    I personally know someone who has a 612 and a Flying Spur. I drove that flying spur and I've driven a Ferrari, and I think they compliment each other well

    I have both a 2000 360 and a 2000 RR Silver Seraph. I need to take a picture of them together.

    I know a gentleman that drives a Phantom and a Maybach. He prefers the Phantom hands down. I've driven that Phantom as well. Incredible car, insane gas consuming power. I've driven a Bentley Continental as well. If any car can get you arrested, its this one. It is so fast and quiet, you have no concept how fast you are traveling. Incredible brakes as well. I stomped on them a couple of times and felt my brain move forward due to braking capability.

    regards

    Next time, could you try to make sure the driveway is a little cleaner before taking pictures?

    Thanks for sharing and love that brick work!

    Was looking at one, but bought the S600 instead.

    I have a hat, does that count?

    I like Bentley, would own one, but I'm more of a fan of the 7-series. I don't know why. Price, maybe.

    I love the Arnage!!!
    If I could justify one I would get one in a sec :)
    also, always found it funny how the stearing wheel looks just like the one in my 98 Dodge Ram lol

    I think that cars like the Arnage and Flying Spur are ment to be driven by their owners. Where as cars like the Maybach, Phantom, are supposed to be enjoyed by the owners in the back while some one else drives them to their important meeting. The Maybach 62s is in a class of its own but then again it cost's alot more then a Arnage.

    Bentley Arnage - $220k ish to start
    Maybach 62s - $426K to start

    It depends on whom you ask. I'm a bit of a purist so I wasn't a big fan of RR/Bentley being bought by BMW but I also like good electronics, switches and stuff, so I appreciate all the BMW AC controls in conjucntion with the English style dash guages, and I especially like the BMW V-12 and transmission in my car. It really makes for a wonderful combination.

    bentleys are meant to be driven, rolls royces are meant to be ridden in. however, driving a rolls is seriously like floating on air, it's amazing.

    I disagree. I think Rolls are meant to be driven as well. That's why I'd like to pick up a late 60's Corniche convertible and restore it, so I can drive it for fun. I'm thinking seychelles blue with biscuit interior.

    AMEN. This is my number one issue with this car and it has kept me at bay. Everytime I get close to buying one, I immediately talk myself out of it for this very reason.... There are alot of trashy celebs and low-life athletes that drive these things for the sole purpose of flashing their car keys around. The brand is definitely not as well regarded as it was pre mid 90s. I saw a mini documentary on the Silver cloud (my favorite RR) that seemed to have told the same story about brand image, but 60 years ago.

    They're very tempting at the price-point, good looking cars, and you can get the tax deduction on them due to the gross weight.

    Own a '12 Mulsanne as well as the '04 360 Spider. Love both and each has its specific task. The Mulsanne is for road trips and evenings out on the town, while the Ferrari cessiates the primal need for flight........at the ground level.
