That's me in the John Deere at 26.00, I remember seeing you. Lovely car. Great show.
A to B Tales of Modern Motoring parody, excellent
We need more of them it's brilliant
Just been watching them recently funny to mention it

Wow, Steve Berry from Bury and Top Gear and the 1990s and his wife have suddenly come into money. Looks very suspicious, do you not remember what happened to the wise guys in Goodfellas? Especially as in that jacket Steve Berry looks like he’s in a Guy Ritchie film. I always though a good way to deal with suddenly coming into money was to buy a Bentley as it could well send you back to not having a lot of money. I know someone who has a Bentley Arnage, the evolution of this thing. Its a very divisive car, whilst it’s undeniably luxurious and beautifully crafted, it’s also a very ostentatious and vulgar statement. It’s a rather bright blue which doesn’t help, and has a white interior which is as impractical as it is startling. I wonder if those drivers blocking the road did it on purpose or they just can’t see behind the end of their bonnet and blocking some flash Herbert in an old Bentley was a bonus? Today I had to go to a place and on the way I saw a lot of new Kias. No idea what they’re called, it seems that Kia release a new car every week or two, but I did think they were very big. I wonder if you park something that normal people consider big like this next to a new Kia it’ll still look big or would it start to look small? Who would drive one of these is easy, it’s anyone who was famous in the 1990s who was famous before the 1990s that didn’t want the Jim’ll Fix It associations as he would have had the Rolls Royce version. I reckon in the modern day Ainsley Harriot would knock about in one of these. I have a TAG Heuer and a new battery costs nearly £200. I don’t wear it any more, I have a solar powered Citizen watch instead. And a Casio Calculator watch for when there’s a possibility I’ll be asked to do sums but I want the person asking me to stop. The buttons are tiny and the display is very dim but when I wear it people comment positively about it. So it appears we find ourselves at the unexpected conclusion that the Bentley Turbo R is the Casio calculator watch of cars.
I love the chemistry between you two. It's really entertaining and educational. Keep up the great work lads! Hopefully there's more to come! 😊👍🙌
Brilliant intro Steve very funny and accurate. Remember the poor sod who was gifted a blue Austin Maestro diesel as punishment by his company. In my experience, the Bentley Turbo R were so much better built and far more classier than the equivalent Rolls-Royce and, for whatever reason, cheaper, too. Wildberry Mica is such a gorgeous colour on these really looks proper.
Tackle Man 😅🤣😂😁. Well done guys, yet again another fantastic video. Love the banter between you guys. Keep them coming 👍
These reviews are always good but this was amazing, well done fellas 👍👍
Brilliant , really enjoyed this .👍👍
Paul looks like the singer of prog rock band The Hedgehogs ( of truth) in the back of the R. There was some irony as you drove past the parked up Hyundai ionic thingy, it probably will have died a death in ten years from now while the mighty Bentley rolls on ..👌🦖
Noel Gallagher did own a Wildberry Turbo R.
I have never heard anybody else, other than myself, use the word sybaritic in conversation before. You’ve invented a new genre - Intellectual automotive comedy! Total genius. Best one yet, boys!
Michael Bublé. He's definitely one. You see him on a chat show and you think "what a lovely bloke - charming, funny"... and then you hear the intro for his latest pile of agony and you shout (well i shout) "NO BUBLÉ; DON'T SING!"
Steve, were you on Top Gear?
In late 90s my mum passed her driving test. My dad turned up in a almost brand new xantia. Was about 6 month old. That shape had literally just come out. My mum drove it around the block. I never saw that car again after that drive LOL. I don't think it was a terrible car but hand brake was on wrong side of car and it was so hard to put hand brake ok she wasn't strong enough. Ended up getting her a year old BMW 518. My dad hated it cus it was manual but my mum loved it.
Utterly bonkers genius .
You drove past my house, those roads are where I practiced my driving whilst I was still in school and still rag cars up Wilsden road Forty five later.
A brilliant review by a couple of nutters! LOVED IT!
Did he nick it from manor parks😂
Always loved these, I'd love to own one.
Lovely car in a stunning colour. I think you're right with choosing Rick Wakeman as a potential owner, in the 70's he owned a Jensen Interceptor and that I think has a somewhat similar vibe to the Turbo R, imposing but also "tastefully" raffish.
Well technically Churchill was only 50% British .. 😮
Just brilliant and so funny steve and Paul 👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Last bit is great 😂 lol keep up the good work
Brilliant as always
Brilliant as ever!
I saw that Steve Berry driving a Bentley the other day. He was giving his plumber a lift to Victorian Bathrooms.
The observations and references are great. Very funny.
Suits you sir Steve 😊
I love a bentley had a few
My father in law had an Omega watch and he said that wasn't a very good timekeeper
The phoneline! 😆 The nineties 'new kids'! 😁 Buskin' with a bass! 😅
Where was Brucie? I bet he'd have had one of those!😀
Nineties car nutters😁
I always liked these car's but I don't think I will ever buy one. Garret make the vw turbos. 😂😂 Great review guy's 👍
Like these car's what?
Love the way you deliberately whined Steve up paul😂😂😂
Ive got a 75 silver shadow LWB without division
BITN, now in WIIIIIDDDDEEEESCREEEN
Can I join your band ... 🎉❤
Eric Bristow's Bentley the number seems to suggest? ok it'd be 501 not 301.
I would love to drive one at least once but not own one, too many Korean shit-box drivers to worry about. I would become hoarse. 🤯
Poor attempt at comedy. Tripe,
brilliant
I'm one of those people who's only driven one Bentley, and it's a Turbo R. Though one difference to those other people you mentioned is that I own mine. It's the same colour as the one you tested, Wildberry Mica, though it's a later model, 1996, so gets some interior tweaks, bigger 17" wheels and restyled bumpers, as well as a bit more power at 385 bhp. It's really like nothing else and puts a big smile on my face every time I drive it, though slighly smaller smiles every time it needs work doing on it. Which isn't really that often. Underrated cars, bit of a nightmare to park.
I think we have a new Smith and Sniff. 😅
Here's my vote for the BITN podcast. 🎙️🎧💰👍
I really do think you two and boaty should start doing top gear challenges in old Rovers 😁
