Since its introduction as a 2006 model, the Bentley Continental Flying Spur has delighted the well-heeled with immense performance, supreme refinement, and seemingly boundless customization. Naturally, for 2009, Bentley has done to the Flying Spur what any rational ultraluxury brand would do-given it more performance, more refinement, more customization, and, at $180,395, more bottom line.That sum
Continental announced a couple of months ago that they will not merge with United, but now they are announcing that they will leave the SkyTeam alliance and joining the Star alliance! They are talking about a "customer friendly transition", but this pretty much means the end of the domestic code sharing with Delta/Northwest and the beginning of code sharing with United.

The continental portion of Middle America includes Mexico and Central America, which consists of seven small countries between Mexico and Colombia. Latin Americans, however, usually distinguish between Central America and Panama. The attitude has a historical basis. Panama was detached from Colombia in 1903 and continues to be regarded by many Latins politically and culturally as part of South American. Belize, independent from Britain only since September 1981, is culturally different from its neighbors. In addition, many Latin Americans regard Belize as having been unfairly seized from Guatemala by the British. Regardless of the Latin American custom, the term Central America as used in this book refers to all countries that lie between Mexico and Colombia. A useful geographical subdivis

The ink had only just dried on the deal between Delta Air Lines and Northwest, when it was suggested that it might be a good idea if Continental courted United. These marriages of convenience could well be the only thing that keeps the planes flying, but at what cost?United's flight attendants made it clear yesterday (Monday) that any deal better be in their best interests. "In the event we determine there exists a threat and not an opportunity for flight attendants, we will launch an aggressive campaign to derail any attempt to move forward with a merger that is harmful," Greg Davidowitch, president of the local chapter of the Association of Flight Attendants, said in a prepared statement.

The coupé made its debut at this week’s Geneva Motor Show, and is the work of coachbuilder Zagato, from Milan. The car started life as a Bentley Continental GT Speed, but you’re unlikely to confuse it with the standard model, thanks to a wide range of unique styling changes. From the front, its headlamps and massive mesh grille are pure Bentley, but the all-new bumper and long bonnet vents provide the hand-built Zagato-bodied version with a much more dramatic look. A pair of front foglamps and 10-spoke alloy wheels add to the visual impact.Traditional Zagato touches include a double-bubble roof and a neatly rounded tail. A host of functional parts have been carried over from the production car, but the slab-sided looks of the Continental GT have been dropped in favour of a much curvie

This may come as a bit of a surprise to anyone who's been following the agonizing bit-by-bit release of a number of concept cars in advance of the Geneva Motor Show,
but one Italian design studio has chosen to forgo the teasing and
release all the details of its show car all at once. In fact, we hadn't
heard anything about Zagato's coachbuilt Bentley since the initial report from last December, but the famed Milanese carrozzeria
has revealed that it will be unveiling the car at the show now only days away.
Called the Bentley Continental GTZ, following the familiar nomenclature last seen on the 2006 Ferrari 575 GTZ, Zagato's interpretation on the stately grand tourer manages to be instantly recognizable as both a Bentley and a Zagato design. Based on the effortlessly fast Continental G

The Bentley Continental GT is a grand tourer coupé with two doors and a 2+2 seating arrangement released in 2003, replacing the previous Rolls-Royce-based Continental R and T. It is equipped with a 6.0L, twin-turbocharged W12 engine producing 552 hp (412 kW), with a top speed of 195 mph (314 km/h). The Continental GT is built on the Volkswagen D platform. Largely, it could be considered a rebadged Volkswagen Phaeton with a different styling and a more powerful engine, most of the technical components being identical to those on the Phaeton.On the August 1, 2007, Bentley released details of a more powerful GT. Power is increased to 603 bhp/449kW (610 PS), with a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h) and a 0-60 mph time of 4.3 seconds. The Continental's weight is also reduced by 35 kg (77 lb). Mi
On their Continental Breakfast EP, Sir Salvatore (from San Francisco) dishes out some lazily kinetic indie rock that tastes a little like Chin Up Chin Up, Division Day, or even The Smiths. Not that Sir Salvatore really sounds anything like any of those bands, but you get the idea. I've heard their sound described as, "Tapes N' Tapes having an Oxford Collapse but rising like a Phoenix from The Cribs," whatever that means.This 5-song EP (their second) is a digital only release and a pretty damn strong overall effort full of (mostly) breezy jangle-pop with a hint of darker shades of fury lurking just beneath the surface. Sir Salvatore is engaging and memorable without being overly catchy. Their melodies dig and weave with a purpose and a motive that trumps just a simple memorable chorus.

Aaah. My Ansel Adams moment.At nearly 14,500 ft. above sea level, Mt. Whitney, the most frequently climbed peak in the Sierra Nevadas, provides a gorgeous backdrop to the charming little one-horse town of Lone Pine, CA. This is our second opportunity here, and this time with the fall colors and the snow coming in, our experience is even more breathtaking than the last.Looks familiar? Next time you cool off with a cold bottle of water, look closely at the label! Chances are you'll see the mountains above. Next to Mt.

Now you know how "refreshing" this place is!We camped in one of Lone Pine's finest RV park f
It's the most powerful production Bentley ever built - and the first to top 200mph! The 600bhp GT Speed, with 48bhp more than the standard car, sprints from 0-60mph in 4.3 seconds. And, with 750Nm of torque available from only 1,750rpm, in-gear acceleration from the twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre W12 is stunning; the 50-70mph dash takes just 2.3 seconds, and the Speed feels more driver-focused and urgent than before. The accurate steering is still light on feedback, and there's a tendency for the speed to deviate off line under full power. But overall it feels more involving than ever. Although the uprated and lowered suspension has undoubtedly made the ride firmer, softer anti-roll bars mean the Bentley never feels uncomfortable.Added to the Continental line-up above the standard GT, the GT Speed is defined by a lower and wider front air intake and a squarer, more upright grille. Larger tailpipes and 20-inch wheels also mark intent. The self-levelling air suspension is lowered, whi

The program allows passengers to receive boarding passes electronically, and then present bar codes on the screen to be scanned by TSA security officers at the checkpoint.
