    Warning about soft close door system on Bentley Continental

    Thank you guys. We are really worried about small children on something like this. I tried carrots and all kinds of stuff and the door just closes on them chopping them in half. When our grandson is around the car we are extra careful. As some have stated here, our S Class Mercedes had the...

    Warning about soft close door system on Bentley Continental

    This is a warning to all owners of the Bentley Continental. The Bentley Continental features a “Soft Close” Power Latching Door System that engages the door just before it closes and uses powerful electric motors to pull the door shut and latch it automatically. This system does not appear to...

    Somewhat rare piece of memorabilia on eBay

    Depends on who is looking at the item and what they know about it. I have seen about 5-6 of these come up for sale in past 7 years. They sold anywhere from $200 to over $700. Once people figure out what they are, 10-20 years from now they will be over $1000 easy, if not sooner.

    Somewhat rare piece of memorabilia on eBay

    This is a nice piece of Ford GT memorabilia on eBay, not a common item either. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=181220793569&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en

    Mini John Cooper Works GP

    Saw one at the gas station last night. A woman in her mid-50's was driving it and another guy was exchanging phone numbers with her, smart guy. I'm going to drive it too.

    Mini John Cooper Works GP

    That's pretty much the consensus, and there is already tons of aftermarket stuff for them to boost that HP to the right levels. Just saw this video last night by Chris Harris about the FR-S, he freaking loves it and as usual gives the best car evaluations in the business. Nobody I've heard or...

    Mini John Cooper Works GP

    I've seen two for sale around the country, and they are holding their values and will go up. There is a whole big cult following around that car. Chris Harris along with several other EVO Magazine folks loved it and wanted to take it home to keep. The dynamics are supposed to be quite...

    Mini John Cooper Works GP

    Yep drove it last week, the Ford is great car, and I still haven't made up my mind what I am going to get, but I have decided to get something small to "drive" on the street in addtion to owning a "supercar". Other cars I have yet to drive are the Subaru BRZ, Scion FRS, BMW 1M, and a couple...

    Mini John Cooper Works GP

    I looked at the Focus ST and would prefer it, but the dynamics just aren't there by comparison. Having 5 doors a a few hundred pounds heavier puts it at a disadvantage. Fiesta ST would be interesting if souped up... I keep picturing a "Gulf Livery" Mini JCW with orange wheels and an...

    Mini John Cooper Works GP

    Wow, test drove the Mini John Cooper Works GP today. That thing is the most fun I've had in a car on the street in a long time. Sometimes I feel I've owned cars where 90% of the time I am thinking about the idea of what I have and driving it 10% of the time to its abilities if I'm lucky. Well...

    My new toy arrived yesterday!

    One of best colors is yellow on that car. Good call.

    Heritage Wheels, Orange with or without spinner?

    With, looks great! I really like that modern vintage take on the spinner thing that Ford did on the standard wheels.

    Aventador vs. F12 vs. Vanquish

    True, Henry isn't exciting to listen to when describing cars, but he is very knowledgeable and quite a capable driver. Still miss Chris Harris at EVO.

    Mystery bracket

    Yes, that is exactly what it is, and I took mine off years ago too, but now my almost 3 year old grandson wants to sit in the car and have me start it up every time he comes over, so I'm going to put it back in.

    Got new Penske shocks. Which springs to order ?

    I can't remember the exact changes we made, but we did take the car and had a new alignment done as it was off from installing the 3-way Penskes.
