Impressive.

How do they get over here? Are they shipped in advance while the owners fly over?

Why do they choose to come to London for the summer? All of the amazing roads they could be using those cars on across Europe/anywhere else and yet they bring them to the congested streets of dump city.

I think you're mistaken, they've come to london, the worlds go to destination.

A microcosm of culture, decadance, culinary extravagance and social interaction!

They're not interested in driving the cars to their potential. They just want to show off.

 

[Dup]

Meh.

Love the 240GL though!

 

[NVP]

What have they done to some of those cars?! Money can't buy taste it seems haha

 

[Siliconslave]

arr - so thats why when I was in dubai last week I didn't see a single supercar, makes sense now!

hehehe

xD "all these horses and no room to gallop"


so we escape to warmer climates and beaches, they escape to cooler climates and gridlock fair enough!

I think if I owned such a car I'd rather go somewhere Northern where there are no other supercars and fly around on the A roads

When all your mates have Bugatti's and Pagani's you need to do something outrageous to stand out, to some of these people money is very much no object and they probably don't care if they ruin it because they can just buy five more.

Exactly this.

They just want something expensive and ludacris

Perhaps that's true for a very small area, 95% of London is an absolute hole. You wouldn't see them racing around East Ham or Bethnal Green.

Probably pointing out the obvious here, but I'm guessing they want to go to London.

I think that was sarcasm

Going up to Knightsbridge for some drinks tonight so I might get there a bit earlier and see if I can spot any. I really enjoy seeing them - even the ones with "interesting" modifications are interesting to have a look around.

 

[Freefaller]

Meh.

That's what I came here to post!

 

[Adam]

Good question though, why London and how do they get the cars here? I know it's a real problem for the residents.

 

[Bunka]

They'll get their cars flown over and why London? Because it has some of the best restaurants, shops, clubs etc. in the world. They'll be able to speak English as a second language and avoid the insane summer temps in Dubai.

They just bring them over to show off and pick up chicks.

They might be helping the economy, but they force house prices up in london.
