Wow... I love my ...
 

Bentley Continental GT ... I've got 18 cars ... 8 of which are Porsches ... Two Ferraris ... A Maserati ... Four bikes including two Ducatis ... One InfoStrada 916 ... Lots of great stuff ... And I can't stop driving my GT coupe ... It's a wonderful daily driver ... I bought it impulsively at an auction for a little over $50k ... 07 w 47k on the clock ... 3x black ... I'm just surprised at how compelled by it I am ... It does everything well and it's very good looking ... Anybody else had some seat time in one ? Comments ...

P. O. I. D. H.

Sounds amazing! You're amazing!

Dude.....you have way too few posts here to start a thread like this without any pics for anyone to take you seriously. ......just saying lol

I am very happy with my 87 KIA Deluxe with 378k miles that burns a quart of oil every time I drive it. 0 to 60 has never happened.

Sounds like you are very proud of your Hot Wheels collection. Good for you.

Be sure to get to bed early since tomorrow is a school day and the bus arrives early.

71 pinto hatchback exploding gas tank model love it..

He has (2) posts in the classifieds--(1) is a nice-looking 951 with almost zero info, and the other is a Targa Carrera "tribute" lauding CHECK OUT ON EBAY.

There is a Bentley in the background of one of the photos, so.....:confused:

Yeah, I was going to drive my Bugatti Veyron to my Malibu house today, but it's so damned hot on the sand and the tourist are wormy in September. I decided to jump in my Gulfstream G650 and head up to my Aspen chalet and take the Ferrari CA Spyder for a spin through the mountains. I need to hurry though, because we sail the Christensen 155 to Avalon tonight for dinner with the Clooneys. Yeah, the Clooneys. That's the ticket.

it doesn't do everything well.


Then again I drove cvt sentra to work today, so who knows.

Wow - you guys are mean
 

Folks - I wasn't trying to brag - I'm not in High School, I'm 52 yrs old - I just bought a bentley continental GT and I love it ... And I'm selling a couple of cars In my collection to reconcile the cost ...and while I was posting a couple of the cars I'm selling on ebay to this site to garner more interest I thought I reach out to the community and see if others were as compelled by the W12 bentley as I am ... WFT ...why are you guys taking shots at me :(.

... I thought this was a car enthusiast forum ... Not a self help group ... I promise not to share anymore ...

This isn't bragging. :rolleyes:

philly - you may not have meant it, but your post came across the wrong way. While this is a Porsche forum, and Porsches can be expensive, not everyone here can afford a collection of 18 cars. Folks get rubbed the wrong way when they see a post like that, and it is easy to judge you as a pompous a$$.

It's like when you're a kid playing in a sandbox with a shovel and pail, and your rich neighbor shows up with a miniture motorized backhoe, and a butler in tow carrying his mean in a golden lunchbox, as he drives up to the playground in his 1/8th scale Ferrari Enzo. Wearing a custom tailored Gucchi suit. While his maid rolls out a red carpet from his playcar to said sandbox.

Just sayin'

Fail.

hahahha...

Phil, as a whole, this forum doesn't carry that level of wealth. Most of us own or started with one mid-year 3.0 or 3.2 car. To start a post like that did come off looking like a very insecure person bragging about their material possessions. …Or an exaggerator or possible scammer.

Did you expect us all to go WOW! Will you take me for a ride???? There are Bentley forums you know.

i seriously cannot even picture what a bentley GT even looks like. sounds like a nice car.

Edit: I decided to use better judgement and let Philly keep his privacy.

Guys - this is a cool car forum - not a socioeconomic forum - I'm in the hobby - I'm buy cars instead of stocks and bonds - they're more fun - that's it - and I'm excited about my latest addition - you guys should re read your replies and ask yourselves who has issues - I'm surprised at how fun the bentley is - I've got lots of fast cool cars and I didn't think a bentley would light me up - that's it - I'll post on forums where me having lots of cars interests others and doesn't hurt their little feelings - I shoulda posted in the GT3 section or something - moderator where are you ?

Okay - last reply - I have a barn where most of cars reside - I have a 80 911sc I love , I have a 72 mgb I love , the dang bentley is 8 years old and cost the same as a new 3 series bmw - what a bunch jerks ...

You started the thread with a post which ended with "comments.." and that is what you are receiving ...comments.

You have a low post count, aren't "known" on the forum--which isn't meant as a knock--everyone starts somewhere..but the content of your OP post was definitely bragging--intentional or not.

A simple edit of your original post could get your point across much better--something along the lines of " Anyone know W12 Bentleys? I recently scored a deal on one and love it. I was wondering if anyone else has any experiences-it is fantastic"

If you WERE looking for a wide eyed.. "WOW ..super awesome, be my best friend because of your incredible car collection" with your OP as Craig posted, this is the wrong forum for that type glad-handing.

If not and you are sincere, stick around, this is a great resource for knowledge about a VAST array of subjects--including Bentleys being used as tow rigs.

Ignore these guys; they're just jealous. So am I.

Lets see some pics so we call all enjoy. They don't need to be works of art, just any pics of your cars.

Hey, I'm in the area, would love to make your acquaintance.

I'm right here.

It's one thing to have a first post bragging about your cars - -but it's another to follow up by criticizing the regular forum members for their responses to an absurd first post.
And yes - you were bragging - otherwise you wouldn't have pointed out that you have a total of EIGHTEEN cars.
Edited - inappropriate - Z-man.

Chill out - ease up on your attitude, and be a little more humble in your approach here. It will go better. OR - if you just wanted to troll these forums, or wanted to play "Mine is bigger than yours" then mission accomplished.

Hey, lets go easy on the guy, sounds like a real car guy to me ...
Id lke to see some pics !!!!

How does your GT serve you when used as a tow vehicle??

Seriously, just post some pics of the cars or maybe the Mrs. on a roof or in the garden and you'll have your own fan club!!SmileWavy

PS: Why would someone with such an assortment of fine automobiles admit to owning a Porsche 944? A non-S / non-Turbo at that? And attempt to sell it for $20k ?

I own a tank with a flamethrower.

Bentley? please....

I have 14 cars......

Well, it MUST be a WELL-SET UP 944!

Is this what Bentleys have come to?

I was simply calling you out. ......
The simplest way to shut everyone up would be to post some pics......then you would probably reciever the "those are awesome" replies you were looking for........they probably are awesome, and is surely a cool collection. .....
But......this is the Internet, and the off topic forum to boot lol

I had a 69 MGB that I loved. Had 15 inch MGA wheels with XZXs. Found it on the side of a house, knocked on the door, woman begged me to take it away, a long ago stalled project of her sons. When the flatbed started towing it, left rear wheel was locked and was digging a ditch in her yard. We tried to free it up to no avail. When I asked her if it was ok to tow it out, she yelled, get it out of here, I don't care what it does to the yard.

My first barn find restoration, thank you Moss Motors. What a great little car that was. The doors closed with the 911 ring, never forget that.

On the Bentley, does it drive as heavy as it looks, and is? HP?

Wow that went sideways fast......

Great stuff, after all these years, PPOT never fails to deliver. You are probably genuinely a car guy who just got off to a bad start here... post some pics of your cars and lighten up a bit ;)

FWIW, you should see what I bought when I sold my 964

I don't mean to brag, but...
