Annual or 50 000 mile service cost from HR Owen (London based main dealer) £595. My local independent Bentley specialists charge £300. They are not overly complicated beasts and beautifully engineered so most things are doable yourself but a fully stamped service history is worth loads when selling the thing on.

That silvery grey thing, I cannot remember what is was called.

I am not a fan of cruise ships but I do think that this needs some more thinking.

If I can have two I will take a Honda and an old Fiat. A Fiat Jolly on a subtropical island and a Honda Jet to get there.

I actually know someone who lost one of those Chiron keys down the back of their sofa. It was cheaper to rip the sofa apart than replace the key! (It will not surprise anyone if I mention that  he is a motoring journalist)

You could import one into the UK. As an agricultural vehicle, it would need an orange flashing light and be limited to 35 mph but you could have one.

I would aged parents and newborn infants to the list. Also kittens.

A person of taste and distinction,

My Bentley is such an extrovert that no-one notices me getting in and out of it, it just trundles about doing car stuff. In the same way that historic houses do sometimes get lived in by ordinary looking middle aged dudes.

All true, and all why, even if I had the money I would not buy one. BTW, it is one of the most pleasing cars to drive that I have ever met.

I got to drive one of these, and review it. Left out of my copy were the the three incidents where the passenger seat was occupied by young ladies asking me to take them for a drive. ( It is probably worth mentioning that I am older than some deities and have the charm of an accident in a mall parking lot)

The lightning bolt button? Either Pearl Jam or Jake Bugg, It randomly plays one or the other. It has to be the most annoying feature ever installed in a new car.

Father Christmas was an early adopter of the automobile, an intrepid British reporter captured this image in 1896

I put nearly 120,000 miles on my 928. Had it serviced by Porsche specialists every year. I still miss it.

They did some terrible things to 928's as well

I might just know of something that might “win” a crash with a Tesla Cilitruk,

Has anyone actually tried this with a Unimog?

Realizing that your fully functional snowplough equipped Unimog is at the other end of your three mile long drive. Again.

Yes, part private members club, part railway locomotive. and wholly sod of peasants

My Bentley has a three speed gearbox. 1st gear is good for for pulling Unimogs out of ditches and other useful stuff. 2nd gear is fine for day to day motoring, 3rd gear is only for the mildly insane. Smooth and steady progress at a steady 100+mph, with 1934 brakes.
