			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bentley Motors has manufactured some of the finest, most luxurious, and most pricey motor vehicles in the entire history of motor cars. These cars have been highly prized by the affluent, and lately have become popular icons due to being the favorite car of some of the most popular super stars. But while Bentley continues to be recognized for manufacturing high-end luxury vehicles, they are also renowned for convertibles that meet the needs of the younger, more trendy group. These <a target='_blank' href="http://motorclassic.org/bentley-convertible/">Bentley convertibles</a> have pushed <a target='_blank' href="http://motorclassic.org/bentley-sales/">Bentley sales</a> to new levels in recent times.</p>
<p>One of the more popular of the convertible models that have come from this automaker is the Bentley Continental Convertible. This auto initially showed up back in 1984, and was manufactured until 1995. It was equipped with a V8 engine from Rolls Royce that, over time was enhanced and made to be even larger and have more power. Additionally in the course of its lifespan, the automobile would come to encounter slight changes in its look and performance. These included developments in the bumpers and body paint, and modifications to its instrument cluster consoles, fixtures, and engineering by way of the inclusion of anti-lock brakes and rubberized bumpers.</p>
<p>The latest Continentals also had a convertible variation. Bentley&#8217;s Continental GT had a convertible counterpart referred to as the Flying Spur, which was first presented in 2003. It was loaded with a 6-litre 12 cylinder massive motor that was able to put out 552 bhp, pushing this beast from 0-60 mph in under five seconds. Some of its different versions, including the Continental GTC, and the GT Supersports versions, were also produced as convertibles, and all of them shared the initial Continental GT&#8217;s gigantic and impressive motors, sophisticated and glamorous interior design, and sporty yet elegant bodies.</p>
<p>Bentley GT convertible automobiles are, currently, among the most well-liked and most costly convertibles on the market. They&#8217;re the number one choice of luxury vehicles for athletes, celebrities, and business owners the world over.</p>
<p>They are the top symbol of prosperity, power and prestige.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dealing with Breitling watches daily, I often get customers interested in Breitling&#8217;s history.  Here is an outline of the  history of the Breitling company.</p>
<p>1884: In St-Imier, the Jura mountains of Switzerland, Leon Breitling opens a workshop specializing in the making  chronograph pocket watches and precision counters for scientific and industrial purposes.</p>
<p>1892  The young captain of industry created the watch factory G LEON BREITLING SA, MONTBRILLIANT WATCH FACTORY at  LA CHAUX DE FONDS Leon Breitling relocates in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the center of Swiss watchmaking of the day.</p>
<p>1914: Leon Breitling dies. His son Gaston Breitling takes over the company. Gaston Breitling joined the family firm. Death of his father LEON. 1915: During WWI, Wide Recognition of fast advancements in aviation/need for a precision timepiece for that purpose,  Gaston introduces the first wrist-watch chronograph providing pilots with the first Breitling wristwatch.</p>
<p>The Year 1923: Breitling develops the first independent chronograph push piece. Start and return to zero functions had previously  been controlled using the winding-crown.</p>
<p>Then in 1923: Breitling develops the first independent chronograph push piece. Start and return to zero functions had previously  been controlled using the winding-crown.  Gaston Breitling inherited a passion for chronographs and systematically works to make the family firm a success story. A special edition, patented with the name VITESSE, was a huge success with the police: it enabled them to time drivers  breaking the speed limit.  Moving with the times and fashion, BREITLING accelerated the development and production of  wristwatches with chronograph functions.</p>
<p>In 1932  Willy Breitling, son of Gaston Breitling, becomes head of the Breitling business. Willy takes over for his father as the head of the company.</p>
<p>1934: Breitling develops a watch with a second return to zero push piece. This invention, made it possible to measure  several successive short times with an added function using the first push piece, and gives the wrist chronograph its  definitive form.</p>
<p>In 1936  Launched a <a target='_blank' href="http://theinternetbiz.com">Breitling chronograph</a> for aircraft cock pits.</p>
<p>The Year 1942  Launch of the CHRONOMAT BREITLING, the first watch chronograph equipped with a log scale calculator.</p>
