Anybody want to drive my Bentley to Europe?

Hmm fair enough nobody wants a free Bentley for the weekend. I guess I'll just have it transported on a flatbed instead. This is a genuine post for someone who is already planning a journey to that region.

Thanks anyway.

Tricky bit is getting home again and so whilst it might be a bit of fun to tool around in Bentayga for a couple of days, it’ll still cost someone some pennies to do it.

I don't see a problem; presumably the OP would run me back home and then drive back again. Simples.

Even if this was genuine, it's not a 'free Bentley for the weekend'. It's a 'drive my Bentley several hundred miles from home and then get out'.

I'd do it (middle aged responsible driver who has driven a lot in France and go for work (Paris, Grenoble, etc) - but I can't see how I'd clear border control.

Perhaps a silly question but do you not have family or friends who could help?

Is the boot full of "talcum powder"?

It’s a nice road trip in a great car for the cost of a cab ride and a return ticket on Ryanair.

I would.

Go on then.

I'd love to, but would need to go via Nurburgring.

Call me cynical but looking at the OP’s lack of posting history my TrollDetector is beeping like Road Runner.

From 1.5dci Nissan NV200 to Seat to Bentley... kudos to the OP in 4 years.

I will, can I give your Patak Philippe some "wrist time" on the drive too?

Ooh, spicy!

A Bentayga is a bit on top. Family car, roof box and bike hitch is bit more under the radar.

OP does seem to be rolling heavy now. Or he's the below.

[Jasandjules]

I would do it, but sadly those things are too ugly to want to drive it..... Sorry....

Pretty self-explanatory.

If anyone is heading down that way then I need my Bentley Bentayga W12 driven down to the Alps over the next few weeks.
You can drive it around for a few days, enjoy the car before handing it over to me.

Win-win situation for us both.
I get my car transported, and you get a free Bentayga for a couple of days.

What’s the destination? I might be happy to do it for you dependent on timing and where it’s going, I’ve plenty of leave built up and family in Antibes that it’d be nice to see. I’m also overdue my annual shenanigans in Monaco.

If anyone wants to do a tip run in my 10 year old Lexus next week, let me know.

Have you got anything else that needs delivering other than a Bentayga?

Some rare white.......urm.......chalk bricks, yeah, chalk bricks.

Didn't want the usual red or grey for the new BBQ build, so got some chalky white ones made up. Only 30 kilos so still loads of room for luggage in the Bentley.

Just a drop off? Make my own way home after getting to the tip? I could do Thursday if it helps. Does it include BFH?
