Arrow Bentley Coupe test drive
I just took my buddy's Bentley for a little spin. The highway was a bit congested for me to really play but it was fun. The car is definitely an attention getter. The exhaust note is sweet, smooth ride and great pick up. 90 feels like 50. I must say though, I wasn't impressed. It didn't have that factor. It's kind of boaty and floaty.


Just saying.

That car is one that your chaffeur is supposed to enjoy driving as you enjoy the deep, cushy back seat...

The burning question is, did your shoes match the Bentley's interior?

No! The exterior is a dark blue and the interior is cream with wood trim. I'd have to change my entire wardrobe. That car will never work, I'm glad I wasn't impressed.

I was surprised. This is the friend that used to have the Viper. Two completely different animals. I thought it would have been more of a sports car. I didn't expect it to be a brute like the Viper but did expect a refined sports car.

No, I just grabbed the keys and went. I didn't have him show me the workings. It took me a while to find where the fookin key went. What's with the ignition on the left side of the steering wheel? The trunk release is on the door, forward of the driver's side window control. Ask me how I know.

Let me guess, you were opening it up for Mr. Officer and he saw the load in the back