<p>1952  Launch of the BREITLING NAVITIMER with optimized calculator function. Breitling created the Navitimer, a wrist instrument equipped with the famous &#8220;navigation computer&#8221; capable of handling  many if not all calculations called for by a flight plan. This &#8220;super&#8221; chronograph quickly becomes a favorite among  pilots all around the world.</p>
<p>1962: Astronaut Scott Carpenter wears the Cosmonaute chronograph during his orbital flight aboard the Aurora Seven space  capsule.  This was the Launch of the COSMONAUT, with a 24 hour rather than 12 hour single circuit of this dial.</p>
<p>BREITLING chronograph (Cosmonaut) goes into space; worn by astronaut Scott Carpenter on board the AURORA 7 capsule.</p>
<p>The Year 1969  The brand that used above all, VENUS launches in its mechanical non automatic hand-wound models, was one of the pioneers of  the automatic chronograph developed in collaboration with HEUER-LEONIDAS and HAMILTON-BREN. With a combined DUBOIS-DEPRAZ  chronograph module, they created the micro-rotor Chrono mat. Breitling introduces the self-winding chronograph. This technical feature represents a breakthrough for all of the Swiss watches industry.</p>
<p>1979: Ernest Schneider, from SICURA took over the Breitling firm and registered it under the name MONTRES BREITLING S.A. in  GRANGES.</p>
<p>The Year 1983  This was the year of the Creation of the GMT NAVITIMER. Launch of Eric Tabarly products as well.</p>
<p>In 1985  The END OF LIFE system for divers was created (this piece reaches depths of 3300 feet/1000 meters). Launch of the NAVITIMER CHRONOMAT which dramatically increases <a target='_blank' href="http://theinternetbiz.com">Breitling prices</a>.</p>
<p>The Year 1987  Launch of the WORLD model with indicator for four different time zones.</p>
<p>The Year 1988  Launch of the J-CLASS model specially developed for yachting enthusiasts.</p>
<p>1999  Certification and Control for chronometre norms. BREITLING backed the project of the Swiss and British team, Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones, who completed the first  non-stop round the world trip by hot air balloon, landing on March 21st after a flight lasting 20 days.</p>
<p>  2003  At the Int&#8217;l Automobile Salon in Geneva, Switzerland BREITLING presented 2 brand new models in association with the  BENTLEY model.  Breitling was BENTLEY&#8217;S partner at the Le Mans 24 hour race.</p>
<p>I hope this time line has been interesting to Breitling enthusiasts of all ages and backgrounds around the world.  In the future I hope to update the time line to reflect 2004-present.</p>
<p>Cyndi Whittel was a <a href="http://theinternetbiz.com">Breitling</a> enthusiast at an early age. She was raised in Northeast Illinois. She is now living in Northwest Montana in city named Kalispell. She, her husband a two energetic children collect <a href="http://theinternetbiz.com">Breitling watches</a> and raise horses at their 1100 acre ranch.</p>

<div><em><strong>Albert Smithston</strong> asked: </em></p>
<p>Between 1924 and 1930, Bentley won the famous Le Mans 24 Hours race five times. This was the era of the legendary Bentley Boys. As a partner to the British car manufacturer, Breitling has chosen to mark the occasion by issuing a limited series dedicated to this top-level competition.</p>
<p>Gifted sportsmen, genuine amateurs and high-spirited ladies&#8217; men, the Bentley Boys raced primarily for honor, fired by a taste for challenges. For four consecutive years, from 1927 to 1930, they won the race in great style. Their names were &quot;Benjy&quot; Benjafield, a Harley Street doctor; Tim Birkin, the best British driver of the period; Sammy Davis, chief editor of The Autocar magazine; Bernard Rubin and Glen Kidston&#8230; But the most famous of all was Woolf Barnato, a multimillionaire South African diamond merchant. This flamboyant figure, who did much to establish the legend of the Bentley Boys in the public imagination,won the Le Mans 24 Hours race three years in a row. In 1928, he came first with Rubin. In 1929 with Tim Birkin at the wheel of a Speed 6, he dominated the race from start to finish, scarcely rivaled by a ********* of 4.5 Litre Bentleys driving a hundred or so kilometers behind them. In 1930, he won an historic triumph for his last race.</p>
<p>An ultra-exclusive chronograph</p>
<p>To celebrate its presence alongside Team Bentley, replica watch has chosen to issue a chronograph dedicated to this legendary race. The Bentley Le Mans chronograph is a limited edition of 1,000. It is powered by a selfwinding movement with 24-hour display, an allusion to the length of the race. This original and exclusive mechanism &uml;C Breitling Caliber 22 &uml;C also has a Flyback function. In another aesthetic reference to the Le Mans 24 Hours race, the engine-turned surface of the bezel is inspired by the dashboard finish of the Bentleys which won the race five times between 1924 and 1930: the 3 Litre Bentleys, the 4 1/2 Litre, the 4 1/2 Blowers and the Speed 6.</p>
