Are they Turbospeeds? Same OE as a Starion.

Turbospeeds/turbosteels I don't know, but yes, they are. So at least one part of it 'may' be reliable due to Japanese connection :)

I want to see pictures of phoebe and Chester sat in the back

Well done you won't regret it at all. I wouldn't bother with the owners club if they are anything like the RREC £100 a year membership !!!. I have my Silver Spirit on a classic policy with 3k miles but only valued at 5k. It cost £88 so shouldn't be too bad if you are keeping the Honda then you can put it on a classic policy. I will be heading down to the Moretonhampstead motor museum on the 19th with my Rolls maybe we could arrange a south west shiters meet.

You've already got a private plate, let me explain:

 

H154DMD

 

H15 4 DMD

 

His A Diamond

 

He's a Diamond.

I dare you to apply "MY OTHER CAR IS A VOLKSWAGEN" stickers.

 

You're very welcome...  ;)

Fantastic, you have absolutely done the right thing.   I am disgustingly jealous.

 

I was going to say needs an Autoshite sticker but what it actually needs is an Austoshite badge for the badge bar.  

Posted

Wow! That thing is stunning. There's nothing like burbling around in a car the size of a small country! There's not a single thing stupid about this at all. Just brilliant.

Right oh, shiters meet in Moretonhampstead sounds good to me... if I've got it by then and it hasn't broken down! I WANT an 'Autoshite' dealers sticker to go on it as I think 'fairy dust' just won't cut it on this thing!

 

I have just put the date on the calender, please send me details of times etc closer to the day?

You're bloody hopeful aren't you! This  time next year Rodney I'll be destitute and living in it! :)

Ok Del, swap for Reliant Rialto  :mrgreen:

Seriously it really does look lovely for the money of a Dacia something look what you have. Enjoy it.

You might need to buy a flange scraper to remove all the honeys stuck to it every time you try and get in.  I dare you to Google Images 'Bentley Flange Scraper' now.

I/15th share in no. 22, please.

I can't remember who does the dealer stickers and I just used my last one on the Peugeot but they do set the car off nicely.

I will be at the museum on Saturday the 19th probably around 10. If anyone else fancies coming along entry is usually £5 each but I got a groupon voucher for half price. If there is going to be a few of us I can contact the museum and see if they will do something for a group.

Autoshite.   The only place on the planet where a Rolls owner invites a Bentley owner to a meeting with the promise of half-price vouchers.

Fantastic!

Wasn't it Ruffgeezer that was doing the stickers?  I still have one but it's destined for the Rover.

Fortune favours the brave. :-)

 

Save a few quid on a wank private plate by simply mis spacing the plate to read HIS 4 DMD and pretend you are David Mcdonald.

Blimey, there must have been at least nine grand's worth of cow used to make that interior! And you've got the best seat in the house, well done 8)

How much is insurance on one of those beasts?

Cheap. One doesn't pilot a Bentley dangerously, also one expects regular citizens to clear orf out the way.

Sir, I find myself in possession of a spare AS dealer sticker.  If you would care to avail yourself of same, gratis and for free, PM me the address of your Devon estate and I'll bang it in the post, squire  :)

Now that I am officially 'posh' i have just instructed my man at Honda to collect my car and remove said cock and balls from the roof forthwith - not doing it myself of course!

 

Actually just had a really nice chat with Dan the service geezer type chappie and he has agreed to take on the care and nurture of my fine old British bruiser and he is sorting out a paint man to sort out its myriad chips and scratches as we speak! It's really old fashioned paint on these called TPA (thermo-plastic acrylic) and modern tradesmen will wish to renew it in common people paint. I don't want that, I like original... and posh :)

 

I know getting a Honda main dealer to work on a 24 year old heap of Britishness defies logic, but I trust them and rate their workmanship VERY highly and they don't charge much either. They are also still going to look at my |nsight to see why it feels rubbish on the motorway - really twitchy which I'm sure is not right - courtesy car and no charge.
