I was up in Boston this past weekend visiting some family and I was drooling over this car as soon as I saw it (which belongs to an extremely wealthy guy who married into the family). He was nice enough (or crazy enough) to let me take it for a spin.

It's a Continental GT with a 6-litre, 12 cylinder twin-turbo monster under the hood. I don't know what modifications, if any, that he might have made to the car but I believe this model is somewhere around 550hp/480tq in stock form. I don't know much about Bentley's so maybe somebody can correct me on the numbers.

I think I almost wet myself driving this thing. Hearing the turbos whistling is weird cause you wouldn't expect it from a luxury car, and the interior is so nice that I was afraid to breath inside it. Anyway I realized that if I sold my house, lightning, and mustang I probably still couldn't afford one haha! Oh well just wanted to share cause I'll probably never get to drive a car like this again.

Good for you dude! That must have been a blast!

I got to drive my uncle's 360 Cyhalenge Stradale once and it was unreal. I was happy for like a week afterwards. I bet you are till smiling.

You barely fit in that thing dude!

Might wanna change the date on yer camera. . .

The car is a lot smaller on the inside than it looks. I'm 6'1" and I felt like a sardine. Sorry about the dates. I got a new camera and didn't bother changing it.

It would be fun to drive but that has got to be one of the most ugly cars I have ever seen.

What's the price tag on one of those??

Yeah they are around $160k.

True, it ain't the best looking car I've ever seen, but I love the sleeper luxury car look. If I had never seen one before, I would not even dream they are that fast.

Well, since he ain't blood related, I probably wouldn't even get a pack of smokes if I asked. :-D

I'll just go rob some banks like everybody else.... and use the Bentley as my getaway vehicle :lol: :lol:
