Test Driving a Super Car -- WARNING: ADULT CONTENT

Did you watch last week's Dolce Vita?  On the show, I test drove...a Bentley Mulsanne, the flagship car of the Bentley fleet.  ( http://mytv.tvb.com/lifestyle/dolcevita/117154/370#page-1)The shoot took place over two days.  The first day, we were in the showroom and the second, we were out test driving in Shek O, home of the fabulously wealthy.  Unfortunately, it was raining on day 2 and I had to hold back on putting the pedal to the metal.  Nonetheless, it was an awesome experience.On the day of the test drive, I forgot my camera.  DOH!  Waiting for one of my friends to give me pics from her camera.For those who like cars, sit back, relax, and get ready to DROOL.  (I brought my bib with me and it was thoroughly soaked by the time I was done.)Dez The Mighty Mulsanne -- Bentley's FlagshipBeauty isn't always a leggy blonde or curvy brunette...Me and one of our directors Iby.The devil's in the details...grill; independent back-seat control; console that says luxury and old school x 21st century technology.  Way cool.The Continental Supersports -- Titillating and Arousing MeCarbon fiber roll bar to add stiffness.  (Admittedly, I was plenty stiff by this time.)Black rims.  20"?  PHAT.I love the Continental's grill.  Reminds me of a panther on the prowl, another highly sexy image.Two Other ModelsContinental GT Convertible in sky blue.  Exceptional although if I had HK$4M, I'd opt for a hardtop on this car.  Never liked acid rain ruining my supple leather.Another pussywagon (I didn't make up the term...blame Quentin Tarantino if you're offended) -- the Flying Spur.

I'm not so into the Bentleys... for me the bigger prize would be hanging out with Becky all day. ;-)

@donnamoonbeam -- I would have preferred an exotic like a Lamborghini or Ferrari but I ain't complaining! The cool thing about this car is it's comfy to ride (most people have a chauffeur for this kind of thing) but it's still reasonable fun to drive as well.

@Etchy -- AFFIRMATIVE! I was zooming through the picturesque golf course at Shek O. It was amazing except for the fact that there was a heavy drizzle. Spinning a $6M car out of control is not the kind of excitement I'm looking for.

@Etchy -- I've seen that clip before. The thing that amazes me is that the still photographer did not even flinch when the car was coming toward him. Little did he know that the impact actually moved the stone barriers.
