I had to share the space with 2 other 6 foot+ men. It was awkward.

Yes. The dragster community does not judge based on the same set of concours rules, clearly.

er... they did take it off the hood and placed it there to show off the engine. However, that’s not all of it. You can see the flatter side parts under the car. It was all back together in time for them to drive it away at the end of the day.

I saw a non-rusty Bagheera at the weekend. Sadly, it wasn’t a 3-seater any more, as someone had placed a V8 where the frunk used to be and a huge transmission tunnel where the middle seat used to be. There were some other changes from standard too...

Having ridden in that seat in a similar (albeit non-pantherised) car, I can confirm that it’s best for everyone if you don’t have a left leg (that’s where the gearstick is), and there will be physical contact with both other occupants, so it can be awkward.

Fortunately, most Bentley Continentals are sold to people who don’t spend much time in the rear, Korean or otherwise.

So... Michael, did Luc Donckerwolke present the car? You know, the now-Hyundai, ex-Bentley guy who got all hot under the collar when Lincoln’s concept looked too similar to a Bentley...

“Speaking to a sold-out crowd of more than 2,300 people Tuesday at the Birch Run Expo Center in Michigan...”

It’s worked for Bentley for a while, but I guess they have some olde worlde charm to fall back on

Give the Hungarian dude a break. That sentence is one letter-swap away from automotive journalist perfection...

You know where the Head Designer dude who made those rants went to after mysteriously disappearing from Bentley?.......

“Have you ever seen a higher beltline?”

Looks like a field of dreams to me. Particularly trippy but excellent dreams.

Wow. Amazing. Even more amazing is that it’s not the only “Soviet-era personal-mobility amphibious vehicle whose name starts with k” in the archives:

How many production cars could manage it at speed without suffering catastrophic oil starvation? Even some track cars would struggle, I think.

CHAMP cars raced there in 2001 and 2002, back when that particular travelling circus visited Europe. However, no US series has travelled there since, so they just kind of don’t use the outer loop. Which is a shame.

Behold! The Nexen of the Universe!

Rockingham, just north of Corby, Northamptonshire, England. Not too far from Rockingham forest. I did not just make that up.
