Bah! Bentley
Note to self
When passing MIRA (Auto testing Ground). and noticing a Black Bentley Continental, with black wheels, grill, everything, emerging from the MIRA gateway to follow me up the A5. DO NOT TRY TO OUT ACCELERATE IT  This is an inevitable no win. You would have more chance of reversing out of a black hole. (An apt simile for this epic motor) http://wot.motortrend.com/6541043/fu.../photo_04.html Mike; I am thinking I need urgent discussions on the addition of funny gas to my under powered motor

Just imagine. 600 bhp. Turn off the ESP and you'd be able to spin the wheels at all sorts of barmy speeds. Not confident this'd be sufficient Go here. Or rather, better not go here. Its depressing http://supersports.bentleymotors.com/#/en/intro/ Mike. If your laughing gas won't do it, tell me. How does one become a super successful footballer?

To become a top footballer, lower your moral values to those of Caligula; have a frontal labotomy and start a love/hate affair with the gutter press. Give up any pretence of style, become a fashion victim and have your wag surgically altered, always drink before you drive, throw tantrums on the pitch when your being shown up for lack of talent and gamble on your own team loosing.

It seems, against all the evidence, that I qualify. Now bring on the big bucks (and lets not be forgetting the ladies of tremendous beauty and questionable motives) You are all invited to the first ridiculously extravagant party that I will be throwing. Diverse entertainments guaranteed
