All the pictures are to die for, more so those of the Continental Super Sports. The graphite paint finish look terrific, the back and red interiors are lovely and those awesome subtly-smoked taillights oozes class and aggression at the same time. I am not able to stop looking at it even in pictures and something in me says that it is either this Super Sports or the Continental GT that has entered your family. Now, don't keep us guessing for so long, break the suspense Manuuj! |
Just a little more buddy ..as you will see suddenly there is a new entrant in the fray, a dark horse..The Continental Flying Spur

Consider these as questions and observations from a phlistine and a barbarian:
1. Kitna deti hai ?
2. Kitne ki hai ? Model-wise.
3. Are the diesel versions coming ?
4. Do they have anti cardiac arrest pills in the first aid kit. For times when you are driving any one of these in the busy cities of Mumbai/ Delhi etc and competing with autos and taxis (kaali-peeli only pliss !)?
And do think of the number of Toyota-Fortuners you could have bought with just one of these and the high end TFT Service you could have started. Yeah - Toyota Fortuner Taxi Service !
Congratulations !
I do see your white Toyota Fortuner through the large glass pane in the tail view snap of the yellow Lamborghini. So the moral of the story - to get any of these fancy cars - you'll first need to earn a Toyota Fortuner to gain respect/respectability ! |
Genereal Saáb!!' Welcome to the thread. I must say here that i have honed my writing skills by reading your superb thread on the TOGO channel.
To answer you Q's..
1. Yeh deti nahin Leti hai. (Mods please excuse the crassness this one time)
2. Lets the only figures we discuss be BHP/ wheel Sizes/ torque/ 0-100 figures etc. Lets just say all the 4 cars were between 2 to 3.
The Brooklands is for over 4 originally. But as this was a used (1600 km?) model it had depreciated significantly and was within striking range. Also it would be worth about 5 in about 8-10 years and will only go up in value once the next Brooklands is launched 14 years from now.
3. No diesels but i did ask if i could retrofit a CNG kit.. (kidding)
4. NO worries with traffic so far. It seems to part for the beauty.
5. Fortuners as Taxis?? Sacrilegious!!.
..and you are right that is my Fortuner outside.

Yes Dkaile you are right about the drool factor and every other factor that denotes a heightened state of emotion.
The Price as i said is between 2-3 OTR for all the cars above.

Ah, again! Just when I thought that it's going to be the Continental GT, you bring this in. Is that the Continental Flying Spur? The Flying Spur is one of my most favorite luxury sedans in the world and the one for which I would do anything just to sit inside and drive. |
Not just any Continental Flying Spur my friend..Continental Flying Spur
Speed which means its lighter and faster than a regular Flying Spur.

Thank you Traveloholic for the praise. Even i thought we were close to the climax but in reality we were in a right fix yet again. Another night would pass before we would finally make that final choice.
Now it was between 4 door or 2 door..
Both cars were very powerful and very good looking. Both were refined and comfortable..though the Flying Spur was more practical with acres of leg room and the convenience of 4 doors.
A test drive was taken and the reappearance of ducking policemen and nervous sales executives confirmed my worst fears. We were stuck again.
Even the color was the same..so no hiding behind that as a reason for rejecting it.
All the women of the family were for the Continental Flying Spur now..
To be continued...
