[HummerJim]

In a brief moment of auto craziness that I get now and then, I bought a 1989 Bentley Turbo R in 1998 from Schmidt RRs. Bentleys are the only cars that use mineral oil in the brake lines except for RRs, so be careful who services it and works on your brakes. It has tires that are unique to it and the RRs and you can't find them at any price anywhere and when they come up on Ebay they run 600 each and then you have to ship them from GB unless you go to a slightly wider cross section. The power steering pumps are a major source of agrivation on all Bentley's, even the newer ones, and Rolls.
If you don't count the 4000 I put into maintenance on it, I sold it two years later what I paid for it and the "camel tan hide seats" are the most comfortable I ever sat on. You gotta love the real wood dash and like the Hummer, Bentleys are head turners. Parts were a big issue, because Rolls and Bentley have parts unique to each. The turbo R was a great highway cruiser and for a big tank it would do 145 mph. I really wanted to keep it, but the wife said you're not building another garage or adding on to the current one - she keeps my limit at six slips with one for the tractor. Bentleys are fun and reasonable to insure but finding a good Bentley mechanic in the Midwest was a pain as well as the ridiculous cost of parts. All in all, I would have like to have kept it, but it ended up sitting a lot and not being driven.
