I can confirm, that the F12 is one of the best looking, modern "supercars" on the road today. I have seen one, and after initially hating it at Geneva or Paris, or wherever it was revealed last year, seeing one in person, completely changed my opinion of the car.
I started out disliking the F12 but having seen the Ferrari 'the Ferrari' last week I like it a lot more. Pothole said:

why not extend the same courtesy to Bentley Motors?
Why not give this matter a rest? It's getting a tad boring now.
WE UNDERSTAND! You don't need to make the point every single time!
So about a month or so ago I posted in this thread a relatively bad shot of an FSO Polonez "Caro" GLD, of which three appear to remain on UK roads.
Today I managed to obtain a better shot, however, something which I failed to notice at the time but appears to be visible in the photo is that the FSO has sustained some rear end damage!
Like all car enthusiasts I would be heartbroken to see another classic FSO drop off the road, I'll go hunting for it tomorrow to see if this is curtains.

There's a few out there who go to extreme lengths to keep/get FSOs on the road. Providing they hear about it before it's too late, it will survive.Justices said:
Not sure whether to be gutted or thankful I couldn't get a shot of this in time of this rarity.
Black Mercedes S-Class with violet vinyl wrap on the side panels, in an attempt at imitating a Maybach I assume. On top of that, the model S350/S500 lettering on the back had been replaced with "MR TURTLE". Given the cost of these things here, you have to wonder why..
Pic coming out sideways for some reason.

Not quite how you expect to find a DBS in Swindon
The girl who did it says she just "clipped a kerb". To clip a kerb on the roundabout it occurred on, you have to be doing something monumentally stupid as it's a painted roundabout with little in the way of obstacles if driving normally, and the petrol station isn't directly in line with the roundabout anyway, so to end up where she did would have been quite spectacular to watch.

my Dad saw something similar recently. Middle-aged woman in a beat-up old people carrier at a petrol station, crashed into a stationary new Porsche 911. Guy jumps out to cries of "i've only had it a week!!" and gets the "my foot slipped" and "it's only a car" treatment... oh OK then never mind. He should be legally able to take a baseball bat to her face i think. The girl who did it says she just "clipped a kerb".

Really? Looks a badly chavved version to me. I can see nothing that looks as though an owner added the contents of the Irmscher accessories brochure.
I have just been told that the girl that was driving, was the same girl that did THIS: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1315554/Na... to her cat.Words now fail me.
