Continental GT vs 8 Series

   Unfair comparison... most definitely.

Just sat in the new Bentley Continental GT at the Dubai Powerboat Championships. WOW I'm blown away. No longer the big lolling old mans car that it used to be. Its squat and mean. There's slightly less room than the 8 inside although the cockpit is pretty clustered with toys. Same two seats in the back for the kids. Bootspace is immense. Easily two sets of golf clubs longwise.

According to Bentley its the fastest, four-seat production car in the world. Twin-turbo, 6-litre, W12 engine 552bhp and 650Nm of torque. Top speed is 198mph; 0-60mph 4.7sec.

	Ian Unfortunatly, my car is still at home. However, reckon it could be a suitable stable companion for a Csi. I enquired about purchasing one here in the Middle East; How's about a three year waiting list for the ME. Only 50 being sold in Dubai, 42 already sold to the royal family apparently. Phil
