Have we reached the bottom..........

Out walking the dog earlier and a black Bentley Continental drove past with Black Wheels, Blacked out windows, Lime Green Bentley Badges, Lime Green Stripes from Boot to Bonnet and a multitude of other 'Halfordesque' tat that was enough to make your hair curl

Are somethings not sacred, what next, will Halfords start selling 'go faster' kits for the Morgan or maybe a confederate flag for the roof of the Veyron!!!

As they say you cant buy class !!

If we all liked the same we'd all have the same car.

I'm up for a little individualism. Manners and road etiquette would rile me more than perceived taste. I'm sure it was not a looker though ..... ETTO.

As for lime green.

Bentley themselves have a lot to answer for. Their Pikes Peake car. Lime Green, interior not much better.

I could have just said Bentayga couldnt I though

I think the Bentayga in any colour is an abomination

As you say ETTO, I would like to get a look inside their houses

I was driving home one night and a Bentayga went flying past me on the A1.

It was all blacked out with the most fucking awful body kit on it. It absolutely screamed 'drug dealer'

I'd imagine your other half has seen some awful cars in the work car park given you said he works for a premier league team.

there was a young player at a london based team, now up North, who lived near me - had a drugged out X6 and then swapped it for a matt grey pimped up Merc S63 convertible.... lots of money but not to my taste. Noise was fab though!

To be honest the team he works for doesn't attract those sort of players. They have strong values they try to install into the players and wouldn't buy that sort of player.

Having said that the car park is full of very nice cars but nothing overtly flashy or modified.

What they do with their money (as long as it's legal!) and what cars they drive are nothing to do HR unless how they drive that car brings the club into disrepute!

From that angle it actually looks half decent! Just don't look at the face!

And that's a lovely blue colour!

I know was only messing.

Although there will be some contractual things about sponsor cars (Utd Chevrolet) and back in the day Ryan Giggs hamstring problems were linked to a heavy manual clutch in a Ferrari.
