"Now, that BENTLEY is in a whole 'nuthur category entirely! Outrageous comfort - and it STILL performs! But it's a totally different kinda performance than the other cars."
Completely agree.
The Bentley is fun, I recently bought the convertible, but it's an entirely different car to the Ford GT. It's quick, but that's not what it's for - it's for wafting around the South of France in (which is what I'll use it for). The Ford is for squirting and giggling - it's much more fun to drive. And, as stated so many times here, the Ford is eye-wateringly beautiful, the Bentley is a luxury brick in comparison.
I don't pull the Bentley out of the garage and just look at it - nice though it is. The Ford is art on wheels with the additional benefit of a performance to match.
Good luck in your quest - I have a 2005 Ford, 1500 and something from memory. 5,000 miles on the dials and no problems. I changed the halfshaft bolts before anything happened, added a transaxle cooler (thanks Dave), added a vent breather (thanks Roushe), added the aluminium coil covers (thanks Eric).
