Martin, if I didn't know better, I would wholeheartedly agree with you. However, when I was much, much younger, a friend of mine was a driver for a rather well off gentleman who owned a newish Bentley saloon.
The owner permitted this friend to borrow the car when it was not required by the family, and our friend would often join in our fast driving pursuits around the roads of North London. At that time we had an assortment of cars including my Escort GT, a hot Imp, a Cooper S and a 1500 Anglia plus other such vehicles. And none of us could keep up with the Bentley especially around corners and bends.The road holding of this heavy car was absolutely phenomenal, and so hard to believe, and with very little roll to boot.
