If I'm not mistaken the panel gap between the rear bumper and the rear quarter should be below the rear light, not through it on a real Conti GT?

Yeah the back is quite...Mustang-ish. Taillights are wrong, trunk lid is wrong, panel gap is wrong. Fender creases and wheel wells are wrong, but well-hidden by the cage and flares. Definitely a Mustang.

That said, I still loving love it.

I dunno guys I'm looking at this and wondering how they would nail all the details just so perfectly with a kit car when they could just get a real one and tart it up. It isn't like nobody has taken a Bentley in the dirt before, Top Gear comes to mind.

I think the slight angle difference and the matte/gloss difference make them look different, but I'm pretty sure they're the same. I'm saying real deal Bentley.

You may have been looking at a post-2012 Continental rear end; this one looks like it's def a 2007-2012. The newer ones have the panel gap below the rear light as you said.

Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.

Why don't they just take a photo with the yellow car in the frame, then when they get home they can google one of the thousands of pre-made photos of the same scene with no car, then save it in the same folder right next to it? That way they can prove they were there, and have a much better photo of the place they went to. It even said the scene is on the British passport, so presumably most people there have photo of it already? Unless his car is on everyone's passport too which would be amazing.

Alright, let's do this
There was a small car show in town today. Unfortunately I work third shift so I missed most of the cool stuff, but I got to take my comet on its first actual drive since I bought it (it was terrifying). AlsoI just got a new phone so I the pictures I took are kinda crap.





















This was in an otherwise uninteresting Plymouth, but I love the idea for how rinky-dink it is. Homemade Mad Max!

He can be a dick and still be well within his rights. If people are literally stopping in that town to take a picture of that road and he doesn't give a gently caress that he's ruining it, that makes him kind of a dick. It doesn't mean he deserves to have his car vandalized, obviously.

I expect these people would whine about my manky land Rover being parked in the same spot, even though is is massively more in keeping with "small rural English village" than anything I'd think they drive.

But he's parking his car in front of his house? I fail to see how that's him being a dick and more just how reality works. If he wore shoes someone else didn't like or ate food someone else didn't like or kiss someone else that someone didn't like does that make him a dick?

Because he rents a house in a National Trust neighborhood, which exists solely for people to come and appreciate the view. If I bought land in front of a scenic overview, or a monument, and built a wall in front of it to ruin the view, I'd be a dick, too. Buying THAT car was a dick move that he was completely within his rights to do.

But anyway, he now has a grey car so apparently that's un-garish enough to have alleviated the problem.

Edit: I'm curious where everyone else in the neighborhood parks their cars.
