I hate black wheels. I cannot understand why anyone finds them attractive. Give me silver or chrome any day. And those big tires .. ugly.

Just bought my first automatic, a Mercedes C220 Sport, and I can honestly say I never want to change gear again.

That's pretty.

My mate's wife works at Aston Martin and gets to borrow the cars sometimes. I'll tell her to put it on the list.

I was such a manual snob until I went automatic, now I'll never look back.

 

[Nick]

I remember the first automatic I drove, it was a brand new range rover. I nearly blew it up trying to get used to it without about 50 people watching, crumbled under the pressure.

Depends what motor it is I suppose. Fine in a big engined barge but not so clever in a small car that's revving it's balls off at 35mph waiting for the auto change.

 

[Nick]

Test drove a Hybrid Yaris too, that sounded like it was going to blow up.

Lol, maybe the elastic band was at full stretch?

It was awful. Just wanted a dabble to see if it was any good and would save loads of money.

Had wind up windows too on a 16k car.

Im seeing plenty of these new jag f types around toronto lately not bad looking motor in the flesh:

 

[Gazolba]

Any one know what this car is? It was in a 1954 film. It's right-hand drive with British plates. My first thought was an Alvis or an Italian bodied Austin Princess. But I just don't know. It certainly is a beauty.

 

[Marty]

It's a Bentley.

Just looked on Google and it looks similar to other Bentley's from that era but can't find an exact match.

It's a 60's Bentley Continental DHC. Does look like an Alvis from the front though. Maybe the same design house.

The film was made in 1954 as I previously said, so how could it be a 60's car?
The two-piece front windscreen is also definitely from an earlier era.
You are right though, it is a Bentley. Maybe with an Italian body.
I found this old forum thread about the car:
Bentley Mk.VI Drop Head Coupé in "Viaggio in Italia"

Missed that and good point

I'll have a rethink

Depends what type of auto too. I had an electronic auto, and it was dogshit. Whenever my car goes in for servicing I get an auto however, and that's rather pleasant.

For drivability you can't beat an old fashion slush auto with the only compromise being economy. The modern triptronics are horrible. Renault being the worse I've experienced. Have a habit of trying to kill you at junctions. You'll pull up to a junction or roundabout and before you come to a complete stop if you notice that the way is clear and take your foot of the brake and press the accelerator there's sometimes a delay in the computer and it can't keep up with you so doesn't accelerate, by which time the way isn't clear but the computer has now caught up and despite having you're foot on the brake it's trying to accelerate so you have to stamp hard on the brake to stop it jumping out in front of traffic. Driven a few Renault models now with triptronic boxes over the years and found them all to have the same glitch.

anyone see the new supra its horrible basically a bmw z4 and a bmw engine

Ice greyish blue buddy

They sell a car here called the Mitsubishi Mirage. One of the colours available is 'plasma purple'. It's very striking and looks more pink than purple.
These cars have a 3 cylinder engine. The pink ones are pretty rare, I've only ever seen a couple of them.
