[edit] Bentley Wallpapers

Hello, I have some high quality Bentley Arnage wallpapers on my site at http://www.cartitans.com/Bentley/index.php - is it appropriate to add links to the wallpapers in the External Links area for each particular model?

Thanks,

The term 'rolling in your Bentley' should probably be mentioned. -Jeshii 23:42, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Feel free to improve the article! —Morven 05:49, Aug 28, 2004 (UTC)

Wikipedia can be an amazing source of news. I live in Crewe, where the Bentleys are produced and saw User:NetguruDD's edits of 4 Oct 2004, and nearly reverted them as they seemed preposterous. Although they are not entirely correct, especially with regard to where Bentleys are manufactured, the Crewe Chronicle reports on 6 Oct 2004 that it's proposed to produce the new 4-door version of the Continental GT in Dresden, though the 2-door stays in Crewe (and as far as I know the bodies are produced here and not in Germany!). -- Arwel 00:24, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Template

The "WWII" part of the road car timeline is not showing up due to the black cell color. Shawnc 12:06, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Changed to white for now. Shawnc 12:07, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] VW thought they were buying Rolls-Royce

Surely it ought to be mentioned that VW intended to buy Rolls-Royce, not just Bentley, but BMW were able to withdraw the name rights to RR after the sale had been made, due to a technicality owing to their Rolls Royce-BMW jet engine joint venture. It was something of a blunder for VW, even if, at the end, all ended well. ProhibitOnions 00:59, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bentley Motors styling studio

Hello

This is a link to an article about the developments in Bentley Motors styling studio, which you might like to include as an external link. http://www.machines4sale.co.uk/index.php?story=12&archieve=1&page=1

I hope you find it of interest. Best regards Richard Mortimer 80.189.82.146 12:40, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to post this, it is interesting (does this mean they'll be getting any cheaper..?) but I'm fairly sure it falls foul of the encyclopedia guidelines on external links, due to its concentration on one aspect of the production process, specifically the software being utilized. Too much advrtising, and it will just end up being removed. Posting it here was the right thing to do. mikaul^talk 10:38, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bankrupt Bentley

Anybody know the price Rolls paid? Trekphiler 16:45, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
