[@oceanexploration]

Of the many cars I have driven, the Bentley is the one I would DESERVE the most speeding tickets in. It's like the Space Shuttle mated with a Spa. You float along in endless comfort and power without a feel of how fast you are actually going, yet in complete control. When you do get pulled over, you are in a Bentley. Not getting out of that one.

[@dickhitswater4836]

I know it’s a long ways from a Bentley but my BMW 5 series e60 550i made me feel the same way. Endless comfort and even doing over 100 felt like you were cruising at 35. I loved that car, hated the relatability. My new x5 is much sportier than I expected and the in-line 6 makes such a great noise. Says it’s only 300hp but feels much faster than that but what a pleasant driving experience.

[@OldProVidios]

I'm impressed with the camerawork. With Jay Leno, you always see the cameras mounted and the chase cars. I didn't spot a camera in the whole video.

If you want a luxury off-roader... You get a Lexus LX570 (maybe a G- class would work too). If you want a luxury car that could go offroad you get a range rover or cullinan, etc.

Totally agree with the racing comments, we don't need a computer with aero from NASA we need a big engine, a small car and some sticky tyres. And what's more we don't need drivers who insist that they're athletes or teams of millions in pit boxes that may as well be hotels we need Shaun Connery driving slightly drunk after a night with the local mayor's wife having his tyres changed by Jeff and Bob from down the road working out of an old shed, let's make less money on branding and more noise on track!

I totally agree however a study of a bunch of US millenials on a race track showed how they can't hardly just drive round a corner without ABS, TC, etc etc. God help them when you add in a manual shift and a clutch pedal.

Reynolds 531 [and there were three variants - normal 531 tubing, 531C for Competition and 531P for Professional] aircraft grade lightweight steel was used extensively in racing bike production during the 70's and 80's. My first 'proper' racing bike was made using Reynolds 531C steel and whilst not as light as the 531P it was still impressively light for the time. It was a lovely little bike, and I raced it for over a decade and never once had a problem.
