Pectoral Fins or Side Wings on the Bentley GT

I always get a little excited when I see Bentley things I have never seen before.

Especially if it's a Sultan of Brunei car photo or simply something that is mad. This is mad.

When I was sent these photos (well, actually tagged in Facebook) I did say woooooooow!

I've not only never seen this before, but I've never heard of it, or even thought of it.

Lets take a look.



Here it is.



Yeah it's a matte black GT with side skirts, but, but, but what's that thing above the rear wheel?



Oh my gosh! The Bentley has pectoral fins.



Yep, it has side wings.



It's absolutely mad!



I've certainly never seen that before.



It definitely adds an unexpected design element. And it's also a wide body kit as well.



They have has a go at the interior.





I think it looks fine.





But having pectoral fins or side wings on a car - now that is a bit special!



They would for sure make it go faster.

Thanks so much to Ross for alerting me to this one!

Anyone know who makes this kit?

Ouch

The 18yo Bentley driver was fine. Not so much the Ghost white paint job.

Tasteful Phantom EWB

This very tasteful Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB has turned up for sale.



No stainless steel to be seen here! Only black and gold will do.



It has turned up for sale in Japan.



And being Japanese, of course it comes with an extra television.



Let's just say that the television is not as well integrated as the Rolls-Royce one behind the clock. Kind of stands out a bit.



I think at is an after-market aerial on the windscreen. Very Japanese.



Now the rear seat. As this is an Extended Wheel Base model, there certainly is not enough room for 3 passengers, please only seats for two.

You can not go past the custom wheels on this car. What do they say on them? I think it's Autocouture. Durr.



It's yours for 28,399,000 Yen here.

Thanks Andy for the link.

The Price is Right

No really, The Price is Right. Yeah, the TV show.

This is not a pun. Let's watch The Price is Right.



Love it!

Some in car deportment tips

I have been driving a few mates around over the last few days.

Nothing like brushing up on your in car deportment.



Especially going through Maccas drive through.

This is probably a re-post but I'm not fussed.

Matte Pink Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed

Standard pink Bentleys are a bit normal nowadays.

You need to push what is shocking and amazing at the same time.

Go with matte pink. Much more in your face.

Click on the image to see a super high resolution photo to see all the shockingness up super close.



Now the matte pink Bentley driving on the street.



I'll take it, with some confidence injections.

I like it that it has been taken way too far that it makes it ok again.

Nicki Minaj's Pink Bentley

Well, not only Paris Hilton has a pink Bentley.

So does Nicki Minaj. It matches her hair. Sometimes.



The car was made by Roadstarr Motorsports of LA.



It you have lots of fans, and your drive a pink Bentley, it is kind of easy to get mobbed. Take a look.



Love the trash.

Grand Theft Auto Bentley Arnage T Crash Testing

This is a bit trashy, but still cool.

Ever felt like crash testing a Bentley Arnage T. How many flips do you think it could do? Go on, test yours.

Well, not in real like, on the computer. The game is Grand Theft Auto 4.



The fly through of the interior at the end of the video really shows how realistic the CGI is.

Rolls-Royce Kingswood

I do like Aussie ingenuity. Sh'ill be right mate, I'll do it myself.

Take a look at the rear of this car.

First glance when I look at this rear end, I always look for the centre badge. Is it a RR or a B.

There is none, so that is a little odd. May have got nicked.



But from the side, the car tells a different story. Those bumper bars must have been stolen, well borrowed from a Crewe car, but those doors are a dead give-away.

Have you picked it? Car'n on all you Aussies, South Africans, Kiwis or Caribbean people....



Those doors are from a bloody Holden Kingswood mate!



Now from the front. The grill is not perfect, but those WD Holden Kingswood (I think) front head lights are very similar to the Crewe part.

I guess they are about 1 cm too slim. I have actually seen these Holden lights grafted onto a Silver Shadow trying to look like a Silver Spirit.



Again the front bumper bar is from Crewe, so that means that the dimensions for the car, width wise anyway, are actually true!

If you want to buy this car it is for sale in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia for AU$8000, from Atlas Cars & Commercials, ph 1300321387, Winnellie, NT.

Quite a good feet for a backyard job, as well as coming from Darwin.



Now for all those readers who are not familiar with the Holden Kingswood or Holden cars in general, take a look at this period ad to get the jest.



It's Australia's favourite car! Football, Meat Pies, Kangaroos and Holden Cars...

But really, Australian's actually know what a Holden Kingswood is really good for, and that is certainly not a Rolls-Royce, it is for this!



I love it that the guy in the back right hand side seat is wearing thongs (yes, that is what his footwear is call), about a meat pies width away from flames. That's Aussie mate.

