Bentley forum?

All:

Can you recommend a good Bentley forum? Friend of mine is looking at a '93 Turbo R. Lovely car, but he's trying to find out if there's a good network of web help out there before buying.

Thanks in advance.

Paul.

Have you tried going to google and typing "bentley forum"?

Rolls-Royce and Bentley

The Bentley Drivers Club website

I'm betting that Les did the same thing I did.

I'm guessing that most Bentley folks are not DIYers. They are probably also not likely to be surfing the web unless it's to figure out what wine goes best with Grey Poupon.

All:

Thanks! My friend & I both did a Google search- but I figured I'd ask here because if you like this place, you're going to know if another forum is worth looking at or not!

Thanks again,

Paul.

Yeah, just pokin' fun.

When I have questions that I don't know the answer to, my first thought is usually to ask here. There is so much diversity and so many smart folks that almost anything can and will be answered intelligently (unless you're asking about a Bentley forum)

His best bet is joining the Rolls-Royce Owners Club, which has a pretty solid forum for all generations of Rolls-Royces and Bentleys.

Or

"What Cams are you guys running"

"Got a problem with understeer at the AutoX, shocks or sways?"

"I want a free flowing exhaust with real BARK!"

"Drilled my airbox, where's the extra power?"

Yeah, those would be hilarious.

Actually, judging from looking at the site I posted, one might be pleasantly surprised.
After all, it is the Rolls Royce Owners club, but the Bentley Drivers Club.

There were threads in there about wrenching.
