Thinking of selling my Phantom for a Bentley GT

I should have looked at your profile and saw that you do understand "squids." I also have muchas pistolas.

 

Me, too, Zack. To be honest, the attention is my least favorite aspect of Ferrari ownership. I would never ask for a celebrity's photograph and just generally respect others' personal spaces. There are times when I simply want to enjoy the car and the drive by myself or with family or close friends.

I'll have to remember the line about it being my brother's car. Nice.

Ping, good luck with your decision. I don't know much about the Phantom. Have you considered a 612 if the GT's back seat is adequate? It's a more involving driver's car than the GT, IMHO.

Raptorduck, "Muchas pistolas" here, too: Glocks, Kahrs, Seecamps, ... But that's another thread in some other FC section.

 

Hey, I am a biker (and cognizant of squid mentality and my own limitations) too! Mostly Kawi sportbikes, though I have dabbled with Ducks. And I love muchos pistolas of all kinds...though these days I am mostly on the wrong end as we are doing stick, knife and gun defenses in my krav maga training.

People ask me how come I have all these "cool" interests, and my answer is "Don't all guys have the same interests?" Guess not??! Glad to meet like-minded people on here!

+1. Must be fun to hog hunt in Texas with that beautiful piece. I grew up in DFW, Austin, and Houston.

If you want less-visible, the Flying Spur is even less conspicuous than a GT.

Most low key $175,000 car would probably be the AMG S-class or CL variants in a white or silver.

Or, a Bristol Blenheim. http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2005/01/bristol-blenheim/

No. It is one of his best instructors. I was a student of Keith's before I became one of his instructors.

 

I won't highjack this thread with the Second Amendment, but I have mostly pistols (Kimber, Ruger, Berretta, S&W etc), although I do have the usual long guns (AR15, Mossberg 500, 308 sniper etc). I am most partial to 9mm, though I also have 45, 357 etc.

Yes, in Cali, in order to go to the range, I have to call the Governor and ask for a special session of the state assembly to get a one day license to take my gun out of my house, then bring my action open weapon under police escort, drop it off with a guard at the range, go back and get my ammo with the same escort, take one shot at the range, then turn it over to the police for safe keeping for the rest of my life.

 

Mine was Burnt Oak inside and out (doesn't show well in pic).
A bit quicker off the line and at speed and much,much better and longer lasting brakes (optional CCBs).
I put about 20k miles a year and destroyed my rotors ('07 GT) in barely 12k miles(lots of hard braking from high speeds).
Better throttle response (not as lazy as GT which drove me nuts),felt more nimble and less ponderous then the old car.

 

How does the GT's ride compare to the Phantom? The Bentley GT didnt feel much different from a Mercedes 1/3 the price... Do you want a sportier(*rougher) ride quality?
