The last time I pulled my Canon 450D out was for the Vanquish 3 years ago. I'm going to have to read up the manual all over again!

She started edging forward. I thought, she's trying to beat me with her 20 year-old Crapanese dinger, but I was right for the wrong reason.

I was slow when the lights changed as she zipped ahead and without indicating pulled in front of me, about to expensively broadside my front corner.

I jammed on the brakes and discovered several things...

First, Bentley brakes are responsive! Second, the horn is too quiet (or is the soundproofing too efficient?). Third, I discovered several words from an unknown language, as she gaily tootled on her way to some unknown appointment.

And I was on my way to sign for a more expensive insurance policy because the cover I had previously was too lax. Sensible me!!!

Christmas time is chaos on the roads... I should have thought ahead and bought a Hummer.
Wow almost crashed and not a week old.

You are understating the horn deficiency. It f------g SUCKS! Weakest spot on the Bentley for sure and I am shocked this flaw has not been mentioned earlier. You might need to buy some loud azz pipes like I got and they will know you are there. I think the Harley Davidson motto that loud pipes save lives has merit.

When I had my 2003 100th Anniversary Roadking Classic, her custom pipes were loud as hell! Save my *** plenty of times. Cops never, ever bothered me with those pipes neither, they somehow know the reason. The Bentley horn does suck. I like your interior silver stitching Ken. On piano black interior, it looks good. I wanted to finish my stitching in silver also.

I've never seen the advantage in contrast stitching or quilted seats, but I have to say now that I have them, everything else looks plain. And so the climb continues...
