We have been very fortunate to have dogs that travel well. Maybe it's because we start them very young? This Border collie was travelling when he was just half the size a our Border Terrorist.
How dogs know where they are never ceases to amaze me.All our collies also seem to know when they are just a few miles from home, sit up and watch the last few miles of any trip back home

The aerobatic pilot Art Scholl (who died while filming a sequence for the original Top Gun movie) had a dog called Aileron that often rode in the cockpit with him. At displays he would sometimes taxi back with the dog on a wingtip!
The dog is shown at about 0:20 and again at 3:12
I'm quite sure my barkers will not be submitted to such 'g' forces in the Bentley, although it is capable of over 1.1g lateral if required
You need a carbra bro!The first major outing for the Bentley over the weekend. Loaded with a huge amount of hifi kit, wife and dogs, we went down to Gerrards Cross to do a media room install for my brother in law.
250 mile round trip completed in great comfort with the range still showing 440 miles at the end of the trip, teasingly close to a 700 mile range....in a Bentley!
I have been very fortunate to drive many great cars in my line of work, but to actually own a drive something that represents some of my own achievements is a very real privilege. The car now fits all my criteria of a long distance car with a very real 'feel good' factor on top
Any issues? Well, the car does have a very large frontal area, so the bugs it collects are in proportion to that....but I'll cope with that sort of debugging.
Other than that, none at all, and I'm loving it!
A wonderful way to travelToday I did something I haven't done in a long time, just went out for a drive, because I could. Not that I haven't been driving much as I've done over 500 miles in the last couple of days in a Peugeot Boxer rental van, but because I wanted to drive the Bentley.
A wonderful air of peace and tranquillity and the ability to watch the countryside go by at whatever speed you choose and the car remains resolutely a haven of calm. A proper privilege.
I took this photo when I was almost home, just around the corner from me......

It could, of course, be just a load of old waftle.....but my pleasurometer reads differently
The needle on your "pleasurometer" is quite erect then Alistair??It could, of course, be just a load of old waftle.....but my pleasurometer reads differently
No, it's more comfortably laid back against the 'max' stop.....The needle on your "pleasurometer" is quite erect then Alistair??
Certainly lower mileage ones don't stay on the forecourts for very long.
Epic set up - love it!
I have admit my brother in law was more the driving force, but they have both spent their evenings in there for the last week
