Carry mineral oil with you wherever you go, lots of it!!!!!
Definately a hoot to drive, here is Clarkson sliding one around and drifting one in lurid looping slides (the Bentley) on the track.("Blemheim Palace going sideways"!!) However, after this little caper, the entire braking system failed!!!

That's funny, you're right, most owners do in fact own some kind of oil stocks. Those are great links, and some really great cars. I thoroughly enjoy that guy's consumer reports, unbiased oppinions, and judgements, and tests he conducts on everything he reports about. He did a wonderful piece on Maybach a while back, and a nice review of the lamorghini vehicles a while back also. Does he do a different vehicle every week..? Are they all high end vehicles that he tests, or demo's..? He's extremely un-biased which I really like a lot..
