Why Nothing Quite Compares to a Green Bentley Continental GT - Automobile
"I’ll just leave your fabulous car right here out front,” the long-haired bellhop/parking valet announced in an overly loud, eerily unironic way. I’d just pulled up outside the Hotel Indigo in St. Petersburg, Florida, in a Bentley Continental , this time a 2015 GT V8 S, finished in Apple Green, a psychedelic hue so retina-searing that I feared it had triggered a flashback of some sort in... As my 6-year-old son, Milo, worked to extricate himself from a safety seat (the one I’d earlier nearly crippled myself installing thanks to the Bentley’s none-too-spacious rear quarters and cruelly inaccessible tethering moors), onlookers stared... We’re eating locally tonight and won’t be needing the car. “I know how it goes, good sir,” he said in a tone at once knowing and officious, as if perhaps I was a mystery shopper working for the hotel’s owners who would report any failure to properly respect the Bentley’s majesty. He’d headed us off at the pass and insisted on parking it out front overnight. Meaning the Continental would be on display each and every night during our stay for the benefit of all who would pass by. Presumably with the idea they would conclude that the high rollers stayed here. And so that I would know how deeply the hotel valued my custom. And how did he know I didn’t want to keep things, you know, discreet. Source: www.automobilemag.com
