Just watching the news with the Queen opening the Commonwealth Games and noticed her car bouncing up and down as it drove up to the stage.

Maybe it needs to go down to Kwik fit for a set of new shockers? Or is it on some kind of bouncy air ride?

The wife even noticed this whilst watching it live which shows how bad it was. No idea what the reason was

I agree it did look like it was having some sort of problem with it's active suspension.

It did look a bit bouncy, though I noticed more that it looked horrible. Wasn't even sure if it was a Bentley, just that it looked really badly proportioned.

I think the temporary surface underneath must have been something like corrugated steel?

Some sort of sprung floor perhaps - feedback loop with the suspension?
