Hi all. On my last trip to Alice Lake B.C., spotted a few old Bentleys in Squamish. Had a short chat with one English fellow about his '30 something Bentley. Found out these people had come from all over the world to drive their pride-and-joys to Alaska! http://www.bentleyalaska.com/ The idea of these dedicated owners taking a bunch of Bentleys to Alaska was kind of a thrill from my POV. After heading toward Whistler, I spotted another one and followed him to Brandywine Falls. Found yet some more Bentleys. I tried not to plague them with too many questions. <grin> Didn't manage to get to their AM meet at Whistler the next day, but got some pics none the less. Of note, found it curious that the '30's Bentley has a servo for the brakes, yet the brakes are entirely mechanical. Makes sense, just, well very different!
