mr2

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

:shock: I blame reality TV. Give money to people with no taste and they buy fancy homes with electric gates as well as vulgarities like that to park in front of them. Hanging's too good, etc. :lol:

Sadly, there's a similarly shavery Bentley down in Newcastle, it's a coupé shaped thing and is mostly Magnolia but with bright green wheels and red accents oh, and it has roundels on the doors with numbers in them. :lol:
I would have stopped for a picture but the guy getting into the car was huge, dripping with gold and dressed in a manner that suggested he'd not been told that the 90s were finished (think shell suit, Kappas, ski goggles and a fez).

Actually, I wonder; will we find it on Street View? (Osborne Avenue, face left, left in the next junction and the Bentley's location is to the left just before the next crossroads)..

Nome. Bother! The Esso station shewn in SV was demolished two years ago and the £265,000 upper flat around the corner is still on with the same estate agency, only now it's at £199,950. Tut tut Google, up to date photos of tastelessly presented luxury motors please, or your IQ's going in the river again. :x

Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

I don't think you could call any of those "UK Spec".
If you want to see some "French spec" cars google "barryboys French shed lottery"
