Hi guys.. saw this car for sale and looks good but kind of pimp my ride looks.. and would think the ride would be very hard with those huge 22 inch boots and destroy the the whole Bentley experience...any thoughts would be appreciated... just click on current stock and click on bentley.. http://www.v12online.com

Looks mad but would rather spend the extra money on a newer car and probably the Mulliner too!

I like the lower ride height, but that's about it....

Just food for thought, the City where they are based is one of the most deprived in the Country with neither a manufacturing or service industry of any magnitude. Despite the almost total absence of any gainful employment though & the fact that far too many people rely on Her Majesties Government for their income, they still manage to produce abberations such as this.

Just wonder where the money comes from..............

Clearly drugs (which speaking of the same, would also exclude prostitution. On a Saturday night, the local chavettes cant give it away quickly enough).

Kahn's in Bradford. Mr Robbo's obviously from Leeds *spit* wink

There's ample wealth in Yorkshire to support Kahn's sports/supercar sales. While anyone in Manningham, with a decent car, probably isn't in the legitimate economy ('with a decent car' may be superfluous), I think people in Apperley Bridge, for example, would take umbrage at the suggestion they're all drug dealers or pimps.

The custom programme probably relies heavily on young Asian men who live with their parents, another pool of considerable legitimate disposable income.

Im absolutely amazed at some of the threads on this topic. To suggest that Kahn's main customer base are those with an illegitimate wealth because they are based in Bradford is both shocking and stereotypical to the extreme. T'up north there are a large number of people with their own businesses quite capable of affording prestige and supercars through perfectly legitimate business practices.
Let's also not forget Lord Brocket, from the south, who on the face of it seemed more legitimate than the Pope...
One final thought, in my current work in South London ive seen more modded Bentley than anywhere else in Britain - guess those crafty guys at Kahn must have opened up sales to the whole of the UK.

You're entirely correct - their main customer base are those completely devoid of taste or discerning.

True carubo360, but if you walk down the street in a 'full on' clowns costume, you can hardly be surprised if folks point and say "Look at the funny clown!".

Carubo360.

Since I do actualy live in Bradford, I was speaking from experience. On the occasonal day I take off work, the number of young men (late teens/early 20's) festooned with bling & driving around in X5's, Q7's & the like has to be seen to be believed & whilst I dont doubt that a few have rich parents, I can assure you that the majority are involved in what can only be described in the supply of man made substances !!

This is neither racist (not least because I havent said its restricted to a single demograph) nor prejudicial, its merely a state of affairs I have witnessed over many years (& frankly its getting worse to boot).

As an aside, Bradford is truly on its arse. High unemployment, low educational attainment, high number of single parents etc etc. Hardly the usual criteria for a succesful & booming City I think you'll agree ?

very true indeed -and apparaently they can afford such unaffordable cars is because they don't drink or smoke!nuts

Im from Bradford, and the sterotypes here are pretty narrow minded. Loads of Asian men run very succesful businesses...legitimately I hasten to add...in cluding myself...

I drive a 7 series alpina (genuine one!) and to you guys it may look like new money, but to me its just my very own pimp ride!
