Amazing Car!

Post by Pun »

So, I'm sitting in my office at the car wash today. One of my guys comes in and tells me there's a Bentley GT coupe rollin' thru. So, as always when sonething nice rolls thru, I grab the cam and go take a few shots. It turns out that it's owned by this doctor that comes through all the time in various exotic cars. We chat for a bit about the car. He says, so you want to drive it? I'm like "sure!" I must say, I didn't get it out on the highway or anything, but this guy kept telling me to punch it. He's like dont worry, I have a radar jammer in here. So here we are just whippin this thing through town, me behind the wheel. This was by far the most amazing car I've ever driven.

I thought you guys would enjoy a few pics of this beauty:

That's one gorgeous car. I'm amazed that he takes through a car wash.

Putting your car through my hybrid tunnel is the best thing you can do for it. You can do far more damage handwashing than my wash can do. Touchless washes are a big thing these days, but what they dont tell you is the extremely hot water and super harsh chemicals strip your wax job and accelerate the oxidation of your car's paint. Also, even the best touch free washes dont get all the dirt off your car, so the wash attendants end up rubbing the dirt into your paint job. A well maintained friction wash is the best way to wash any car.

But yeah, you're looking at $160,000 in rollin stock right there. Next time I'll get some interior shots. The interior is freakin' amazing.

I am admittedly not a car guy and I'm not up on the latest car wash technology; but I always thought that a gentle handwash with a mild car wash detergent was the best way to go.

Yeah, get some interior pics. What the heck is wrong with you :wink:

So for letting you drive the car does the owner get a free car wash? :wink:

<--- handwashes his car with only bottled thigh sweat from Belgian virgins (and you know how hard those are to come by :oops:), and gently dried and polished with six pairs of Sailor Moon panties (only worn once) from Japanese schoolgirls. You dirty, dirty car! ;)

Back on topic, thazza verra nice Bentley, although I'm partial to the Aston Martin Vantage.

Man that's a nice car. I saw one just like it about a week ago coming out of downtown vancouver. Same model.

I've also seen a few Gallardos and F50's rolling around.

Heh, the guy was back again yesterday washing his "beater". A 2004 Benz S500.

Carter, I'm picking up the boat from the upholsterer today. Gimme a call!

Yeah - the Bentley is hot.

W-12 motor - two side-by-side V6's bolted together.

Same price as Lamborghini Gallardo - except MUCH quieter, much more luxurious and arguably, far more desirable. MMMMMM. :D

Given that he can afford not one, but several, exotic cars (what is he, a plastic surgeon or something?) maybe he's not overly concerned what happens to them ;)

He's Cheif of Oncology at a nearby hospital and he also owns a clinic.

Oh and he cares about what happens to them. All his cars are immaculate.
