Spoilt rich boys who don't respect anybody or money, "20,000 for a night out in a disco buying friends drinks and food"..........lets go out and do the things we'd get locked up for back home....

When we had an instrument service operation out in Saudi, our sponsor had a barn-sized building full of all his old cars, from when he first started to drive. There was all sorts from ratty old Jap saloons to bling-bling Rollers and monster 4x4s that made a Bowler Wildcat look like your granny's shopping cart. As he got richer he'd just buy whatever took his fancy, drive around until the ashtray was full and then buy next season's toy.
Anway... his son (17 at the time) and a mate went dune-buggying... in a Lexus. They hurtled over the top of a dune... only to find that a massive sand-slip had taken the other side away. The car fell some horrendous distance and the son snapped his spine; an aircraft was chartered to fly him to Germany for repairs but the lad was permanently paralysed.
The father said it was Allah's will

I deal with these Arabs on a day-to-day basis and generally they are a well mannered, educated and generous bunch. They are worth many millions of £ to the UK but yes, they do flash the cash and can possibly sport a hypocritical religious stance. My tuppence and I'm amazed they managed an hour long program about their flash cars (I got bored after twenty minutes!).

Most of those cars are not exactly rare in the West End at any time of the year.
A good portion of the ones ragging around will be our own rich kids.
Those cars are not any noisier than the local Corsa/Saxo boys with big exhausts and sound systems.
I was going to the Chelsea cruise 25 years a go and people were doing no different then.
Also amusing all 5 of the locals who are moaning can't see the bigger picture that much of that area only exist because of the influx on new money.
Bleating on about their community when clearly they hardly put anything into it themselves or they would have had a few more supporters
Loved the silence when the journalist asked if any of them had ever spoken to one of the drivers.
If I was a young Arab who had flown 3 supercars in and could afford to spend £20K on a night out I'd be having the time of my life too

yeah but why not hire a proper race track and rally the s**t out of them like they are designed to be , instead of sitting outside a house revving a big amg or brabus merc getting on someones wick.
had to say though,that programme just highlighted the vast gulf between the haves and have nots, blowing on one night in a night club what some earn in a year and have to work hard for.

Those kind of people have no respect for the rest of us, They thing that by driving around a £250,000 car they don't have to pay the parking tickets or speed fines, but allow these to mount up, a £60 ticket to one of those people is like loose change down the back of the sofa.
What needs to happen is a fine should be a percentage of the cars worth say 5%, That would stop those petrolheads

Because family money says they can.
I liked the bits where the Nanny was shown, brought an image of 'Kevin the Teenager' to mind.......
Also, when the Bobby on his bike impounded the Lambo - classic!!

They do it coz they CAN, and it is a statement, 'LOOK AT ME, I'M IMPORTANT, I'VE GOT MONEY' 
'impotant' more like
Heard about one dad, a few years ago, bought someform of lambo or maserati supercar for his son,
for passing his TEST!
he crashed it in a few days, killing someone,
his insurance was around £500,000, or so. But money aside surely this is like giving a nutter a machine gun and saying do some target practise in the high street!!, 'I'm sure the locals will get out of the way'.

Yes Stuvey, but are their licences UK ones? I doubt. And there is a lot of politics involved. Otherwise we would be a bit more critical of some of the other things that go on in their home countries.

The poor little rich boys thought that they had got a bad time off that copper who did nothing but his job. I mean they are asking for it. They take the number plates off as "it ruins the looks of the car" so they say (or they hope they can avoid the police cameras) and then have the cheek to slag the guy off for being a jealous racist. Because he has the nerve to pull them over more than once.
I freely admit. if I saw them speeding up and down in their £600K cars, I might be more than a tad jealous too. However, I didn't see the copper do anything but his job or say anything racist. He didn't have to did he ? That old guy and the woman who have to live there said it for him.
