The Bentley Brooklands Was The Ultimate $400,000 Luxury Coupe

[admin]

THANKS TO RANCHO SANTA FE AUTOS! The 2009 Bentley Brooklands was a special car — and an ultra-luxury coupe.

[Oliver The MOG]

Poor car. Be a bit more careful Doug when leaning on the seats etc. Nice indents you left – @ 14:01 😉

[dannybflat]

Doug is the kind of Guy that used hand sanitizer since first grade…

[Faisal Ahmed]

It is a sweet machine. However, they missed few things like double glass windows, sunroof, crystal glass and of course the V12. Who knows!! Maybe they did it all.

[V.C.]

it doesn't just stab them 😀 😀 😀

4:08 I decided to Google "J. Edwin Holliday" and here's what showed up, his obituary:

J. Edwin Ed Holliday, passed away peacefully after a brief illness in Reno, NV on Friday, September 2nd. Ed Holliday was a Managing Director with L&S Advisors, a Registered Investment Advisory firm based in Los Angeles, CA.

Ed Holliday was born on December 24, 1943 in Fayetteville, WV. His father was a coal miner and later, a school bus driver. His mother was a census taker for the U.S. Government and owned a tea salon in town. After graduating from WV University, Institute of Technology, with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Ed took a job as an engineer with the Trane Corporation in Ohio.

A passion for aviation led Ed to a job offer selling airplanes in Colorado for Beechcraft Corporation. That, in turn led to his first job as a wholesaler for an oil & gas companys limited partnership. Ed moved with his wife and family to Orange County, CA in 1985. Over the next three decades, Ed enjoyed an enviable reputation as the consummate wholesaler to the financial services community. Ed was an active member, and for one term, the President of the Orange County chapter of the International Association of Financial Planners (IAFP).

In the mid 1990s, Ed was the National Sales Manager for ATEL Corporation, based in San Francisco, CA. In 1997, Ed left ATEL to join Campbell & Co., a managed futures firm and was there more than eleven years. Ed returned to the warmer climate of Laguna Niguel, which he loved.

In 2015, Ed moved to Reno, NV to be closer to his companion, Pamela and her family.

In addition to Eds passion for aviation and flying, Ed was a car nut and audiophile, loved to travel and was an adventurer, always curious about what was new in technology. Ed was a lifetime member of the L.A. & O.C. Audio Society, American Bonanza Society, and of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. Ed was a licensed pilot and flew his own Beechcraft plane. Ed was looking forward to being on the first Virgin Galactic space flight. Ed was a storyteller extraordinaire, starting with stories from his childhood in West Virginia through the many places he lived and traveled over the years. Ed loved to read, especially mysteries, and listened to books on tape as he crisscrossed the country on his business travels.

Ed had a joie de vivre that all who knew him will always remember. His goal was to make the world a better place for all he met and he quietly helped many people who will never forget his kindness.

Ed is survived by his two sons David Holliday, Jason Holliday and his wife Susan, and son, J.J. all of Hilton Head, SC, his four step-children, Russel Thompson of Palm Springs, CA, Michelle Thompson Arellano and family and brother Aaron, all of Salt Lake City, Utah. Eds parents and only sibling, Joan, predecease him.

Beautiful car, but the fact that a 400K dollar Bentley has less technology than my 30K dollar Ford from the same era is pathetic. What a ripoff that thing was!

[Voidka]

Man this thing is beautiful much more so than modern Bentley's with their insane creases everywhere

[AmraphelofShinar]

Who, I said who has been closing the door of the car by the window? Cars have door handles to open AND close the doors.

The tissue holder is there so you can cry in your car when the stock market crashes.

[swpdisciple]

That Naim stereo much be amazing for $7K. Especially since the head unit is an Alpine receiver. It better be F1 Status for that money.

[Mike Jones]

My favorite Bentley…I wish you could’ve picked another color to review 🤪

[N Par]

Dude, we wanted to see you full send at least once! What a rip. I wanted to see the thrust!

[Alyx]

"tissue holder is more important than a cup holder" they were really head of their time!

[ServiceInstaller]

RIP J. Edwin Holliday (1943 – 2016)

[Dank Memer]

12:11, a car that strongly encourages driver to drive with 1 hand. All we need now is a lotion holder.

[Israel De la Rosa]

That Dark Red color is called Burgundy

[Jesus Salas]

Looks like something from 1998, I was shocked when he said it was a 2009

[Neo Smith]

So I think I found the owner http://obituaries.register-herald.com/obituary/j-edwin-holliday-828396051 Sounds about right.

[Adam]

Tissue holder instead of a cup holder because you'll be crying when you see how much your car has depreciated

[Adam]

Doug's so famous now he's got SDPD providing security

[Leon Lalo]

THiiiis … 😄

[Mohammad Heydari]

Doug: I am the coolest guy on the road in this Brooklands. The 6*6 guy: passing buy paying no attention. (Me: Why I can’t go to the next line with iPad 😐)

[Yazan Sakran]

This car is like an elderly Doug; quirky and exciting, but older and more refined

[Kevin C]

We all know they put that tissue holder because Bently knew the owners would need them
when they started crying on how much money they would later lose selling the car.

[EveryDayIsDifferent]

Imagine this car with aftermarket airride and some polished lip wheels …

[jehnna sorsen]

Every time Doug kneels on gravel covered pavement I have PTSD flashbacks of that ONE time I knelt on a LEGO…
