serious back pedal

[f430hunter]

Guys i will not try and hide my feelings that i have made clear in recent years to the difference between the v8 and w12 gt continental models,i have always felt the w12 is way ahead of the v8 in every dept but after driving a very nicely specced v8S yesterday with the optional sports exhaust hell iam going to have to say what a car the v8s is,its extremely agile and fun in abundance.Something tells me it wont be long before i get a v8s will keep you posted,might save a little on fuel as well ha ha.

cheers simon

thx for compliments,its a moonbeam silver v8s with beluga interior all stitching in hotspur red,piano black trim with full black package mulliner kit which includes all sorts such as different roof lining,21" special wheels,red calipers,massage seats and heated/cooled,sports exhaust etc etc,love the car and the deal that bentley weybridge did i honestly could not say no including 2 years free servicing.


happy easter everyone

[f430hunter]

totally agree silence is golden or in this case moonbeam silver ha ha

[f430hunter]

thx jim,must say im very happy,ok the v8 has not got that unreal amount of torque like the speed but its very driver freindly and chuckable,yes fuel economy is much better than speed allready noticed that.Very impressed with paintwork compared to my previous gt's as they were bespoke colours and sprayed in uk compared to the moonbeam which is german sprayed and have not found a blemish.


cheers simon

jim your half right he he,its the body thats sprayed in germany and then shipped to crewe for assembly so all bentleys still put together in uk but the mainstream colours all have there bodies sprayed in germany and a lovely finish it is ha ha.


cheers guys

im embarresed to say since buying the v8s ive not had chance to use it much untill weekend just gone as it was my birthday weekend and we spent it in windsor but decided to give my arnage a run as it had been in storage for 7 monthes.My goodness its a thirsty monster he he and wished i had taken the v8s not really but after having to use a map to get to desborough from windsor as the arnage sat nav was giving me a headache my wife said told you should of brought the other one.But will be using it in a few weeks time to go to a breakfast meeting at wilton house so will give update then.So glad your enjoying the speed and some of these detailers are superb and well worth having done once a year.

cheers simon
