Hi everyone, first post. This is my first attempt at a car review; I know the owner and he let me have a go at this one morning last month. Hope people like it.

Nice review you've pretty much covered the every single feature of this car.
It has more wood than my Phantom Coupe' interior. I've got the silver/titanium finish where the speedo is located and on the steering wheel.

Thanks!
The next time I go back I'll probably try the same thing with his Ghost and Bentley GT Supersports.
Sounds cool, I'd love to see that.
The owner previously had a regular 4-door Phantom sedan and it's interesting how the dash is very similar among the Phantoms --you see the same similarity between the Bentley CFS and GT/GTC.

Here is a picture, its a 2011 in English White/Steel Bonnet over Consort Red with Burr Walnut veneer.
I like the coupe but the drophead is a close second, the early one's didnt get the dual exhaust visible option ( I personally think it looks better with the visible exhausts)

Nice review, looking forward to the others!
My two recommendations are to use a tripod for the wide shots, and a steady cam filter for the others, just to make it cleaner. The other is to use an external mic, as you voice occasionally trailed out and was difficult to hear at max volume.
Just two simple things, but they will offer huge improvements to the quality.
oh and

Wow, very slick --I like it.
Yeah, I was using the video option on a small regular (still) camera. I didn't realize I put my thumb on the mic during that one portion.

Just wanted to add a photo or two:
Here's the same car on a little drove I took it along PCH (Pacific Coast Highway, or CA Hwy 1). This is by Point Mugu in Malibu.
I know I could've framed it better but it was hard to climb up those rocks in a pair of boots! (also the dirt rises to a mound along the edge which is hard to see from that angle)
Here's the same car in a really fun curvy canyon road I like in the Central Valley of CA:
I have some other similar Canyon shots of a few other nice cars.
