*Gets hit with 5,000 pound Bentley *
“Well at least i didn’t get stabbed by the hood ornament “
the one thing that could end your suffering quickly, and they make it retractable..
Bentley got the hood ornament these days aswell.
It's not a ''stab'', it's a slash with the force of a 5,000 pound Bentley, and considerable speed.
Still better than getting hit by a Truck or SUV.
J Edwin Holliday died. RIP!
CNC Motors: Where's Doug? Put a supercar on the lawn, maybe he'll come.
Nah, he ditched them and the Brooklands and chased the 6x6 that drove past us!
Doug trap: a box with a stick holding it up, and a supercar underneath.
o'gara la jolla
Supercar? He's already driven most of them. Put a super rare and quirky Japanese van and he'll come.
Haha
“I love the styling” Also Doug: styling it gets a 6 out of 10
well.... it's a big bar o' soap with little in the style dept.
any 2 door coupe should have ceiling of 6/10 for styling anyway
😂 😂 😂 I know and how can he give it 6/10 for quality 😒 look up quality in the dictionary and you will see a photo of a Brooklands
I know how you gonna say love styling of a car then rate it a 6/10!!!!!!????????
@@ryanoliver5669 eh? Personally I'd say a 2 door cope has a higher than avarage chance of scoring over 6/10 Less doors means cleaner lines.
4:40 the most killer feature I wish every car had
Many cars do. My M240i convertible does. Maybe it's more of a convertible thing.
CNC MOTORS: „hello Police, we Need help, Doug Demuro is missing!!!“

I'm sure he could find a Brooklands like this at CNC Motors... (Shrugs In Doug)

He's probably liking that the beautiful car he had built is still appreciated for it's luxury.
He lived a long life

R.I.P. J. Edwin Holliday,
You lived an extravagant life my friend.
"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.

Financial services industry, and he bought this car at the height of the recession in 2009... yeah I guess that checks out.
@@lifeinhd4053 Ha. Totally. Great observation. Fuck that guy.
Moved in with a companion and her family in 2015 and was still married to Susan when he passed. I suspect Susan got everything and the companion Pamela got nothing.
I wonder how old his companion Pamela was, 23? Young go-getter.
43 now
I wonder if CNC Motors finally banned him.

Doug: I borrowed this car from Rancho Santa Fe autos...
CNC: You're cheating on us!?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOL such a cheater.
The Brooklands is THE best big body coupe in modern times. I love it. Built like a bank vault and a bargain today. This car was built to last and will always look amazing with the chopped roof and extra long wheelbase. Much better looking than the Phantom Coupe.
That low RPM redline is due to the fact that the V8 was taken out of a 1959 Bentley saloon. Of course,they fiddled with it for a bit but this is probably one of the longest serving V8s ever. It's last hurrah was with the last Bentley Mulsanne that rolled off the production line this year in Crewe, Cheshire. By the way, Bentley should build a successor to the Brooklands. Best ultra-luxury coupe I have seen ever. And if you thought Cadillacs were a yacht, wait till you see this cruiser.
I love how Doug gets super excited when he sees a cool car on the road, my mom used to scold me for distracting her every time there was anything from a corvette to Lamborghini in sight
In fairness, I'd double take at that!
SAME! Back when we lived in Indianapolis (7th grade?) and a new S class rolled by, I’d scream out something akin to ‘woah did you see that mercedes’?!’ Mom chided me that if that behavior continued she would likely kill us running off the road. #notdramaticatall

Now I do not have to buy the cars to enjoy. Ownership of a half dozen cars at once becomes a headache.
100% true!!
One of the most stunning grand coupes ever made 😍
I agree!
@@CarspottingInToronto Thanks! I own a more classic grand Coupe: a 1968 Mercedes 280SE Coupe. Big stylish coupes are a rarity.
@@kaydesign I saw a 1968 280SE Mercedes-Benz in Toronto just the other day! And I was talking to someone on the sidewalk about it and its a very unique car!
This and the convertible version. My friend asked me "what car would you get if you had all the money in the world" I said "2000s Bentley 2 door"
*gets in a minor fender bender*
“Welp, gotta replace the back up camera now”
And when you find a parking spot you have to run out and clean it before you back it in. Seems like the worst placement ever.
The $2'500 backup camera lol
Also the old Town Car used to have the backup camera like that.....Worst idea ever..
No-one tell Doug that the "tissue box" holder is actually a cup holder
...is actually TWO cup holders :-)
And the emblem retracts so that it cant be stolen, not so that it doesn't stab somebody. Lmao
The tissue holder makes sense if you target the Chinese market. Tissues in the car is very popular there.
Jon B. Joke’s on you
@@Jon.Edgar.Martin That is not true. At the time when the Brooklands was new, the flying B would only retract in an accident.

