It just crossed my (admittedly warped mind) that it was SO, SUPER IRONIC that this car that was described as all as having FLOWN over the barriers was called a ‘Flying Spur‘.

While I am partial to Bentleys (though I haven’t owned one (as yet)), I am NOT that familiar with the model names. Yes, I am sure I have heard of the ‘Flying Spur’ BUT I had never given it much thought until THIS.

So, what the HECK is a ‘Flying Spur’?

It is NOT obvious. I had to look it up. It is a bit obtuse and complicated. An heraldic ‘device’ from a Coat of Arms. This will explain it.

Well, now we know. Flying Spur.

I am sure that the name doesn’t give them leeway to fly.

I don’t know what happened, but I feel bad about the car too. $300,000+ car gone –> poof.

If you Google this you will find a LOT of good, valid suggestions — many of which might actually work. But, you are likely to find that it is going to be a trial & error — i.e., try this, then that, & maybe this — process.

I found, over the weekend, that the quickest & easiest solution was to UNINSTALL the APP & then get a fresh copy. Yes, you will have to download the books you had previously downloaded. That is not a bad thing either. That is the 1st step that most other potential fixes recommends. This way, rather than screwing around, just start again.

I found that it was really quite easy. Took minutes. Just a suggestion. You do not have to resort to this, if you don’t like the sound of it. SMILE. No problem. I am all set, thank you.
