    Today I saw a GT in the West Chester Area, OH area (specifically on Tylersville Rd). Put a smile on my face, but the smile quickly wore off when I saw the stupid "bling" wheels on it.

    I usually carry my camera in my car, but I didn't have it today.

    Nearly any "type" car these days will get pimped one way or another. Albeit a Bentley GT, Ferrari, Cadillac or H2. Let it be clear there are strong good looking aftermarket rims and then there's bling. Usually it's subjective but we all pretty much know which is which and who's driving which.

    I read in a Car Audio magazine that Jermaine O'neil does have a Murcielago. It also says he has a 360 along with several other cars, but none were listed besides the Phantom, 360 and Murcielago.

    Last week I actually saw a silver Bentley GT parked in the Walmart parking lot near Easton (Columbus)! I was leaving the nearby Wendy's and couldn't believe it. It was, however, parked well away from any other car. I have seen about three other Bentley GT's around the Easton area, which were all being driven by women in their late 30's to early 40's.

    I actually came home one day and noticed a brand new Bentley GT parked across the street from my house. Literally! The owner parked there to save the $6 valet fee at Boca's restaurant in Cincy. ;)

    or didn't want Valet driving it.....
     
  12. I see a white one almost every weekend. His boat is next to mine. He's got a 53' Carver also. My Hero. On another note, I saw the Beavens (from Gilligans island-the 3 million net worth couple). He has a Corvette, Hummer, and a wild cig boat.

    There are quite a few around the Cincinnati area. I know I have seen at least 5 different ones and another one with florida plates. These cars are so sweet.

    Saw a Titanium Vanquish on Brownsboro Road in Louisville but can't understand the number of Bentley GT's and I haven't seen the first DB9....go figure. I'd be happy to the first one fine day.

    Bentley is mass-producing the GT compared to other exotic car makers. I believe the GT is pumped out around the numbers of Ferrari's entire volume (all models). I heard that Bentley wants to push the GT production to 9,000 a year?
