Bentley Mulsanne
I've reached an age where comfort is far more important than wind in the
hair, but with such a Bentley I can have sumptuous comfort AND massive
performance in a level of quiet that it's really quite creepy. What else can
I buy that seats four in comfort, looks like the inside of a Gentleman's
London Club, weighs the better part of 3 tons, accelerates to 60mph in about
8 seconds and totally owns the road because of its size.
