Hi Guys,

I'm new to the forum, and I have a Mansory Bentley Continental GT. Only just got it and Im well chuffed, its the car I always wanted.
I know it makes some people react (jealousy is a cruel mistress!) but I think anyone "in the know" would agree its a tremendous car.
I'm trying to figure out how to post photos, I will do later as Im sure more than a few of you would love to see it.

Loking forward to good banter with like-minded car experts

Vroooooooom vrooom

Hi Rohrl. Lets be realistic, the only reason for not liking my car is envy. And anyway, value for money wise you cant complain but then not everyone understands that (i dont mean you).
Btw, Im not flash or anything, i didnt buy it to show off, in fact im a pretty low key kind of guy.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the replies, as a new member its cool to hook up though im not sure the mickey-taking is in order. I dont want to sound mean but this is what I mean by the reaction some people give me.

Ok, if its not envy then maybe you guys have million pound cars that are better than mine, good for you, i hope you enjoy them, but for most people a car like mine is a dream to drive. Its a real driver's car (not like some others i could mention) performance and possibly THE most stylish thing on 4 wheels.

Well, I dont understand what these references to popcorn and stuff mean, must be some kind of in-joke.

Listen, Im new to the forum, I didnt start on anyone, if you have a problem with my car (even if it isnt envy), thats your issue.

Ive only bought it recently, Im well proud of it so of course Im gonna mention it on a car forum.

If you cant take that then talk to the hand cos the face dont wanna know...

Ive no idea what all this custard and popcorn stuff means.

I dont have anything to prove to anyone, if you dont believe me (why would i lie?) then i couldnt give a monkeys.

Frankly Im a little disappointed, i cam eon here to talk about cars with other car lovers, not get involved in a playground spat (I sunk to your level earlier).

Frankly I have better things to do than go custard buying to join in twee games. I thought this was a car forum.

And yes, I mention my car in other threads because its the car I have. Maybe it isnt the done thing on this forum.

Anyway, lets get back to talking about cars please...

Ok, on reflection maybe mentioning the envy factor on my first post might give a bad impression(though Im sure im not the only owner of a car to think it happens), even so, some of the hostility has been most unnecessary.

I will put some photos up later when i download some to my pc and figure out how to do it.

So are you saying that having a high perceived-pricetag doesnt ever elicit a negative reaction?
Im sure my car might not be to everyones taste, thats ok, but im also equally sure that some people immediately dislike the car just because they think its expensive.

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.

Last time, it's not the car. It's your instantanious dismissal of everyone else as inferior to you due to the value/brand of their car. Get off your self important horse, post some pics up and you'll find everyone more accomodating.
I dont dismiss anyone as inferior to me.
I did point out that a couple of the people who took the mick, totally without provocation, drive minis and meganes. If they take the mick, don't be surprised if I respond - if they laugh at my car, why can't i laugh at theirs?


And yes, to the guy above who said I live in Alderley Edge, so what? Its a lovely village.
I grew up in Altrincham and moved here 6 years ago. True, it has gained a reputation for footballers but if you know the place then you will know that they are a tiny minority, the majority are hard-working professionals and self-made men with their families. There are houses that cost millions and houses that cost a fraction of that amount.

Well Mr Doofus, if you don't believe me (and why would i join a forum to lie about my car???) then why on earth are you wasting your time on my thread?
There are hundreds of other threads on the forum, go share your thoughts about cars on those and ignore me. I won't miss you.

MasonryBentley - Either post a post a picture of your car or fk off.

You reek of a troll, you sound like a tt and your attitude smacks of someone who gets fingered by the butler on a cold night.
Very aggresive for no reason! Sounds like someone's not getting any...

Just bored of trolls turning up pretending they have cars they dont.

You signed up here, slagged everyone else's choice of car off proclaiming yours is the best yet we have not seen any evidence of yours even existing.

Surely a person who spends every spare minute shoving their choice of car down other peoples throats must have photos to share?

So have you got any photos or just dreams when mummy turns the big light off at night?

As for me not getting any, you have no idea, but I'll have to decline your offer either way.
I never slagged off anyone's car and never said mine is the best. You, on the other hand, joined the thread just to hurl insults. Now who's the troll?
And surely if trolls are a regular occurence, the best thing to do is ignore them. Which is what I am going to do to you.

So what magic?

I didnt slag off the 911, I simply said I think mine is better. I'm not allowed to say that?
If you weren't so selective in quoting me, you might also have quoted me saying that the 911 is "great" and "ace".

Mansory Bentley FYI ... my son did the packaging design on the boot area of the car you have ... if you have any queries, please pm me and I'll pass them on
I'm not sure I understand what you are talking about but thanks for the kind offer. At least some people here are welcoming to new members!

I love Bentley's but the masonry design one doesn't really flow with the original lines. The Bentley is an amazing car with a lot of work gone into by craftsman, to add on a kit seems just wrong and I am sure w.o would agree.
But each to your own, what colour is it?
Mine is white.
I can see where you are coming from but actually that is what I like about mine: the combination/contrast of the traditional craftmanship with the sporty kit.
(and to the haters, that doesnt mean that I think mine is superior to any cars that don't (yawn))

Actually i admire contrast in many things, from the modern/colonial architecture of Santiago to fusion cuisine.

Is that your car in profile? Which masonry package did you go for? Did you get a remap too?
As I mentioned earlier, the picture on my profile is from google images, I will put pictures of my car up later (although Im half-tempted not to and see how wound up some people get!).

I looked at ECU remaps but decided against it.
In terms of the package, its mostly exterior work, new spoiler lip, side-skirts, front and rear apron, exhaust etc... . I didn't do too much to the interior.

(BTW, you keep writing masonry instead of mansory! Easy mistake, Ive done it myself more than once too!)

I think I can speak for my collegue here and say that I waste my time here because this thread is absolutely hilarious. Which is what the popcorn in the beginning was all about. Like any decent train wreck, you could see it coming miles away.

Of course, if you were to provide us with custard proof, that would be the ultimate in entertainment, just to see us all eat our humble pie. Same thing happened a couple of weeks ago, you would be surprised how soon the conversation turned civil and how soon people here admitted to their mistake.
And that didnt teach anyone anything? Interesting...
