Came across this old Bentley while wandering the back streets around Spitalfields this weekend. Initally attracted by the patina, but then noticed the lead hanging out the back.......

Cecil Kimber rotates in his grave.
Today's cars may be better than the old cars in many respects, but the loss of aesthetics is simply brutal.
This is what a luxurious, beautiful MG looks like:

With trenches and overhead gantries, I wonder if there might be an emergent problem of people having an increased expectation that the road outside their house is somehow 'theirs'?

Vandals. Keep the ICE cars running on petrol. That cable is a trip hazard as well.

Phil, faced with the Muskmobile or the well patinated Bentley. the shape is something else so it would have to be the one.

I'd like to add Blair and Rees - Mogg to the Musk ovite slappers list please. I only have to see their faces and I'm thinking about putting my black kid gloves on and checking for cctv.. (No reference to children or colour please)..

I think a ganged pair of "clean" Busa units would be better in the Bentley though 😎 could you just imagine nobs growling at him when he gets the Busa howling away, not cricket old boy.

This French racer is the epitome of real world character racing to me, he appears on Youtube in their classic races normally with a fag hanging off his lower lip giving the beans.

I would love to have a conversation with him over a few beers.

Sorry for the previous drift.