Best car channel on youtube. Doug doesn't try to push merch to his viewers like many other car youtube channels and he hasn't watered down his channel by releasing a video every day. love the cars and reviews.
The name is derived from the old British raceway. A replica of a "Brooklands racer" is mentioned in the classic 1973 novel Crash by J.G. Ballard, as being inside Colin Seagrave's garage.
Doug the type of guy to disagree with the terms and conditions.

I take it J. Edwin Holliday was doing fine during the recession.
😂he definitely was. $400 000 is a lot of money to spend during a recession.
Probably better than now. He died in 2016.
If you're old enough I'm sure it seems like a nice way to blow it.
Hes dead now.
$400k on a car during the depression! Well I bet one thing he wasn’t depressed after buying this pimp ride!
Love the ending. Doug has so many reviews, that it's such a strong likehood to see these car on the road
Doug, regarding the 6 position seat heater, yes, I could tell the difference in my friend's Jetta Wolfsburg. I always set it on level 4 or 5, depending on the outside temperature. 6 was too hot, 3 was okay for spring mornings, otherwise the 1 and 2 setting were too weak, but you could tell they were trying.
On another note, the Brooklands has been my favorite Bentley since it came out, before that was the Arnage. I am not the target demographic, by age or income or anything, but it's just so cool! I always thought with that much torque it would be fun to tow a boat with it, just to see people's reactions
4:12 RIP J. Edwin Holliday.
Dude seemed like a interesting guy. Partner in an investment firm, pilot, world traveler... Bought one of the first tickets for Virgin galactic.
Also just got done reading his obituary. It’s crazy to think you could own a car and it’s history goes way back to its original owner, who had their own life and their own experiences with that car before you’ve even seen it
$400k Bentley with a single-din head unit you can buy at Walmart
Pretty sad indeed yes
Guess that's why it's hidden behind that fancy panel...
look at the sticker price and it did have a Naim audio system worth an extra $6000! looks like someone took that out and left the crappy Alpine in it's place
Pretty good, you can update it now

Mr. Holliday passed in 2016. He apparently led an interesting life. I think I recall that the entire rear part of the car cascading onto the back of the car are were all made by hand and not machine stamped. I think it’s a cool car.
Old man Haliday knew how to live. Yes, the entire roof was welded by hand onto the Azure chassis. It took all day to do and the result is like a bank vault.
As a fan of the old Legend Coupes this car is another dream car. Large luxury coupes are awesome to drive. Come on who else agrees with me?

It's because they all are girls, as well.
#e46gang
He should wash his hands more often.
I didn't care about finger prints... Though that glass fully raised weren't that strong as now days... If you close door by slamming that glass, it's just waiting for that too strong breeze of wind. Press against too strong wind and glass shatters..
That drives me nuts too. Not so much fingerprints but it weaken the glass framework inside the door. Jay leno has done this a number of times in his videos and it makes me crazy because he should know better. Always close this type of door by pushing on the exterior handle.
Absolutely smashing review.
12:12 those are *cupholders* with *adjustable pegs* that allows for different sizes of cups
15:25 *two more cupholders* in the back, the *ashtray is removable* since it is less likely that people smoke then that they don't, but this car owner preferred to have an ashtray in there

