No, that picture isn't photoshop. And I really have put both my Ferrari and my wife's Bentley on ebay. Now there's a sentence I would never have expected to type when I was living in my van eating oatmeal. We're moving to a smaller house in Hood River so I can play in the water all the time. Terrible time to sell fine cars, but cruising Hood River in a Ferrari seems monumentally stupid, so if you're looking for a bargain exotic: Ferrarihttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140341194007&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:MOTORS:1123 and Bentley http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140341222725&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:MOTORS:1123

Good choice. It's pretty wild. Oddly enough the tuneups aren't bad. There isn't much a mechanic can do other than hook up the diagnostic computer and change the oil and filters. Lotta oil though. I think the Bentley would look great with SUBs on top, but Diane would go apoplectic if I even said that out loud.

Wow Bill nice rides! 

You are right though - either of these in Hood River would look a tad out of place.
You will need a pick up truck with a few hundred stickers on it.

Good luck with the ebay!

Wow, that Bentley sure looks comfy.  The seats alone have more controls than my toyota's entire dash!  All wheel drive, twin turbo V12, incredible. 

The speedo in the ferrari is too cool.  220 mph! Holy crap that's moving right along.

Oh, there is one small error in your description of the Bentley.  Under body style, you called it a coupe.  That's a sedan there shorty - a very fine sedan, indeed.    :)

The Ferrari speedo lies--really it will only do 185-190.

The Bentley is absurdly comfortable. The massage is really nice, I think all cars should be required to have that.

You are absolutely right about it being a Sedan, since it has four doors and a B pillar--it is the pure definition of a sedan. But eBay doesn't seem to have a Sedan selection for tintops. They seem to think they are all coupes. With all the great names we motorheads have for various designs you'd think they'd be more flexible.

Ah yes, a valid reason to call it a coupe.  I just can't resist poking an expert in the ribs!

Nigel will now explain why the ferrari will pull any car with a speedo that only goes to 200.

New board needed a new carrying vehicle...  Just delivered PSH 10-6 AA still in the packaging (thanks Barney & guys at Blueline/Onboard!!) on my summer project (I think it could also be called a coupe?).  I am now counting the seconds to when I get off work and on the water!!


That car is the perfect beach mobile. Love it.

No...I was driving the Boxster and asked and you said " are you f&^%$ing crazy?" Of course she was new at the time. No way I would have turned down a chance in the Ferrari...I just wouldn't drive it like you...of course not many would... ::). I saw God a couple times in that car with you at the wheel.
