hope you haven't dozed off !!

apparently they spent more of the purchase price on creating a sporting feel to the car rather than the usual comfort zone with wood et c i'd say they succeeded.

i particularly liked the 2006 XS for it's resemblance to this - 2012 Bentley Flying Spur Series 51 Specs, Pictures & Engine Review
the 2007 XS had a different grille setup that i didn't like as much, so i got a 2006 :-)

 

thanks, it's good to be rare :-) what a great bunch of guys you are!!
