Oct 10 - Bentley Continental Flying Spur indepth
Here is a weird update, actually one of the less beloved cars in the last years  and yet, one of the more expensive I indepthized so far, or driven for that matter.
Not on par with a Murcielago maybe, but much more impressive in some ways!
I'll post my review asap in the proper section, prolly tomorrow, but for now, let's try to enjoy the pics.. under some angles it ain't so bad IMO, and anyway when offered to take such behemoth for a drive, it was hard to refuse
Sadly I just had some 30 min before light went down the drain, so not many pics and not really brillant locations...
Click any preview to be taken to the full 19 high-res pics update

When I hear the name Bently, this is the sort of car i imagine.
Super-saloon, I might look very attractive but it just got that 'wow'-factor.

Oh well, I can pretty much say this is the car in which I performed the fastest acceleration if not the quickest top speed.. with somebody else's Lambo or Ferrari honestly you don't dare to hammer it from a standing start, so you tend, if not to short shift, to at least avoid full boost launches.. with the FS you just wait for the green light to come and you floor it, to be propelled to amazing speeds with no effort.. not even funny, but fucking impressive and for sure on the highway you can leave in the dust pretty much anything else out there

Not a huge fan of the car, but it has its purpose and does it well!
This photo is my favourite:

^ I think the car looks great in that angle too.. It hides the enourmous size of the car..
Would be a great car to take the family acccross country

you once told me about this one... now since you're in TI it was a matter of time to see a review of this beatiful car, me likes a lot 
The FS in a dark color (darkblue or black) looks amazing, a nice combination of british understatement without the grandpa-touch of a Arnage or so.
The performance speeks for itself.
Thanks for the pics TT !

WOW, I am quite surprised to see afterall the FS went pretty well under the skin of most ppl now that we are pretty much used to it. Phew, I thought nobody would care to open the topic
Actually IMO the wheels he has on his one are not the best choice and just that detail can make huge difference.
BTW, for the fact freaks, this was the first FS in Ticino, ence one of the first delivered to Switzerland.
Sadly this uncle despite the fact he could, doesn't like to buy new cars that often.. he kept his old 7 series up to some 200'000+ km (still uses it, the Bent is very rarely used) and I bet the FS will stay in the family forever.. so the next indepth he could bring me will be when I'll celebrate my 50th birthday :roll: but could be worst
