I was reading an article in the London Evening Standard the other day , about July/August being the season when a lot of billionaires from the Gulf states and thereabouts spend time in Knightsbridge . . The young uns take their cars round the back of Harrods then they all hang out at the cafes . I thought I`d take a look today and managed to get some pics , although I did miss a few good uns while I was driving .

A few more

Do you know what????????

It makes me SICK!

Nice!!!!! Love the Veyron and koinseggeeiee thingy :drool:

Took the last two in Sloane Street , from the car , on my way home .

Do you know what????????

It makes me SICK!

 

I KNOWWWWW :lol::lol::lol:

Damn them. White veyron. Sweeeeet. Prefer the lambos though. If I were rich that's what I'd have.

You know, jealousy is for the weak......:tt2:

 

......But I'd kill for a Veyron.......:blush:

 

I've nothing against the vastly wealthy and good luck to them I say. But what I find hard to accept is when it is undeserved....

 

......Like the Arab (or any other nationality; including English) playboys living of their father's money. Get of your arse and do something for yourself you lazy workshy layabouts....:no:

 

And, dare I say it, footballers. Sorry; but why does some thick as shite young thug deserve to earn more in a week than a heart surgeon earns in a year? I mean a heart surgeon studies for years and then he has peoples' lives in his hands. The Prime Minister earns around £150k p/a and he has the pressure of running a country - good or bad (depending on your political views) he earns his money.

 

But Rooney & co on £150k per week - please?

 

Sorry - rant over! Some great pics there mate!

 

Richard:cool2:

Totally agree. Footballers should be paid a average wage basic rate then bonus on how many goals they score.

I know what you mean , mate . When the reporter was there , two 20 year old kids turned up in a Matt black Murcielago , with no front plate . There was a Veyron that was completely gold-plated ( you can`t buy taste ) . A 25-y-old who owned a white Veyron with Chrome doors and wings was asked how he got it over here . He grinned and said " In my plane " .

wow would love to have seen them!! :drool::thumbup1:

Well , they`re here `til August

:biggrin:

That Veyron looks ridiculous, hanging car

^^^^This Veyron discussion has been done to death on the DRIFTWORKS forum.

 

 

It's like very, very, very expensive MARMITE!!!

 

 

Personally, if I had that kind of money, I'd turn up to one of these 'cruises' ('cos let's be honest, that's what it is) and I'd be driving my Veyron quite content in the knowledge that none of these Porkey's or Lambo's could even get close on an open road.

 

Then I'd be thinking....."Why is that strange looking man over there in that Nissan 300' thingy pointing his mobile phone at me?"

 

 

Then of course when the media start playing up the old car being a 'cock extension' sketch.

 

Well, you just whip the old boy out for the pap's and there you have it....win, win....end of chat!

 

 

Then again, if I was just a bitter and twisted 'porper' Z owner who drinks beer and chats on forums...............

 

 

 

but for my two pence worth I would just like to say, loving the cars but hating the unjustly wealthy arse crumpets.......and my 'Z' would destroy that Veyron?????????

I wouldn`t mind one in all white , but I think I`ll wait `til they come down in price a bit . Actually , I love NSXs and you might glimpse a peek of a gold one in front of it , with an "NSX" plate .But in among the surrounding motor-excess , it actually looked quite ordinary . I`d still give my best friend`s right arm for one though :lol:

First of all , how did you know exactly what I look like ?

Secondly , I`m not a " porper " . I used to be a pauper , mind . And if I keep this car long enough , I probably will be again .

 

:biggrin:

I A 25-y-old who owned a white Veyron with Chrome doors and wings was asked how he got it over here . He grinned and said " In my plane " .

 

I was going to ask how they got them over as they're wearing middle eastern plates. All flown over?

The sad reality is that though it may us sick (and footballers are surely the sickest (if that's a word!)), the only reason these types of cars are developed in the first place is to be able to sell them to the obscenely rich. If they did not exist, neither would the cars, and that really would be a loss for those of us who are petrol heads.

 

So like it or not, we must tolerate these obscenities.

hasn't that yellow ferrari got french plates on? lol

I still think your 300zx looks better than any of them!!!

might be a good idea to take the zed there

one of those rich tarts might take a fancy to it and offer me an obseen amount of money for it, or even offer me a swap for a veyron............and then i woke up

That Koenigsegg makes me do sex wee in my pants!!!!!!!!!! That colour is just lovely.:tt1:

I see a few of these cars in the Dorchester hotel car park during the week where alot of the owners where staying!

Also there was a cream red and blue stripped Zonda that looked horrible why would you do that to such a car.

my sister lives in Dubai and is married to an Arab national who is the manager of one of the top 5 football clubs there..they have 4 kids with the oldest is just about to go to a jet fighter acadamy and the otrher 3 all go to private education..I know its not oil money but the next best thing and i could tell you stories that would make your hair curl about obulance if thats how ya spell it. Iff you have money in the Middle East then you have money that we mortals can only dream about:sad: Ironicaly ime the only family member who has not visited my sister and her 10 bedroom marble home and 6 cars as ime too busy roofing:rofl::rofl::D

If my old man was one of these rich oil barrons, I'd be tempted to rock up at one of these events in something a bit more imaginative.

 

Maybe a satin black German WW2 half track with a monster ICE install or even a bayside blue British Army Jackal

 

 

Would guarantee more media interest than your run of the mil Lambo!
