I don`t think many people will have had the chance to out-drag a 240000 grand Bentley.

They just `aint that common round Wolverhampton!

Happen to know someone who used to worked for Broughtons (willenhall).

- He let me take it for a spin
Warp factor 8 when you plant the throttle

One of my neighbours has a Bently Turbo R. Not quite the same thing, but still disturbingly quick! He's an OAP now, but still likes the driving fast thing...

On paper, the power to weight of my Scoob has it, but the Bently has so much torque from so low down the rev range I wouldn't expect to get past him on the road. (And it does 9 to the gallon, so it's really efficient too!! )

Nice motors, and yes I would have a pop at one

Ever wondered why it needs that much torque? Probably because it weighs as much as a bungalow!
