New bentley owner
 

Hey guys!
Wanted to induce myself: first time bentley owner,
Sold my 07 BMW m6 and got 2006 bentley gt.
With couple billet holes in the doors... No kidding. Someone got shot in this baby! Holes on the outside were patched up, but inside door panels were not replaced, so I got 2 small (9 mm caliber) holes to remind me that life is precious. Lol.

Glad to be part of this forum and I suspect I'll be asking whole lot of questions.
Appreciate the help!!!

Welcome Gambit.

I take it you have changed the registration number so that you don't get mistaken for the other guy!

Les.

Yep. Sure did. And the color. Wrapped it in matte white wrap.

Wow! Enjoy the ride and yes, hopefully you're never mistaken for the previous owner(!).

Wow bullet holes???:eek:

I hope you enjoy the ride more than the other fellow.:p Nice car ain't it?

Who was the last owner??? Did he live???

Love the car. I " upgraded" from a M6. CGT is a heavier car yet has an impressive midrange power.

Of course there are few things I wish it had from my M6 ( I know I'm going to pay for this comment) . But overall what a great car!

Kinda wish I could find out.

Not in Houston are you?

I believe this is the one.
Silver before the shooting, White after.

Johnny,
holly ****!!! how did you find that???? thats the one! not sure why they changed rims!

i am not sure i would buy the car knowing the history of it

unless it was a very good deal. like VERY!

Well.. car has a history now.. I did get a decent deal, and … it really doesn't bother me.

Hello Gambit,
According to the listing on yours when it was at the salvage yard up for bid, it was listed as "vandalized", NOT as a bio hazard, as in bio hazard of a body and or bodies, SO I for one do not believe anyone was in the vehicle at the time of the shooting, kinda like this Bentley linked below, it is listed as "vandalized", But upon closer inspection of the pictures, one can see that the bullets went in through the drivers window and one went through the dash, and then both exited the passenger side glass, but being that both airbags deployed, I believe someone was behind the wheel of this one, I see no blood though inside, and the 06 I am parting out has plenty of blood, it dose not come out of the leather, SO believe me you would see it if it was there, So enjoy your baby.
