We had the good fortune of connecting with Artur Shynkarov and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Artur, what do you attribute your success to?
I believe there are a lot of Bentley lovers who are fascinated by this car, I just picked specific Bentley Flying Spur model and made maximum post about it.

I tried all, taking good picture, posting on specific time, picking special music, but I think main factor was that I communicate with my followers. Everyday, I’m answering 6 hours straight on the question from my direct messages, explaining people details about the car better than officials. Actors, sportsmen and rich people always writing to me asking advice about the Bentley and I’m doing my best to bring them to the game.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
It was 2018 year, I was a moderator at the car forum club, where one of the advertising was looking for a driver with enormous high salary and demanding personal requirements. For a moment I thought it was a joke, but still filled the form. Later that day, I got a phone call which turned my life upside down.

When I came for an interview I recived 50 page contract with a lot of rules and regulations, from what I could understand, I will drive some kind of businessman.

Than I was taken to the garage where I saw 15 amazing top luxury cars, including Bugatti, Pagani, Koenigsegg , Lamborghini and Ferrari.

Later, I realized that this businessman was a billionere and he was afraid of flying, so instead, he had to drive to all his meetings by car.

Everyday he had meeting in different part of Europe and sometimes I had to drive 2 000 km non stop to arrive on time. Bentley Flying Spur w12 was his favoriate car, so for the past 3 years we drove in her 250 000 km.

My favorite car also became Bentley Flying Spur, as once he was late for a meeting and fall asleep, so I drove 315 km/h on the German autobahn and came on time, when he woke he could not believe that we managed it.

It was very hard and challenging, but I learned a lot, because we had plenty of time to talk about simple life things and he was educating me on the business aspect.

In the end, I started my own blog where I was video taping traveling, restaurants and luxury cars I drove, it’s started as a hobby and later turned to a business where currently I own highest visited Bentley page among the internet.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would show my friend the beautiful country of Switzerland. I lived there for some time, and the nature of the mountains and lakes captivated me.

The nature of the events is magnificent, mainly due to the mountains. The central and southern part of the territory is guarded by the Alps, in the northwest by the Jura, and in the south by the Apennines. The Alps and Yurayem are separated by a hilly plateau with an average speed of tectonic lakes.

According to one old legend, when the riches of the bowels of the Earth were taken by the Lord God, they were not captured in a country located in the very center of Europe. In order to correct such injustice, high mountains were presented with shining glaciers, violent waterfalls, picturesque valleys, beautiful rivers and azure lakes. And so it turned out unusually beautiful Switzerland. The scenery is magnificent in any weather.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
It’s all started back in good old 2000 year, in my small town Smela, Ukraine when I was 12 years old and my grandfather Gregoriy took me to the cinema on the movie “gone in 60 second, with Nicolas Cage.

I was fascinated by the cars in the movie and story which shows how car lovers can treat their cars and take care of them.

My grandfather was one of them and he was renovating cars, spending hours in garage everyday and I was there with him assisting by giving wrenches which I could find among the other equipment on the floor.

So shoutout to my grandfather Grigoriy and Nicolas Cage, who were my heroes in the childhood and introduced me to the car world.
