After a few months of looking i have finally picked up my beast today. Silver grey (best colour) totally standard and only 27,500 miles on the clock. Collected it at 12.oo and only just stopped driving it now! What a machine. That noise blows me away. Sport button on full speed gear change dsc off and wow! Got the back end out loads on the country lanes and its so easy to control. Had a V6 clio before so anythings probably an improvement from the way that snapped out of line! Can see me spending a fortune in petrol at this rate ! :smokin:

It's always good when eople post about picking up. I remember when I did I was saying to my friend bet we dont see another as we pulled up at traffic lights and...you guessed it, another one on other side of lights!

Thanks for the comments. I knew i was going to love this car but its still exceeded my expectations. Took my Dad out in it (whos 61 now) and he was scared to death before i had even put it in sport mode!! Once i pressed that then he really was terrified. Let him have a drive and i think he was smiling more than me afterwards. He said he preferred it to a ferrari 355 he once had ! :supz:

Have looked a two Bentleys and if the last one i looked at was how he described it i would have bought it. Very anoying to travel and find it is nothing like it has been described. At the moment i am driving a Smart Car till i find the car i want. Its a bit of a change fom the CSL :thumbs:

Yeah im hopefully doing the track day at Oulton on April 4th if ive got enough cash left :banghead:. Theres another guy booked for that day in a csl is that you radders?

Justin, that is a step down from a csl !! Will be worth the wait tho when you eventually find the right one. As i found the longer you wait for it the more you appreciate it when it arrives;)
