Someone sum up the last 15 pages.
Someone starts thread claiming to have a Mansory CGT.
Fifteen pages of show us the pics etc and no response.

Likelihood is car is actually called a Masonry GCT made of b(ol)locks.

Looking on their website, there are actually some goods modifications to the Bentley, they do make it look sporty, and some of the alloys don't look half bad.

What cars you had before, have you had a look at the Gulzer thread, you would probably get along.
It depends on what you are looking for. I can understand people thinking like you said earlier, that the sporty design doesnt go with the image but I think there are some great options available. You can modify it a little or go the whole hog. Plus, I think its always nice to make it individual. Though I've seen some pictures that have gone too far (for my liking).

I'm 37 so I've been through a fair few cars, starting with a 950cc fiesta. I had a saab 900 that is still probably my favourite (it was stolen), and I loved my old M3.

I don't even know what a Gulzer is so I'll check it out!
Hang on a minute. I'm 37. I grew up in Altrincham. I have an old M3. Are you me from the near future?
I'm 34, grew up in Altrincham and don't have an M3. When will I be picking it up? Can it be an e30 in full Jagermeister livery please?

I'm genuinely shocked that only one person called troll on the first page. OP's second or third post confirmed it, surely.

Standards slipping, PH brethren.

I think we were all so enraged that someone dare log in to PH and suggest that because someone doesn't like their car that "hater" must be jealous or envious. I think such posts should be left in the domain of MaxPower. Or the Beano forum.

Indeed it is a rare occurrence - I think I've seen it used three times as a reason for disliking a vehicle on this website in the time I've been here.

That's why I put up my first post on page one.

The envy (OP wrongly said jealousy) angle is bizarre. This is a website with members who own cars ranging in price from less than £100 to over £1,000,000. Is it reasonable to put down any criticism of any car more valuable than one's own as envy? Of course not. As a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast I covet all sorts of cars and disdain all kinds of others. Their monetary value honestly has nothing to do with it. Just as a fr'instance I'd love a Bugatti 35B and a Mk3 Cortina while I have no desire for either a Porsche Cayenne Turbo or an Allegro.

Use of the word hater allows me to easily identify a tt on the internet. As far as I can see it's used by idiots who either can't or won't engage in a proper discussion and prefer to dismiss different opinions as hatred. Thankfully it seems to be more of an American thing, see angry man Frank Profera/Ronin's PH appearances for details.

Seems reasonable that a newish poster talking about a relatively rare car ( not my particular cup of yes, but takes all kinds) would post a pic. Certainly there are a few people who might envy the OP, but the real issue is credibility. Will the OP join the PH Hall of fame with Lambo owner and Auntie, or does he actually have the car?. All of the doubts will vanish in a nanosecond if there is a simple posting of some pics.

So, OP, if you ,in your own good time can post some pics of your car just like the majority of people do here, the thread can move on to substantive discussions.

OP - The way to introduce a new car can be seen on the 'the other 1m' thread.

Photo's & a full description of the car along with what is planned for the car in the future. None of the 'my car is better than yours, you are jealous' ste that you wrote.

Hence the guy will not get any negativity because he has backed up his posting with photo's & he doesnt have the stty attitude that you adopted almost from the start.

End of!!!!

You'll have to wait a couple of years. It is an E30 - now I've decided not to sell it and get a Mansory Continental GT when I win the lottery, you can paint it whatever colour you like.

I worked hard for a long time and fortunately I came in to a little bit extra unexpectedly so I got my dream car. Im not going to apologise for that.
Maybe i should stick to the rolls royce/bentley forums where I will find like-minded folk.

No i doubt they like everyone on here wants a total wan*er wasting there time.

My guess is 14 year old with no friends and girls just laugh at him or maybe an adult with basically the same issues. As he thinks he is such a great person and really cool he can't understand or except why absolutely everyone he has ever come across including his own relatives think he is a joke and a complete to**er!!!!! - Believe me,them and everyone on here they are right,you are a complete k*ob and probably passed the point of any help.

I have never heard custard being called, and i can't believe it was called on a driver too, lol.

Funny banter indeed.
