So on the 23rd August I was off to Greece for a week. I booked one of those airport valet services at Gatwick airport as I couldn't be bothered doing park and ride and this was only another 30 quid or so.
I drop the car right into the car park and they take it elsewhere.
What they didn't realise is that I have front and rear cameras which record everything. The front one is hidden behind the mirror, the rear is pretty hard to notice.
So far I have the following:
23rd August after the drop off
- The car sitting in the main car park being revved.
- Departing the car park with the comment to his mate "gonna have some fun boi see ya later" but then saying he will drive carefully and slowly as he wants people to see him!
- Giving it little spurts of power here and there but he actually doesn't drive it like an idiot (although i've yet to review all the footage).
- I will have a look at the GPS overlay to see if there was any speeding but so far it doesn't appear to have gone over 100km/h
- Once it gets to their car park (which is like a glorified field) they're revving it again. The M5 wont let you rev past 3k but they still have a bit of fun.
On the 30th they move it to another area. They rev it again.
Some funny bits:
Another guy gets in it to park it and says "I take it you were very very careful coming here then. That's got such a beautiful noise (revs it). My baby, I'm going to park it on its own. I'm going to clean it every day for him....."
They don't actually rag it. It doesn't go over 100Km/h once and the odd blip here and there is understandable.
but it's........so weird hearing people in your own car........this started as an 'im outraged' post but after actually watching it it's quite funny.
I'd upload the video for you all but virgin internet is down for me....
