2002 Bentley Arnage Red Label on HWY 2222

Written by Ken Altes

Red signifies performance models for Bentley. This is probably a 2002 with its reworked Rolls Royce engine originally created in 1959 from GM engine designs, and uses a GM four speed auto.  Massive V8 at 6.75 liters, fuel injected giving 400 hp and 619 pound-feet of torque to move this 5500 lb. luxury express to a 5.9-second 0-to-60 time, and 155 mph tops.

Juliann’s Modified 3 Series BMW Wagon

Written by Ken Altes

Love Juliann’s car that she modified to roughly M3 specs. She is an experienced and busy race car mechanic, and she likes beer — met her at Black Sheep on S. Lamar.

Smart Roadster Coupe Speeding on 183 Near 620

Written by Ken Altes

I had not seen this car before, had to chase it down to get these pics. Turns out that a bunch of these were built about ten years ago but the run was stopped because the average warranty cost was about $5000, some or a lot of  it because the roofs leaked. More power and longer than the common FourTwo Smart cars. Learn more at wikipedia.
