

So now i need a cheap Range Rover to tow the horse box.
 
The price is what has swung me, and i know the car has been pampered, i dont think its seen rain from day 1.

They drive fantastic, admittedly not quite the waft of older Bentley but all you can really hear is tyre roar.

The state of my road is the only bugbear, i know that the 1st time im in a rush i will bottom it out, i really will have to be careful, that road ****ed my 997, thats why iv had 4x4 for years now.
 
150K to sort the road and only 3 of us out of the 7 houses on it wanted to go for it, so sod that.

I would have chipped in, it kills me because 3 of the 4 people that wont go for it are absolutely caked, not just well off, i mean cako brynos.

Amazing some people.
 
Its a 2007 56 plate, silver with cream and black dash top, no chrome alloys, light wood. Its got the smooth leather, not the diamond stitched.

20K miles

I wont say how much till tomorrow once iv done the deal but it is cheap :)

I'm pretty sure the awd drivetrain is A8, as is the suspension. I thought the W12 was lifted from the A8 originally and given to the Phaeton, then to Bentley.

I like the idea of Diamondmark driving around in a underpinned posh A8 ;)

Sounds nice, diamond leather is ugly and the colour combo inside sounds good.

Yea i knew you would mention the VW/Audi connection ;)

But im not alone in my perception of Audi, read the A7 thread.

Sorry chaps, don't like the Bento, never have. Go well mind, been in a couple now but not driven one and they are quite nice inside but I just don't like their look and image, which is probably down to a total eejit I once had the misfortune to do business with owning one. Every time I see one I think of said eejit and get annoyed. I'm getting annoyed now!

Probably the mate of mine im buying it off, he has managed to single handedly **** a business you cant **** up.
 
Sod that im 44 its depressing.

Im going to just have 1 birthday every 2 years from now though
 
There aint a stain on earth a good thick towel on the seat cant tackle.
 
I wont be put off by trivialities !

2 hours till i set off to do the dirty deed, its with a dealer that had it sale it or return, well times run out for the dealer, i cant ****ing wait :)
