Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Except storing a giant metal roof would be a bitch and make the rear of the car look like a whale.

Yeah and a metal roof would just make it have less space while making the entire thing bigger. lose/lose honestly

Maybe, if they managed to keep it looking the same but with a hardtop it would be alot better than it is now

Totally agree but I don't see how they can manage it without taking up all the trunk space.

Tbf, with all hard folding roofs you have to sacrifice most of the boot space

Which will either lead to people complaining about the lack of space or Bentley trying to keep space the same and making a larger storage area for the roof. Full circle, doesn't go far either. :/

 

Honestly I'd rather just have a coupe and be done with it, a Continental is not a car I would get as a convertible.

The only convertibles id consider are the Maserati GranCabrio or a BMW M3. And even then id prefer the coupes to them

Just cant afford to keep it, i own two motorcycles (both are 50cc mopeds) and i cant afford to insure the 240 on top of the cost of owning two mopeds. (My corvette  moped has been restricted to the stupid laws with veteran vehicles and i can only drive it to and from car shows)

And therefore i had to buy a cheap moped. (Nothing special, just a chinese 50cc Honda grom replica)

@techswede if you  are willing to make a roadtrip to Eidsvoll in Norway she's all yours for 10000 NOK

If you cant afford to keep it, why buy it in the first place?
