I think the 'residents' have a problem with more than just the cars. Especially that guy with the umbrella.

That said, it would be quite annoying if you didn't like cars.

I agree with the guy driving the aventador.  Being out in the desert then coming to the UK and seeing the greenery is special.

When i came back from Afghan the first thing I noticed is there is so much colour everywhere. Driing through the countryside feels amazing.

Thats probably true as well.  The older generations, as on the show, will definitely be less accepting of the mass influx of foreigners than the younger generations.

I followed a Mclaren MP4-12C for a good few miles down the M1 and M18 last September. The noise was awesome and at every opportunity he dropped it a gear or 2 and gave it some beans.

It was all I could do not to overtake him and embarrass him.  :grin:

I think we'd all be thinking slightly differently if they'd shown more coverage of the genuinely reckless behaviour that happens, like that turquoise 599, rather than just the showing off and revving of engines.

I think that guys was on to something. Someone should open a restaurant and invite people to boot their supercars past it. I'd pay for it!

Would I chuff!

This behaviour is only comparable to us Brits raiding sh*tholes like Magaluf every July and August, getting pissed off our heads and vomiting everywhere.

Only for a few weeks a year - not all that bad.  + like they say the money they bring to the area.  You cant have everything, not sure I feel that sorry for them living in Knightsbridge - oh such a bummer eh.

Would it be presumptuous to think that these guys are gonna be a bunch complete choppers?


Shock horror, they actually seem to be a thoroughly charming, respectable and polite bunch of guys.


....Indeed they are! Not like the average Brit abroad.

I think the bloke in the flats missing a trick...go off on his hols,then rent his apartement out for the weeks that the supercars are there to the car spotters or some other petrolhead.
I know that all I would be doing is hanging off the balcony,dribbling like a loon.....

Besides,I bet that if an offer was made on their property of a few million,how long would the Knightsbridge residents hang around?
They'd be snapping up the readies and heading off to the Cheshire badlands. :laugh:

Those residents were presented as pompous twits and I'm sure they'll see  that in themselves if they view the programme. If someone was revving their 458/lambo outside my house at 1am I'd be outside telling them to turn it in, not having a residents meeting and writing to the Qatar embassy.

Loved the show and it's why I love driving in London, as you see some real exotic motors such as these all over the place.

....Pompous twits like that think that what they are is normal and they're usually so stuck in their ways that they won't change.

Yeah, it was a good watch and that boy pushing past with the brolly was quality tv :signLOL:

But as the interviewer said, had any of the people actually spoke to the drivers?
