Was enjoying the sunshine in Bristol city centre today when I heard that unmistakable sound of a Ferrari engine being revved hard. I turned around to find that my ears weren't wrong and there was a Ferrari 360 driving past, along with a Gallardo, 911 turbo and some other very nice cars, all of them driving a 1mph, clutch down, bouncing off the limiter to draw attention.

The owners all seemed to think that they looked supercool but the people I observed certainly didn't think so, a lot of "shaking coffee beans" signs and laughter at them. They were worse than the usual chavs with their beancan exhausts.

Saw them several more times during the day too, always doing the same.

Such nice cars driven by such sad idiots. Why weren't they out driving around the country lanes instead of acting like 17yr old chavs? Had they been driving along normally most people would've been appreciative of their cars but instead they just added to the stereotype.
 
typical supercar owners prefer to avoid attention rather than seek it

can only assume they didnt own the cars tbh !

Driving through town in their supercars would've had people pointing and taking photos most likely, bouncing off the limiter repeatedly just had people sniggering and laughing at the fools.
 
Does sound like they've rented them. I remember a few years ago seeing a young Asian lad thrashing a brand new Bentley Continental GT convertible around and immediately thought "drug dealer", but suppose he could have been driving a rented car also. He made everyone around him look though so achieved his desired effect.

Agreed, cruising around town is fine - going out and having fun is fine too, but surely when you're in cars like that, there are MUCH more fun things you could be doing.

Of course I can understand how a biker might side with the people wanting attention my making a lot of noise :p
 
My RS4 (no supercar, but stick with me) actually sounds at it's best at low revs, between 1500 and 2500 RPM, in a high gear exhaust baffles open and pootling. Sounds bloody lovely with a great deep v8 warble. Rev the knackers of it and it looses the appeal to my ears, but then it's no Fezza or Lambo. Driving around Bristol and not heading for Wales in such cars is a sin in anyones book unless you
lace every other word with bruv or init.
 
not a supercar but there is this guy down my street with a highly strung RX-7 that sounds like a superbike rather than a car, anyway he sits in it and bounces it off the limiter for half an hour or more oh and thats after the half hour build up (gotta let it warm up 1st eh?)
then if he dosnt take it out and wheelspin up and down the street a few times, then he will just leave it idling for 45 minutes. He probably lives 6 houses away on the other side of the street and i can phisicaly feel the exaust note in my house, the joys of a counsil estate glad im moving soon

Depends if they get laid from it or not by some car **** or gold digger who doesn't realise they have rented the car for the day.

If thats why they're doing it, they're better off cutting out the middle man and just renting the ****

Most people aren't able to sleep with a prostitute without feeling shame, and if they are then they then have the hurdle of not being intelligent enough to know how to rent a decent prostitute.