<p>Inspired by motor-racing, the Bentley Le Mans chronograph is equipped with a variable tachometer, another exclusive Breitling replica watch feature. Used in conjunction with the chronograph, this device enables one to measure average speed, whatever the time elapsed, the distance covered or the speed reached. In much the same way as a slide rule, the variable tachometer is activated by the rotation of the outer bezel, which drives a pinion and arbor acting on the inner bezel. This clever mechanical solution guarantees precise read-off of the measured speeds. The Bentley Le Mans chronograph is an imposing 48.7 mm in diameter, making it the largest of all Breitling chronographs.</p>
<p>However, thanks to its ingenious construction, it can adapt to most wrist sizes: a hollowed recess in the case enables the bracelet to swivel freely on its axis to ensure a perfect fit on the wrist. In addition to the limited series of 1,000 in steel, this collector&#8217;s chronograph also comes in a yellow gold version, issued in three series of 24 worldwide. The silhouette of the Bentley Speed 8 appears on the back of each case.</p>
<p>Bently Le Mans</p>
<p>Movement: Breitling replica watch Caliber 22, chronometer-certified, selfwinding high-frequency (28,800 vibrations per hour), 38 jewels. 24-hour display. 1/4th of a second chronograph, 30-minute and 12-hour totalizers, Flyback function. Calendar. Case: limited series of 1,000 in steel and 3 limited series of 24 in 18K yellow gold. Water-resistant to 330 ft (100 m). Screw-locked crown. Rotating pinion bezel with variable tachometer: Diameter: 48.70 mm Straps/bracelet: leather, crocodile leather, buffalo leather/ Speed bracelet.</p>

<div><em><strong>CJ Carter</strong> asked: </em></p>
<p>The Bentley Continental Flying Spur comes equipped with more then it’s fair share of goodies. A Bluetooth-enabled, hands free cell phone is standard inside of the Flying Spur. As an option a rear telephone can also be included. These days as with most luxury cars, the navigation system is accessed through a DVD. The rear seats even have fold out tables, as if they were airline passengers.</p>
<p>Just like the Continental GT, the Flying Spur is armed with a twin turbo 6.0 liter W12 engine. W12 is always good. We love it especially when it is pumping out 552 hp at the wheels. Plus all that power is commanded by a six speed automatic transmission that can be controlled through the shift knob or the floppy paddle gear box located behind the steering wheel. To some people the Flying Spur is akin to an agile large athlete. It’s a huge 4 door sedan, but it is nimble at the same time. It’s equipped with all wheel drive as well as innovative braking systems which are combined with electronically controlled suspension.</p>
<p>Eleven cow hides are butchered every time a Bentley Flying Spur is completed. Along with cowhide, wood and aluminum go into the make-up of the Flying Spurs interior. As an option, the rear seat of the flying spur can be configured with a rear console. The console is designed so that someone being driven can access rear climate control as well as seat adjustment, which includes a lumbar massage feature. Both seating aisles have heated and cooling functions. Topping everything off, Breitling designed an analog clock for the center console of the Flying Spur.</p>
<p>The Bentley Flying Spur is a bold statement. It’s elegant, stately and daring all at the same time. It has a ferocious engine, and a sheer elegant silhouette. It is what a luxury car should be.</p>

<div><em><strong>Benjamin Hudson</strong> asked: </em></p>
<p>Bentley, Volkswagen Group&#8217;s British luxury vehicle brand proved that the Continental GT is really a high-performance grand tourer coupe. The Bentley Continental GT made a record-breaking attempt early this March when it runs on the frozen sea in Finland reaching a top speed of about 200 mph, breaking the current world ice speed record set by a Bugatti EB110 Supersport, which was also made in the same Finnish location. Aboard the Bentley Continental GT is the popular Finnish rally car driver and four-time World Rally Champion, Juha Kankkunen.</p>
<p>Kankkunen was so proud of his achievement and said: &#8220;The Bentley performed impeccably. I was amazed how stable and secure it felt at these high speeds, despite the track&#8217;s rough and icy surface being scattered with powdery snow. I even managed to stop the car from its top speed within 600 metres.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn, Member of the Board of Bentley Engineering, also commented:</p>
