Just to add, he's also well known for constructing one of London's largest 'cellars' under his Kensington home.
And i quote: "Engineers dug a 22m-deep hole beneath his garden to house a tennis court, pool and gym, as well as an extensive private museum/garage for his collection of vintage Ferraris. The cavernous chamber would be illuminated from above, through the glass floor of a glistening rooftop infinity pool"
Nice!
That sounds a handy thing to have Mmm.And i quote: "Engineers dug a 22m-deep hole beneath his garden to house a tennis court, pool and gym, as well as an extensive private museum/garage for his collection of vintage Ferraris.

I didn't think that video was much good. More sub-par Gymkhana stuff that Ken Block does so much better. Though they do serve to illustrate the irrelevance of supercars on British roads. Yes, the drivers on show here obviously aren't 'serious drivers', but the cars just look bulky and unwieldy. Hardly as Maranello intended! It would be a much more entertaining with with a mk2 Escort rally car with a straight through exhaust!
And the tow rope bit was just naff, and pointless. At least seeing those F50's slugging round twisty little lanes and bumping over ruts in the tarmac goes some way to killing the dream of owning one in the UK, where you'd be better off in the above mentioned Escort!

Good on them. Not their fault they're born into millions. Tell me you wouldn't do the same...
I would not do the same.If the same behaviour was by 2 hoodies in Vauxhall Novas in a deserted childs playground on a sink estate it would be condemned as utterley irresponsible. These 2 rich plonkers are no better. Just because wealth gives a person expensive assets does not justify those assets being stupidly abused. What next...these 2 plonkers smearing diesel over a Rembrandt, or perhaps pouring paint over a Chippendale table?
If my father had made £300+ million from the sale of a business he'd built up himself, then I would literally not give a crap about what some people have said on here. The whole point of being rich is so you can share it with those you love.
Besides, his son is a winning rally driver of sorts. So it's not like he doesn't have the talent to muck about with such 'exotica'. He probably knows far more about the mechanics of these vehicles than any of those commenting here.
As far as I'm concerned he can rag as many cars as he wants. It's on private land and the cars will probably have a full service afterwards. A lot of what's been said in this thread just proves to me why large swathes of our society are probably best ignored!

te.That was crap, I don't see why they thought that abusing a couple of cars for the sake of a film was a good idea, it doesn't matter if it's £500,000 of Ferrari or £500 of Corsa. If they had taken them to Germany, done some stuff at the ring, did some sliproad bombing runs and high speed autobahn stuff it might have been more exciting than watching two cars burn their clutches in a barn. Regardless of whether they can afford it etc, it was a dull watch.
