I've recently driven and am due to drive some pretty decent cars and will produce reviews of all of them. Aside from the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! I drove a Bentley Continental W12 GT Speed recently and have the following booked:

Volvo V60 D3 R-Design on loan now for a week

Lotus trackday at Lotus test track

Radical trackday at Silverstone

Jaguar XF Sportbrake 3.0 D loan for a week

Range Rover SDV8 loan for a week

Honda Accord Tourer loan for a week

Vauxhall Adam loan for a week

Plus, a colleague attended a Mercedes Driving Day on my behalf today and drove the GL 350 CDI, SLS AMG GT, C 63 AMG 507 and E 63 AMG S

So some decent cars for review between now and the year end!

Wow.

Such a nice job you have there.

Anyway, i've drive both the W12 and V8 version of the conti GT back when my boss looking for a replacement for his 612. And the W12 is much faster than the V8, but much heavier..

I've got a Quattroporte S Q4 this Saturday that I'm excited to review.

I already know I'm giving it a 90/100. Or 100/100. Depends on how much sideways the AWD systems allow.

It's massively heavy, and for its size the rear seats are bizarrely tiny!

yep.

Add some heavy traffic when we test those cars, and my boss said "I rather keep my 612 for another year"

Did you get to drive the 612? I love those cars, and they're my favorite modern Ferrari GT.

Yep, once.

He take me for some kind of 1000 miles road trip with local Ferrari Club. And i really love it!

It's soft when you want to relax, but it's really maaaaad when you poke it with a stick. But somehow when you go mad it's still soft.

My boss said that "it's a perfect supercar for old people like me"

It is bonkers crazy, however for MUCH less money I'd rather own a Maserati GranTurismo Sport or Jaguar XJR

Mega! Looking forward to a go. I've been promised a drive in a Ghibli soon too

That XJR is awesome. Altough my boss said it's too big.
He's 50-55 years old man, and looking for a newer Coupe for replacing his aging 612.

But anyway, i really looking forward to your Volvo V60 R-Design Review. My friend have a V70R, and it's awsome!

Well, we haven't got any time for test drive.

This is because in my country, Maserati is sold via Ferrari dealer. It's much, much easier to book a test drive for a Ferrari 458 rather than Gran Turismo.
