    Default The Plumbing Bentley...



    http://www.stuff.co.nz/3938769a30.html

    Peter Vandenberg has just spent about $360,000 on a new Bentley – and turned it into a plumber's van.





    He has been turning heads on Auckland's North Shore after he had his new pride and joy kitted out with signwriting, a roof rack and equipment for his company Atlas Plumbing.

    Mr Vandenberg has been in the plumbing business for six months, having previously made his living in property development in London and New Zealand. He says buying a Bentley as a plumbing vehicle is a bit of a practical joke on the industry.

    The response from the public has been excellent. "People have been coming out of bars and taking photographs of it. All the boys want to be taken for a drive." His competition has been more subdued. "There's just smiles and hmmm."

    He admits using a luxury car has drawbacks – he has to clean it twice a day and the 12-cylinder, six-litre engine guzzles about $120 of fuel every two days. "But if it gets the company noticed then it's a good thing." His wife was not keen at first on the high-cost concept.

    "She's come around now." He may even do the same to a Ferrari one day.
    Here, hold my beer!

    yeah, but that "slow" Bentley would probably walk your ass. And if you had the money to buy a Bentley, I am sure you would have the money for a "fast" car as well.

    maybe i missed something, but i don't recall saying that the $20k car i have now could actually smoke a $300k bentley. i'm saying for the money, and for my personal taste, i would get something faster. if i wanted a luxury car, i'd get a bentley or rolls. if i wanted something for speed, i'd get something like a ferrari. is any of this sinking in cumguzzler?