<p>&#8220;Juha&#8217;s record-breaking achievement is just what we&#8217;ve come to expect from some of our more adventurous owners. It shows that the spirit of the famous Bentley Boys lives on and is still harnessed by drivers with sufficient skill and courage to extract the full potential of our motor cars in extreme conditions &#8211; though, naturally, we would not recommend our other owners try to attempt such high speeds on sheet ice!&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Juha Kankkunen, along with his team went to the location and endured the 30 degrees Celsius</p>
<p>of low temperature. Kankkunen drove on to the thick ice and his team measured the rally car&#8217;s speed. After the record-breaking success, he and his team checked the Continental GT and Kankkunen decided to once again attempt to increase his acceleration and make a higher recorded speed. He continued attempting to achieve a top speed of 206 mph for few days before realizing that accelerating that much is impossible because of terrain factors like rough track, and snow covered areas.</p>
<p>Before the actual record attempt, Bentley made some few technical modifications on the Continental GT to cope up with extreme low temperature in the area and for some safety reasons. A roll cage was installed on the vehicles along with special snow tires to obtain maximum grip and traction when driving into the slippery and snowy track. Bentley retained the powertrain features but during the record breaking attempt, the rally car runs on a non-standard fuel to suit the low temperature condition at the location.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Bentley Continental GT grand tourer coupe is equipped with a monstrous 6.0L W12 engine under the hood featuring twin turbochargers. It is coupled with a six speed automatic transmission with steering wheel mounted gearshift paddles powering the all-wheel-drive configuration. The grand tourer coupe also comes with standard quality Bentley parts from Volkswagen, just like those VW Corrado parts for the VW hatchback model.</p>

<div><em><strong>Paul Fitzgerald</strong> asked: </em></p>
<p>The lure of Las Vegas is universal. Movie actors and actresses, big time business tycoons, and even royalty are drawn to the city&#8217;s promise of fun and excitement. There, they can opt to spend fortunes on gaming tables, the most beautiful suites, or the most exciting shows. But most of us only go to Vegas with just enough money for a couple of nights of fun and relaxation. We don&#8217;t spend money equivalent to our mortgage payments on a night at the Strip. So what should we do to make our vacation at the Sin City a memorable and exciting one?</p>
<p>Aside from choosing the right hotel, going to the best shows, or spending money at the casinos, the Las Vegas experience also includes driving around the city and drinking in the sights in the car of your choice. There&#8217;s no problem in this, being that Vegas is a big city that offers limitless options when it comes to renting a car. You can choose an exotic car, a luxury car, a sports car ,or a classic car to rent for you and your companions. However, if you really want to make your experience memorable, then drive a car that royalty drive and feel like a royalty yourself. Drive a Bentley.</p>
<p>Bentley Motors Limited is a company that manufactures luxury vehicles, most of those have become classic cars over the years. Most Bentley cars have figured prominently in media, such as in James Bond novels and even the famous The Avengers television shows.</p>
<p>But Bentley&#8217;s highest honor comes with the fact that it is a Royal Warrant Holder given by the British Royal Family. This means that Bentley exclusively supplies the Royal Family&#8217;s cars and that Bentley has the right to advertise this information. In fact, as recently as 2002, Bentley was commissioned to build Queen Elizabeth II&#8217;s state car, or the car she uses for official purposes, which is called the Bentley State Limousine.</p>
<p>What better way to cruise Las Vegas but in a car that has the stamp of royalty in it? There are hundreds of rental car companies in Las Vegas that would provide you with a number of options when it comes to Bentley cars, may it be classic, exotic, luxury or sports. The fact that the Bentley company has the approval of one of the most powerful royal families in the world is a testament to the company&#8217;s excellent craftsmanship when it comes to producing elegant, dependable cars.</p>
<p>So when in Las Vegas, make sure to drop by car rental companies. Look at their selection of classic, exotic, luxury, or sports cars. If your taste veers towards the more sophisticated, a car that would give you the feeling of refinement and taste while cruising down Vegas&#8217; streets, then the choice is obvious. A Bentley is the car for you.</p>
