    She signed with Lou Pearlman. Do you know where he is right now? She never got a million, there's no way. Lou is the biggest sleeze on the planet, trust me.

    She might have got a decent advance when she signed with Storch, but I'd be willing to bet her dad paid most of that back due to her lack of record sales/etc.

    She's a horrible f'n singer, almost as bad as Lindsey Lohan.

    I love that Bentley. Maybe not in yellow but this is the best Bentley there is. Much better than the CGT which has as much class and presence as Pamela Anderson.

    I think this particular Yellow example was built to commemorate the return to Le Mans ??

    I've seen a bright yellow Continental before with my own eyes - it was parked on the street in Manchester and was owned by a reasonably well know businessman. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it is the one in the post above with the sponsors livery on it (as that one is a UK car and is roughly the right age, also the article below mentions it having black leather interior with yellow piping), however I can't be sure as at the time I saw it, it had a different number plate that spelt the owner's name on it.

    The owner was a successful businessman who IIRC at the time he got it was in his early 20s. Here is an interview with the guy talking about the car - he says that he likes the headroom as he can fit in it easily whilst wearing a turban: http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/driving/article817575.ece


    Edit: There are a couple more articles mentioning the car I saw here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reuben_Singh see the trivia section for mention of the Bentley (although obviously the comment that it 'is the only banana yellow Bentley Continental in the world' is now outdated.
    Another article here mentioning the same guy and his yellow Bentley: http://www.managementtoday.co.uk/search/article/407908/the-andrew-davidson-interview-magazine-journalist-year-reuben-singh-created-wildly-successful-chain-girly-shops-before-taking-a-levels-became-uks-youngest-self-made-millionaire-and-was-taken-tony-blair-when-just-22-no/

    By looking at the front fender vents and front facia, I was thinking Le Mans edition as well, not the Final Series. But then, I'm no (official or unofficial) EXPERT...

    Dude, your name is BANANA. You better like yellow. I like it, yellow and black go well together, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

    I like the car, as I have seen a lot worse colors especially that dark gray or beige/cashmere. Yellow is unique and makes the car pop. I do not like the yellow CGT though.

    Its actually just a regular Cont. T. Vin 67224

    Paris Car Show, 2000

    It was delivered to a customer in the UK and designed by BMI.



    So, VK, might want to watch your tongue there. Your assumptions are all incorrect.

    Whilst I have no idea about serial numbers, etc, I don't believe that the car pictured in the first post of the thread is a 2000 model - the headlights and front bumper aren't congruent with a year 2000 car. I believe that the car to which you refer is the bottom one pictured in post 30 by Peterps - a GB 'W' registration plate would be issued to a car registered between 1st March 2000 and 30th August 2000. As stated in my previous post(quoted below), I believe this to be the car that was originally supplied to Reuben Singh although I doubt he still owns it as it used to have the personlised number plate S1NGH and also I would imagine Singh had to sell the car when he ran into business and financial troubles a couple of years ago (this is pure speculation - I may be putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5), however I am sure the car in post 1 is not a year 2000 car.

    My father is an accountant, and my sister is a midwife, and my uncle is an electrician. So if any of you guys need you taxes done, or help with wiring in your house, or if you need a baby delivered, I am the resident expert on those things. Me. Right here (arms raised above head with fingers pointing down towards me).

    For the most part, yes. correct, it looks nothing like a MY 2000 car. But it is. It was the Paris Auto show car that was updated to later style bumpers and sills from the facotry and then later delivered to a customer. Here is a screen shot from the build sheet.
