Good lord. Green 959 does it get better than this. For a Porsche geek I’m not sure. Dreams.

Ultimately glad I did it in matte. These lines really pop now. It was almost as if the black was too good. Too liquidy.

Just got her back today. Drives so well. This model has the sport exhaust which is new for Bentley. And it sounds great. I don’t worry about potholes or speed bumps. It’s super comfortable and also very ballsy.

I hope the love affair lasts. Similar to the turbo s, it’s a perfect all arounder. Which has always been my goal. With watches and cars.

Definitely shows the lines of the car much better than the liquid black. There’s shadows and contrast now. Very nicely done!

Damn, that turned out better than I expected. I was on the clear wrap camp, but after seeing this, your right, the lines are more noticeable. Great choice, glad you didn't listen to me!!

For some reason I'm having trouble uploading an image with Tapatalk, but here's my new daily driver:

https://www.drive.com.au/news/2022-t...ders-birthday/

Land Cruiser 70th anniversary. Almost the same as the stock image except mine is white. Different type of performance car, but loving every minute of it. I split time between the US and east Africa, and since I can't get this car in the former, might as well enjoy it in the latter.

Any advice on uploading to Tapatalk?

Thanks fellas. Appreciate it. Enjoying every minute of this baby. A great grocery getting. And tomorrow I’ll take her up to bear mountain and get some real driving done.

As for the name, I think I’m going with Nero. I like how simple it is. And the namesake is a bit of a bastard. I like that.

Parking lot in HS is true!

Remember how we used to drop a motor in back in the day? Pic is missing the beer...

Went on a bit of a “fool’s errand” today for the Mrs. She’s an avid reader and an author she likes shipped one free copy of her book to a ton of different miniature roadside “libraries” all across the country. The closest one was about an hour and a half away in a little town out here in Northern NV. She had to work so I agreed to drive out there and see if the book was still there or not. No luck on the book as someone beat me to it, but it was a great drive!

Added another daily driver. Liking green lately. There are no 23’s to be found (at least I couldn’t find one without ordering it). My local dealer had several new 22’s, still selling well in this area even with adm. Not my first MB, have had a few over the years and I’ve always been happy with them. First G, and it’s fantastic so far IMO.

Lol I wish! That’s top speed recall which I reset before the trip. At the time I was putting through my neighborhood coming back hence the low RPM’s.

Thank you, Seth! I don’t think I’m going to change a thing on this… Maybe a set of 22s down the road… But I really, really like it as is!
