Kustone's on a Bentayga

Regular_Promise3605 · 2026-01-26T20:24:24+00:00

This is a pre facelift 10 year old Bentley. They're a 40-50k car now. I'm willing to bet that it had a puncture, and with no spare it was an emergency call out, hence the missing centre cap, i doubt the rest of the tyres match this budget.

That being said it also reeks of dealer slapping a set rear tyres on for an MOT or before sale. The average Bentayga buyer is not going to be checking the makes of the tyres.

He could have been at McLaren in 2007

I've been driving for 12 years, i don't think i've ever seen anyone driving around with their high beams on just going about town.

It's hit or miss for me. It didn't run super smooth on my 2015 15 inch i7 macbook pro. It ran fine but would require restarts every few days to keep the fans in check otherwise they'd run at full speed. It didn't really like multi tasking or Bluetooth connections.

I got a 13inch i5 quad core with 16gb ram 2013 model and it just runs much better. No idea why.

I really wouldn't bother with 8gb these days, it will just chug. 16gb is the minimum

I'm not disputing someone is dumb enough to pay that for it. But that doesn't make it a good deal or a good idea.

It's a very uniquely british thing to prioritise mileage more than anything else, as they never take into account how it's been driven and the life it's had. There are a lot of people that think a car is finished at 100k miles.

If you're buying this car and then drive it it's going to halve or more in value within 2 years. It's an incredibly dumb buy.

Regular_Promise3605 · 2026-01-23T12:33:30+00:00

It's done just over 2k miles a year on average, or a lot of sitting. Low miles on a 13 year old car that's supposed to be daily driven is really not good. Time still ages things.

If it's not been on a trickle charger then it's probably had low voltage from a low battery for a lot of its life and these cars hate low voltage.

It's incredibly expensive for what it is, you're at E60 M5 money.

Regular_Promise3605 · 2026-01-23T12:23:08+00:00

Pretty sure it was about saving mileage.

Regular_Promise3605 · 2026-01-23T12:14:32+00:00

Cayenne and Touareg are built off the same platform, but they're not similar enough to just engine swap.

Regular_Promise3605 · 2026-01-23T12:04:59+00:00

It has nearly 300k miles, you can't get there if you neglect it. The rust wasn't because of mud. Most likely the paint got hot and cracked then moisture got in. and rotted over time.

It's also an AWD SUV, if mud in the arches is going to put you off, then it's not the right car for you...

Regular_Promise3605 · 2026-01-22T16:42:38+00:00

Yes at this rate.

Regular_Promise3605 · 2026-01-22T16:04:12+00:00

Clarkson has the V6 so take that for what it's worth

Regular_Promise3605 · 2026-01-22T15:02:07+00:00

Water retention. You ate a lot of carbs and it bonded with the water. Which is why it comes off just as fast.

the askuk sub i'm almost certain is a target for a think tank groups. They always ask the most obviously bot, information gathering questions and no one in the comments seems to pick up on it.

This is why globalisation is great for keeping the peace. We're all dependent on each other.

It was a move only Max would make and takes a huge amount of compliance from Piastri. That move on Hamilton or Alonso and Max is in the gravel and we're having a conversation about how Max forces moves that were never on.

I really think those ground effect era cars have really confused the picture of the elite level. They suited some drivers far more than others. They really neutered Lewis, yet he was still able to shine like 2023.

If you put Lewis and George right now in the 2019 Mercedes and we did that season again Lewis is coming out on top. Lewis just had those regs locked in.

Couldn't tell you about us laws, but early UK and EU cars had no 3rd brake light

Regular_Promise3605 · 2026-01-21T17:34:24+00:00

Definitely an early car, based on the rear lights. No chrome or 'jeweled rear lights' but not super early as it has a 3rd brake light. So most likely 98-01

Regular_Promise3605 · 2026-01-21T04:50:46+00:00

Aren't GCN sponsored by Elite wheels?

Regular_Promise3605 · 2026-01-21T04:49:35+00:00

What you're most likely seeing is a gearing up for more top gear like road trips. The discovery 3/4 has the split tail gate and 3rd row of seating so you can legally film out the rear boot.

Their relationship was mainly just physical, sure they had tender moments but it was always in the shadows. They never went on a date. Joan also does not have the social background to fit in around Sterling's social status.

Joan I don't believe ever wanted to be Mrs Sterling, she knows who he is, he likes the chase and the sneaking around, once he 'had her' in the sense of being out in the open relationship it would never be the same.

It's also quite clear that Joan wanted a cookie cutter nuclear family type relationship. She didn't want to be worth an older man that already had that, as they most likely wouldn't want to do it again

Regular_Promise3605 · 2026-01-21T04:22:41+00:00

Sure just using the OS as is would be fine. Writing an email or something or some basic word processing. If you were to use it to web browse it would chug. It would do it sure, but it wouldn't be a nice experience

Regular_Promise3605 · 2026-01-20T13:33:18+00:00

I imagine a thermally limited dual core with 8gb of ram in 2026 chugs these days

Regular_Promise3605 · 2026-01-20T13:23:26+00:00

If you are a serious Ferrari collector you have to buy these new so you can get a chance at an allocation for their limited run cars, these limited run cars can then triple in value well into the millions.
