Feature car in ep6 tour of The Trossachs (Callendar to Aberfoyle to Inversnaid on Loch Lomond), but first a visit to RW's home town of Greenock where his elder sister still lives. Greenock is not a recommended place to take a Bentley in normal circumstances, but they escaped unscathed. Ep7 footage Ep7 - the owner, Simon Tracy Forster The owner's website, with some filming pictures. Unseen footage etc from DVD extras Archive glimpse of Bentley dash from intro to all eps "JDK is a 4½-litre Mk.VI Bentley, built in Crewe in 1952. She was one of the last Mk.VIs before the move to the R type." JDK 609 ✓ Taxed Tax due: 01 August 2018 MOT Exempt Vehicle make: BENTLEY Date of first registration: 30 December 1952 Year of manufacture: 1952 Cylinder capacity (cc): 4500 cc Fuel type: PETROL Export marker: No Vehicle status: Tax not due Vehicle colour: SILVER Probably RW's most successful episode for mastering old cars. Or they got bored with showing all his stalls and missed changes, as it was not emphasised in this ep, unlike all the others. |

Why that? Do you in Scotland have problems with social envy, resentments by underperformers? I thought, this is a German speciality. |

Unfortunately you are not correct in thinking that. In Britain, amongst some people, social envy of all kinds is built in to the air they breathe and the soil upon which they stand. I would very much like a vintage Bentley, but I would not slash the tyres of someone else’s. |

The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation compares almost 7,000 districts in Scotland for standards such as health, crime, income and employment, and 14 areas have been consistently named among the 5% most deprived in Scotland since 2004. These include Greenock, Inverness Merkinch in Highland, Whitfield in Dundee City and Raploch in Stirling, along with Craigneuk Wishaw in North Lanarkshire and Altonhill in East Ayrshire; the frequent "winner" as Scotland's most deprived area is Ferguslie Park in Paisley. -- Last edit: 2018-05-05 15:49:09 |

We approach such subjects with trepidation, both as British, and as human beings. No one should struggle to feed themselves or their families, and to have somewhere warm, dry and private to live. When this spills over and becomes “I’m struggling to buy a Bentley so I’ll drag my key down the side of this one”, then it becomes unacceptable. How to remove one problem without causing an increase in the other ought to be the Holy Grail of politicians, but you do wonder if anybody gives a stuff. |

Can't disagree with anything in that last comment. All the severely deprived areas named above are legacies of vanished local industries, apart from Raploch which was a social housing experiment without any accompanying industrial base to underpin its progress. |
