being tested in Albania and involving a dead fat man.

I hope they do a decent job of showing off these cars though.

And before anyone mentions it, yes it's meant to say Bentley in the title.

It wasn't a good advert for Bentley was it. I'm not sure how these shows work behind the scenes.

Maybe TG could have simply hired a Bentley?

After TG caused nearly €50k damage to the last 2 Bentleys lent them, it's no surprise they wouldn't give out another one.
Really? When was this, and which models did they damage?

As a side, I completely agree with their final comment. If I was at the lights in a Ghost and a Phantom pulled up next to me, I would feel like I'd bought the wrong car.

I have driven the Ghost and all of the Phantom variants (apart from for the EWB, which I have been in the back of).

Whilst in its own right, it is an excellent car, IMHO it is nowhere near as special as any of the Phantom family
Isn't the Ghost supposed to be the car to "drive" rather than the Phantom which is to be "driven" in? Or would you say the Phantom/s are still very much drivers cars just the same?
