It is an extreme example but i know a couple of utter bell ends who rented a Gallardo as a wedding car for about £1500 and by the time they returned it on the Monday they had made back a bit more than the rental cost.

Not unusual.

I've recently left London, Tower Hamlets to be precise. It's this sort of thing which made a move to the English countryside such a joy. I don't have to put up with it any more.

Every weekend the Asda car park at Canary Wharf was crammed with idiotic youths and rented fast cars.

It goes like this.

1. Mr X (aged 50) rents a Gallardo/R8/Conti GT (usually a white one) for say £1000 a day. Pays cash and uses hooky documents so he's untraceable.

2. Mr X rents said Gallardo/R8/Conti GT to local yoofs with directional hair and long pointy shoes who have no licences, and no right to be driving the hired car for short period so that they can drive it like pricks and show off to their dumb mates and vacant bandy legged 14 year old girlfriends.

Normally Mr X charges around £200 in used notes innit for a 15 minute hoon, during which the unlicensed yoofs will rag the poor car in first gear bouncing off the limiter and perform donuts in the said Asds car park, threatening the lives of anyone unfortanate enough to be anywhere near at the time.

3.Mr X makes £800 in cash an hour out of this, so over a 12 hour day say £9,600, so he makes £8,600 profit (tax free all cash dough bruv innit innit innit dough bruv so I can still get housing benefit innit).

Tends to happen a lot at weddings and high school "proms" whatever the fk they are................


fking pricks of the highest order.

Sounds like absolute ste to me...
You should take your SV down there one day for a look.
The only bit I think you've got wrong Soov is that I am totally convinced that the "hire companies" are up to their eyeballs in collusion with this stuff.

Interesting idea. Given that I think such scum make up a fair proportion of the clientèle of the hire companies, it isn't in their interests to put a stop to the practices. However, given that the hire companies often don't own the cars in question - they hire them from the owners and sub-hire them to their own clients - it would be shockingly irresponsible if they were knowingly allowing this to happen.

Six year sentance
Video of crash here released by west miss police, travelling over 70mph in a 30 ...utter cock socket for that but even more so for leaving the scene
http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=...

Police statement here
We have released dramatic CCTV footage of a high speed crash, in which a woman lost her life, to show the consequences of speeding.
Saqib Hussain was sentenced to six years in prison yesterday for causing Noreen Ryan's death after the Audi R8 Spyder he was driving at 76mph crashed into the car Ms Ryan was travelling in, while in a thirty zone.
The 25-year-old was speeding along Shaftmoor Lane in Acocks Green at around 11.30pm on 26 August when he ploughed into the Ford Fiesta, in which Ms Ryan was the front seat passenger, as it pulled out of Reddings Lane.
Sadly, the impact on the Fiesta was so great that Ms Ryan received multiple injuries and despite the best efforts of the emergency services, she was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital.
Ms Ryan's sister Mary was the driver of the Fiesta and was trapped in her seat, suffering from serious injuries to her back and pelvis.
When officers arrived at the scene, the Audi was still there but nobody was with it. Witnesses recalled seeing two men leave the car and get inside a Mercedes, which arrived shortly after the crash, before driving off.
Clearly this was a serious collision and officers were also concerned about the welfare of the occupants of the Audi, so local hospitals were made aware of what had happened.
Less than half an hour after the crash, we got a call from Solihull Hospital. Hussain had gone there to drop off his passenger in the Audi, who had suffered a nasty facial injury in the collision. We immediately went to the hospital however, Hussain had already left and his friend maintained he had received his injuries in an assault.
At around 3am the next day, Hussain finally handed himself in at Stechford Police Station and was subsequently arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
He was later charged with the offence and also two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, causing death by driving a vehicle while uninsured and failing to stop at the scene of a collision.
Hussain of Alexander Road, Acocks Green, pleaded guilty to all the offences and was handed a six year prison sentence at Birmingham Crown Court yesterday.
Anyone who is tempted to put their foot down consider the consequences before doing so. Could you live with yourself if you killed someone and would your loved ones cope if you were sent to prison? It simply isn't worth the risk.

Well well. Saqib Hussain, eh? Who'd have thunk the perp had a name like that? I wonder if he was at this wedding here:

(Taken from this thread.)

I also wonder what happened to the guy who originally hired the car, and who sub-hired it to Hussain. (And what checks were done on the car hire company).

The guy did a bad thing and has been dealt with by the courts.

Other than to try and perpetuate a racist view I don't see the point in comments like the above.

A sweeping generalisation, stereotyping bordering on racism. Excellent stuff.

Really? And you know ths how?

Does it matter that it's a letted supercar? Young lads have been thrashing around high performance cars for as long as there have been high performance cars. They've also been crashing them into other road users. It's not like you that inccident couldn't have happened in a Focus RS is it. I'm sure I could pull up any number of reports of similar crashes that involved drivers from a multitude of backgrounds. The name and ethnicity of the driver is an irrelevance and only of interest to people who would wish to use it as a way of justifying a predjudice.

How puzzling, speed has nothing to do with it. It's the fault of the other car for emerging without checking properly. (Well that's the position the people that support motorbikes doing 97mph and killing themselves will need to adopt to be consistent with their posts on the relevant thread anyway).

As regards a problem with a certain demographic driving with lunatic irresponsibility? That is as real as London muggers, tube bombers etc. etc.
Anybody that says it is racist to point that out, has an agenda. Of course that does not mean the problem is entirely restricted to the stereotype.

Wasn't the biker doing 97 in a 60 or a 70 zone?

The Audi here was going a far higher % over the limit. At some point the speeder is just going too fast for the other driver to realistically be expected to see whats coming.

To add to this, I use this junction everyday to and from work, from where the fiesta emerges looking left where the R8 is speeding from, there is a brow of a hill about 50 metres away, this would obscure the approaching Audi travelling at speed from the view of the fiesta driver, once over this brow and travelling at over twice the speed limit there was not much the fiesta driver could do to avoid the collision, its completely down to the speeder.

While it's no get out for the Audi driver it looks like the woman who pulled out got the rabbit in the headlights syndrome and stopped in front of the oncoming car.

He definately picked the wrong side of the fiesta to go round didn't he.

Never has 'if in doubt, flat out' been more true. If the poor women had hoofed it she would still be with us frown
