Yes, at BP we got free cars for the weekend to test the oil; the best was a BMW 328i coupe and the worst was a 1.8 Mondeo. The Merc was like driving an old bus with performance to match.

Rolls Royces are not good particularly performers, they're luxury in an old fashioned sense.

As long as you put 1000 miles on the clock on a weekend, you could be a bog cleaner, but I DID test the oil after it had done 100000 miles though.
