Bentley Motors Limited is a British manufacturer of automobiles founded on 18 January 1919 by Walter Owen Bentley (known as W.O. Bentley or just "W.O."). Mr. Bentley had been previously known for his range of rotary aero-engines in World War I, the most famous being the Bentley BR1 as used in later versions of the Sopwith Camel. Since 1998, the company has been owned by the Volkswagen Group of Germany.

Before World War I, W.O. Bentley had been in partnership with his brother H.M. Bentley selling French DFP cars, but he had always wanted to design and build his own range of cars bearing his name. In August 1919, Bentley Motors Ltd. was registered, and a chassis with dummy engine was exhibited at the London Motor Show in October of that year. An engine was built and running by December, and orders were taken for deliveries starting in June 1920; however, development took longer than estimated, and the first cars were not ready until September 1921.

It was on a visit to the DFP factory in 1913 that W.O. noticed an aluminium paperweight, and had the inspired idea of using the lightweight metal instead of cast iron to make engine pistons. The first Bentley aluminium pistons went into service in aero engines for the Sopwith Camel, in service during the Great War.

The company was always underfunded, and Bentley turned to millionaire Woolf Barnato for help in 1925. As part of a refinancing deal, which resulted in his effectively owning the company, Barnato became chairman. A great deal of Barnato's fortune was devoted to keeping Bentley afloat, but the Great Depression destroyed demand for the company's expensive products, and it was finally sold to Rolls-Royce in 1931.

There is little doubt that Viper Car Alarms by DEI are the most popular car security alarms in the world. There are many reasons for this. You may possibly remember a time when a car alarm was not a commonly seen accessory on a car. You would only expect to see an aftermarket car alarm system on an expensive sports car pictured in the pages of your favorite car magazine. But considering the way things are today, the car security alarm has become very common place.

It makes good sense to invest in a good professional quality car security system to protect your new car or truck. New vehicles are simply too expensive for us to go the risk of having them easily stolen. No alarm system can prevent a thief who is bound and determined to drive away with your ride. But a Viper car alarm, when installed correctly will certainly prohibit theft by all but a truly experienced thief. The Viper car alarm does its job by protecting your vehicle when it is well out of sight. The newer technology provided by Viper allows the vehicle actually to communicate directly with you via its tw-way remote control. This type of two-way communication is one of the latest advances in the industry used by Viper. It is commonly used on Viper's end car alarms and remote start systems.

This is a great option, especially so if the owner lives or works in an urban area. In urban areas it is not uncommon to hear car alarms sounding intermittently during the day. The sound is so common today that many hearers don't even look up anymore. This of course makes two-way communication and the ability to monitor your vehicle's security from a distance a great benefit. Another factor that adds to the popularity of Viper car alarms is the fact that the manufacturer provides a wide array of electronic accessories to aid in integrating your alarm into you vehicle's electrical system.

Viper makes a few models that combine the car security alarm with a remote start system. This is a very attractive component to add to any vehicle. Along with the available installation accessories, these combination alarm and remote start systems provide addition ways of immobilizing the vehicle to help prevent any would be theft from driving away with your vehicle.

Unless you are electronically inclined and experienced with automobile electronics, it probably is a good idea to have your Viper car alarm professionally installed. You can purchase Viper car alarms on the web and then arrange for your local car electronics store for installation. In most cases, buying online will enable you to save on the overall cost even after installation when compared with a local purchase.

The term sports car has been defined as "an open, low-built, fast motor car." The term describes a class of automobile with two seats, two doors, precise handling, brisk acceleration, and sharp braking — trading practical considerations such as passenger space, comfort, and cargo capacity — for driving enjoyment.

Sports cars can be either luxurious or spartan, but driving and mechanical performance is requisite. Many drivers regard brand name and the subsequent racing reputation and history as important indications of sporting quality (for example, Porsche, Lotus, or Ferrari), but some exotic car brands, such as Lamborghini, which do not race or build racing cars, are also highly regarded by sports car enthusiasts.

One definition that may be used to differentiate between a sports car and an exotic car is the number of vehicles in existence. A possible rule of thumb is the expectation that fewer than 8,000 cars are produced each year by an exotic car manufacturer, while a mass manufacturer of sports car may produce model numbers into the tens and hundreds of thousands.

A car may be a sporting automobile without being a sports car. Performance modifications of regular, production cars, such as sport compacts, sports sedans, muscle cars, hot hatches and the like, generally are not considered sports cars, yet share traits common to sports cars. They are sometimes called "sports cars" for marketing purposes for increased advertising and promotional purposes. Performance cars of all configurations are grouped as Sports and Grand tourer cars, or, occasionally, as performance cars.
