^^ Nice. I spotted the beast in the usual spot, complete without front plate. Looks pretty understated, and non aggressive, in a good way.

Ha! Have you ever actually gone up to my dad and introduced yourself as yet another one of his son's idiot "car friends"?  :rofl2:

You need some nice logo-less license plate covers for that car.

Really nice ride.

I wouldn't mind a Continental...but have a feeling it would bankrupt me.

But hell ya...get your dad in that car. He need not make any apologies for enjoying it.

That car is so cool, yet understated at the same time. I hope your dad decides to rock it and enjoy every mile. Life is too short.

Of course I know why you use them (I read your site too BTW  ;)), but it struck me as out of place on THIS particular car...

It's like you go to a black tie party wearing your $5,000 Italian shoes, $10,000 custom-made suit and then you put on a cheap baseball hat with you your company logo on it.... Car looks awesome and exudes elegance as it was meant to....

If anything, it should say "Bentelay Industries"   :D

Bentelay Industries, Kel Varnsen speaking. May we help you?  :rofl2:

I love the looks of this car, especially the interior.

Wow, just seeing this.  Very classy car indeed!  The sedan version looks so much better than the coupe imo.  Assuming this is on the same chassis as the Continental GT Coupe?  Coupe has always looked a little awkward to my eyes.  The sedan looks perfect. Well done man!  :thumbup:

Wow, that's quite the car.

Seems you can get these for about $40k these days. Cheap (relatively) to get into but I'd be curious as to what the running costs are.

Yes sir! I agree, I prefer the LWB stance of the Spur.

You know what I don’t really understand, so this is part of the VAG group and competes with Rolls Royce and Maybach.  Both of which hold their values a lot better for whatever reason.  I doubt the others are that much more reliable or cheaper to maintain.  It’s strange to me.
