Hi Dippy,

Great drive report. How on this earth did you manage to get to testdrive a bentley? You dont even look like Jermey Clarkson!

Cheers,

Aveek, I'm aware of the watches. Bentley and Breitling have a good thing going. But what I meant was the clock inside the car. I guess (read - not sure) Breitling have permitted the use of the name........but the actual clock movement, in this case, is not Breitling's.

Manti.

Amazing review and nice pictures as well.
Just one thing: Dippy, u said the supercharger whine was addictive. If i'm not mistaken the engine in the Bentley is a twin-turbo setup.

And as for the watch, is IS a Breitling
