Default Bentley Doing Donuts!!

http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/s...threadid=15189

In this link there's another link and shows you why he did it. Stated that the Bentleys are crap and that the dealership literally banned him so he decided to do donuts in the dealership lot. lol

Why did he do it ? I couldn't find the secondary link....only the one with the donuts and the middle finger. Obviously this guy was p - - - ed off. He also put a hell of a lot of stress on his drivetrain and probably ruined his rear tires.

During the weekend, Dr. Michael and Audrey told us horror stories about how unreliable their Bentley is. Actually, this was their second Bentley. The first one was a lemon so Bentley bought it back. The second one still has problems and one time left Audrey stranded in the middle of a intersection. They have complained about their Bentley so much that the local Bentley dealership wrote them a letter banning them from going there. We developed a plan to get Bentley back. We took the Bentley to the Bentley dealership and we planned on doing a stand-still burnout in front of it. But the parking lot was empty and so we had Dado whip a few donuts instead. Holy crap, Dado laid the thickest, darkest strips of rubber that I have ever seen! It was one of the coolest things that I have ever taped. So damn funny. To see that much weight in motion was so bad ***. Adrian sitting on the window sill while the car was doing donuts was classic.

Thanks, Hameed. Unreliable British cars certainly are nothing new. Apparantly German ownership has helped but not eliminated the problem.

And....yeah.....with some 600 ft /lb of torque and the T/C switched off, donuts in this car are a piece of cake....as the picture indicates.

For some reason the link to the burnout won't show for me. Must be nice to be a booby doctor, eh?

Any car that's related to VW ownership shouldn't be expected to be reliable neither.

True, at least to some extent, but I think this guy just got a lemon....a car that was worse than the average Bentley. Yes, he has a right to be mad if he got a $200,000 lemon.
Problem is.......what he did in that parking lot certainly didn't help the car any and probably made it even MORE of a lemon by tearing up the drivetrain.

This info is gotten from post in the second link:

"Dr. Gray is a leading surgeon in many forms of cosmetic surgery. Dr. Gray is most noted for Scarless Breast Augmentation and External Ultrasonic Liposuction. Dr. Gray has extensive experience in other forms of cosmetic surgery including face lifts, neck lifts, eye lifts, tummy tucks, and laser resurfacing to name a few. "

Here is a link to the website.
