The flying spurs look so nice! much better then the continental's. they just look like oversised TT's. The flying spurs look like a luxury car, a real gorgeous body, more space to appreciate the craftsmanship -They are huge.


theres a house up the road from mine, i think the owners are importer/exporters or somthing i heard say a few years ago. In the garage at any given time there is atleast 1 bentley continental, Or 1 bentley arnage R. a Lexus landcrusier, a merc CL430 or somthing a honda S2000 and a few other different cars. They also have 2 permanent gardeners and award winning doves lol

Black Mondeo WAGON out the front of Product Engineering, with Left Hand Drive Evaluation Vehicle stickered on the back. Good chance it was the actual show car from the Melbourne Motorshow.