Let's go straight to the Summernats cun...


PS. Yes, I am Australian, and I do like Football, Meat Pies, Kangaroos and Holden Cars. I have no other interests.

I'm still giggling that I managed to make a video of four Aussies bogans doing a massive burnout in a HQ Kingswood completely relevant and appropriate and on topic for a blog about Bentley and Rolls-Royce cars.... Thank you.

Very Lowflying Spares

Always keep a spare in the car in case you need it.



Hey, you might get into a fender bender.



Just have a mig welder ready, a power supply and some superglue in the back too...



And you can only crash the front right hand side on this trip



Thanks to Rodd Sala again for the pics.

Hittin' Switches in da Flying B

Yo, if I a waz hangin' wit da bros, goin' 4 a roll in da rides wit switches & hot bitchez lik dis ---



I'd be hittin' switches in da Flying B, muthafuc...



Which essentially translates to:

If attending an event with associates of the air suspension enthusiasts club, on a day when partner were encouraged to participate, I would attend in a Bentley Continential with appropriate modifications to be a member of the club. Thank you.

Sad Silver Shadow

This car was Spotted at a scrap yard north of Toronto, Canada.



There really should be a law against such things.



And why are they always red...?



It does bother me to see this.

Hopefully it will be used to save others.

Towed of Toad Hall (or more sad Rollers)

So, his Lordship needs to tow something with his Silver Shadow and his local RR dealer will not supply a trailer hitch.

From Bentley Spotting

Off he goes to the local blacksmith for a custom fit . One must rip off the rear bumper, though.

The original "Hidden Hitch"

From Bentley Spotting

Mind you, if you're a Rolls-Royce, it's better to be the 'Trail-er' than the 'Trail-ee':

Lloyd Banks Sings Beamer, Benz, Or Bentley

The rapper Mr Lloyd Banks sings his new song for us titled 'Beamer, Benz, Or Bentley'.

Enjoy in high definition.

I do like the winged B badge as a necklace.



It is distracting.

Redneck vs Blond in Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit.

Redneck vs Blond in Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit, American specification.

It's pretty bad.

I do like at the 0:57 part the Silver Spirit turns from a left to a right hooker.

Too bad the Silver Spirit was not up against the Bentley Blazer by Jankel.



Bentley Blazer by Jankel is based on a 1973-1991 General Motors Chevolet K5 Blazer.



With the Bentley Turbo R 6.75L V8 turbo under the bonnet.



Quality

Bentley Suitcase Croco

Often ideas from Russia are a little different than what is expected.

Take this Bentley for example. It is called the "Bentley Suitcase Croco".

That is right, the Bentley Suitcase Croco. As in a crocodile suitcase on a Bentley.

The reason is unknown.



How they did it was that they wrapped the car in African buffalo leather, then proceeded to embossed and paint the leather to make it look like crocodile skin.



Again the reason to apply fake crocodile skin to the outside of one's Bentley is unknown, but here is the outcome.



Oh, and there are some dainty ladies in the video. They must have used up all the leather for the car, as their leather skirts are a little too short. More like a belt, but oh well.

Rush your order to Orha if you are interested.

Silver Shadow Dual Cab 4x4 ute

A couple of years ago this car showed up.

It is a 1972 Silver Shadow Dual Cab 4x4 ute based on a 1976 Dodge chassis.



The dual cab ute tray does make it more practical than the Aussie 4x4 SUV Silver Shadow posted earlier.



And guess what... it has recently been spotted in the wild!

JP Montoro sent in these photos.



It seems to be used quite appropriately.



Thanks for the link to the photos JP Montoro.

Hot Rod MPW FHC

"Divorce forces sale!" blares the ad. Who would have thought.



Yes it is. It is a Hot Rod Rolls Royce Mulliner Park Ward Fixed Head Coupe, or 2 door salon as the factory called it.



Not sure what the factory would call this car now.



The advertiser concludes "It is a one-car parade, lots of looks, whistles, thumbs up and smiles!". How very discrete and subtle of course.



"A true head turner!" Too true.



"You can park this car next to any new phantom, maybach, ferrari, etc. and you will get all the attention... very unique ride."





I do agree that you will get all the attention.





Attention does come however in degrees of satisfaction.



"I love this car and I know the next proud owner will too."



Which is absolutely true, and the reason why I really really do like this car. Yes it is so wrong. Horrid. It is a total bogan car. SummerNats ready the whole works.



It has massive amounts of passion and true care. Good luck with the sale mate!



And I do love the reflection in this above photograph, showing the owner in fashion that suits the car. Simply bare chested, in shorts and we all agree that shoes are for pussys.
