Purple Bentley Continental GTC in HR Owen, London


Purple Bentley Continental GTC (Convertible) in purple at HR Owen, London! The purple colour may look great on clothes, coats and some cases with shoes, however a purple car is something that you cannot see everyday life. There are some reasons for that, firstly car manufacturers do not offer purple and you cannot prefer this colour. Secondly, some cars were offered in purple but it wasn’t the perfect choice for second value and the quality of the paint was not that good.

However, when the case is Bentley the rules of the game are different. Bentley clients are not extremely sensitive second hand value. Thus, those people are not bothered with the colour of their car by the second hand value. This segment is focused on bespoke vehicle, not mass production!

So, the purple Bentley Continental GTC offers the perfect uniqueness during the summer time. Despite the fact that, it is really hard to drive a car topless in UK but many people love to buy open top cars, just to enjoy the few days of sunshine in whole year.

My person opinion about this purple Bentley, it does look good! I am serious on this, purple colour does not look that shinny or disturbing, the tone of the colour so well defined.  And also that’s a Bentley Continental GTC V8! 4-lt V8 twin-turbo petrol engine with 507 HP and 660 Nm of torque and the engine is coupled with 8-speed automatic gearbox, which is capable of jumping gears up and down beyond your imagination. GTC V8 only needs 5 seconds to reach 100 km/h and top speed is not! It is 301 km/h. I really don’t know why it is 301 km/h instead of 300 km/h.

This is car has the same colour in Bentley footage, which you can watch on HR Owen’s website!

Father's Day Gift Ideas from Montblanc


Father’s day is approaching and here some ideas from Montblanc, before it was too late. The first gift idea starts with Montblanc Meisterstück 149 (£535), the very classic and timeless design of Montblanc fountain pen. If you are looking forward for something more special, here is the Patron of Art 2013 Ludovico Sforza LE4810 (£1765). This is a limited edition from Montblanc, so if you are looking for something unique Patron of Art 2013 is a great opportunity.

If you are looking for a watch, Montblanc Star Chronograph UTC Automatic (£3250) and TimeWalker Voyager UTC (£2600) models are to satisfy different tastes. Star Chronograph offers more traditional design with chronograph function, Timewalker Voyager offers the contemporary modern style with sport details.

One of the best gift idea is an iPhone 5 case, as the iPhone 5 is very fragile to defects, it would be a great idea to buy Montblanc iPhone 5 case (£139) with a great price incentive, and also available in both black and white colours.

If you are not satisfied only with an iPhone 5 case, you may go for the Meisterstück Breifcase for £750! The quality of the leather and craftsmanship of this briefcase is stunning. And lastly, you can complete the set by Meisterstück leather wallet (£235: Black).

In some cases, leather goods do not match with the father’s expectation, so here is a very unique and exquisite piece from Montblanc, Signature for Good Collection Bangle and Cufflinks (£275: Bangle, £380). These pieces are the reflection of Montblanc’s attention to details and very precise craftsmanship.

New Ford Kuga Test Drive


Ford Kuga test drive. Usually, I don’t take cars for a test drive but I was very curious about the new Ford Kuga. The one I took for a test drive was a Ford Kuga Titanium spec, 1,6-lt four-cylinder EcoBoost petrol engine with 180 HP and 240 Nm of torque. Kuga was offered with a double clutch automatic gearbox, Powershift. 

Ford Kuga is an all-wheel drive SUV, it is not a hard core off road vehicle but thanks to recent update on their drive train, Kuga is capable coping with some off road experience. Vehicles are like Kuga, small size SUVs are great to cope with adverse weather condition. With winter tyres, you will never ever have a problem with Kuga and you won’t be experiencing the cost of running a huge SUV. 

Titanium spec Kuga had the Active Park Assist (Car parks by itself), blind spot warning, lane keeping aid with steering wheel adjustment, auto high beam control, traffic sign recognition, driver impairment monitor (If you sleep, Kuga can detect it). The lane keeping aid with steering wheel adjustment, adjusts the steering wheel when you are heading to the other lane. You can feel the steering wheel moving by itself, but if you take your hands off the steering wheel the systems stops and Kuga starts beeping! Another nice feature was the foot operated boot, when you have the Kuga with keyless access you can open the boot by moving your foot under the boot. Very practical.

The two-zone automatic climate control is a bit weird, you can not have a huge temperature differences on different zones, unlike other brands. I really don’t know why the Ford did not offer a proper independent two-zone climate control.

The interior of Kuga is really ergonomic and production quality fulfils your expectations. Only the navigation screen is quite small for nowadays vehicle. Ford should have offered a bigger size screen, nowadays these technology are really affordable and not that expensive. 

The handling of Kuga is excellent. Ford always offered benchmark handling for their vehicles and with Kuga you have the same, also torque vectoring features reduces the under steers and over steers.

Overall, Kuga worth its price but never go for the basic version. Because, you will get a car with no features, it will be so plain. Go for a high spec model! And 1,6-lt petrol engine is way better you expected. And double clutch gearbox works seamlessly but Kuga does not offer paddle shifts on the steering wheel, they are placed on the gear lever, which is a bit weird.
