Donal, you're wasting your breath,


Oh I don't know. He has stopped using
the phrase "Well regarded", which normally
appears in every post.


Bob can't understand the mystique of
a DB9 anymore that he could understand why you'd want to drive a '52
Bentley Mk VI.


Pure Beauty and Soul. What a georgeous car.


I was a passenger in one a few times some years ago. Some people brag
about "new car smell", being in this was more like being in a clean tack
room. Hand finished burled walnut....leather.... just beautiful inside
and out. I think top speed was about 95, but that was a bonus, you just
wanted the ride to last forever...


I am jealous. Were you in the hardtop or the opentop version?

Both look nice, but the opentop looks utterly magnificant!

I bet that Bob just thinks that they look old-fashioned.



Since I have owned MG-TD series cars I actually have some experience
in this area and with real classics. Of course they look "old
fashioned." That's the point.



Would I prefer to be a passenger in a Bently Mark VI or
the driver of an Evo? I know which I would choose.

Bob?




Choose for what? Cruising or hard driving? Hmmmm?
