Bentley 'Events'

[AB]

There doesn't seem to be an active community for these things, I'd quite like to go along and have a look at others...

I joined the Bentley Drivers Club which was the best part of £200 before being given access to the forums which are dead.



This invite came through which would have been fun if I was going this year. I had a couple of nice invites to various things happening at Goodwood from Bentley in Leeds but having already coughed up for hospitality on the Friday/Saturday I won't be spending the thick end of a grand to go in the Bentley hospitality, I don't see that as an 'invite'.

Loads of active BMW and Porsche clubs I am a part of but nothing on Bentley.

Did look at the membership list though and there's a few members within spitting distance of where I live but don't recognise any of their cars so either it's old info or they never drive them.

Maybe I'm just too young or the normal demographic is too old, maybe if there were events then it'd be like going for dinner with my grandparents.

Maybe I should stick to attending the Porsche and BMW stuff and just drive the Bentley to work and back. Shame, as I like getting stuck into stuff like that at the weekend and the kids would love it too. The youngest is car mad.

I think the Bentley ownership is evolving like Aston ownership has. I joined the AMOC 20 years ago but not wearing red trousers and being vulgar enough to drive the car made me unpopular.

You might be right, there's plenty of polo matches and picnics to attend if I wanted to but it's not really the sort of thing I'm after.

Hopefully Bentley goes the same way as Aston, seems a lot more out there.