@@v5k456jh3 To the same address where you will learn how to structure a sentence.
12:07 Believe it or not, that actually is a cupholder. I’ve used the same one in the back of a Volkswagen Passat. You’re supposed to put your cup on either side and the little “claws” are spring loaded and hold the cup firmly in place. Seems flimsy, but actually works well.
My theory is that Doug deliberately gets things like this wrong in order to get more comments. Nobody can actually be so fucking stupid as to get that wrong, especially not a "car guy" who does this for a living. And I've just helped his evil plan by replying too. Fuck you, Doug!
Rusty Petterson at first glance I can se why someone would think it’s a tissue holder though it’s not clear if The Whole thing lifts up for which would be needed to put a tissue box there. It makes since now that it just an unusual design for a cup holder. Can’t say whether Doug knew what it really was or not but I can see why someone might might not guess it’s a cup holder given its round tissue box top opening shape. The only red flag is the claws which wouldn’t be necessary for holding a tissue box.
@@Charlesb88 Doug has probably seen, discussed, and fondled more varieties of cup holders than anyone else on the planet. I refuse to believe he didn't figure this one out. Fuck you again, Doug. Haha.
The top gear review of this car is outstanding. Jeremy just roast the tires into oblivion. It’s so absurd
Stunning grace and effortless elegance. There's something really special about these older style Bentleys that is lost on models like the Bentayga or Cullinan. Wherever I go in life, I'll know I've truly arrived if one day it says "Brooklands" on the boot lid.

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.
dude i've been aiting for a review on one of these rare beauties for a long time!!!! it's the bently i'd wait to find and buy if i had the money , the body style is so timeless
videos like this that make me realize Doug's detailed overviews of these cars actually are a notable contribution to history. 200 years from now I hope someone watches this and appreciates that $2,500 backup camera and $5200 veneer.
1:05 Today I learned that people who buy coupes do so because they want a fixed roof instead of a convertible top. Thanks, Doug!
Well, yeah. Also, I find convertibles to be far less eye candy than their coupe counterparts
I would rather have my roof b able to go down
Bob The convertibles look ugly as fuck
That's my favorite car Doug's ever reviewed, I've watched this video a dozen times. I just love it. I'll probably never have one, but this car is magnificent! Not much technology, but every detail was carefully and thoughtfully made.
That's art.
Nice video best review you’ve done nice car
Last time I was this early, Doug still owned his Cadillac CTS Wagon
I said that once but worded it differently, so it is not copying
@@FujiwaraBunta hey William, go fuck yourself.
Fouad Uaali dude lol
**adds a fastback to reduce drag**
**has a square front acting like a parachute in the aerodynamics**
When you have this you have to drive slow to remind the peasants that you are in charge.
The latest technology doesn't make a car luxurious, it makes it convenient. The luxury is in the build quality, the leather seats, thick carpets and polished wood.

I use this phrase to accentuate certain points and arguments and it hasn't failed me so far

Doug ,you should tell more detail about those navigation screen . There are so many quirks in them.
It feels weird to be saying "in today's money" when talking about something from the late 2000s
U mean early 2000s

24:20 Lol what are the actual chances of seeing something like that?! A Brabus 6x6, that's even rarer than the Brooklands!!
WHAT?!? :D
Canelo's 6x6 I watched like 5 times in Mexico, it's outstanding in person...
Edeerock i always see that or his Bugatti chiron i just saw him leaving in it the other day at kettner exchange .
i just took a picture of myself in frankfurt in a car salon with a 6x6 and a 4x4 squared together,gigantic
Yet Doug has reviewed one
nice treat love these rare cars good one!
Looks like something from 1998, I was shocked when he said it was a 2009
haha yeah, this design goes back to the 1998 Arnage that this is a two-door version of
Love the cop sitting there just waiting for Doug to fire it up and show us how fast it is.

Doug, the type of guy to review a 2009 Bentley while everyone else is talking about the new C8 Corvette. I bet Doug still gets more views as well.
Unfortunately, I still think GM isn’t letting him review one, unless something has changed recently.
@@richdelgado3405 He has reviewed it already! So it should be on CZcams soon. He posted a shot on his Instagram :). It usually takes a month or so untill the reviews are up after filming since Doug has an upload schedule and always has some video's ready I think.
@@somedonkus69420 that’s good. I know GM was giving him the cold shoulder there for a while.
@@richdelgado3405 IIRC he was at an event where more reviewers got to drive it so I guess GM didn't care about him as much compared to some other reviewers. I haven't watched any reviews of the C8 because I want to see Dougs video first lol.
some donkus Got it. I just was The Straight Pipe’s review of it. They loved it, but they’ll love anything as long as it’s fast on launch. I’m beginning to really not like them anymore.

Just that particular special Vavona wood alone is the 5k option.... to get the EXTRA wood trim you have to look further down the list "Oak cross banding to picture frame inlay" and that's an additional $1,190
