Nothing about it adds up, and it certainly doesn't add up to a money making business as pretty anyone who has ever owned a super car knows, even if they are rented out regularly.

Very few things can take you from a couple of used cars to a brand new fleet in the period of time it appears to have taken place & so it seems at best very unlikely. None of my business, but he does keep popping up everywhere and so it makes people want to speculate, including me, I wish it didn't!

To me it looks more like a personal collection with a few rentals thrown in, which is my speculation.

Seems like a nice enough kid, but I'm pretty sure it will end up biting him at some point, which is unfortunate.

very few things legal, but if it was illegal he's hardly keeping it quiet, some lovely motors

I bet there is a lot of cash that the HMRC never get to see in this wedding car rental gig.

And all the VAT back on the cars would help somewhat.

Sure the business is a front to hide the toys bought from his lottery win.... He is Islamic and gambling is forbidden.... This legitimises it, to a degree.... Kids craves attention, no surprise there....

On another note, as a petrolhead and Asian dad, what a waste of money those wedding convoys are...

Here here.

Never quite understood whats supposed to be portrayed by assembling a load of cars and revving the nuts off them, what's that got to do with getting married? It's not even a show of wealth when they are so obviously rentals......

He has denied "on line" that he won the lottery.

I wonder if Dealers bid considerably lower for cars like these on trade-in ?

I would not touch a car that had been owned by any firm like this.

Are their identities hidden (new plates) when back on the market ?

Imagine buying one of those poor Lambo's used ! I would be gutted
I seem to remember reading that two of the Murcielagos currently for sale, are ex-rentals, and have been for sale for eons.

The wedding convoy makes me cringe. Just don't get these Asian weddings.

Definitely not a personal collection, who would have 8+ Rolls Royce Phantoms in a personal collection? and multiple of the same car...

It's a cover up for something. The father is known in certain circles. I will let you come to your own conclusions.

So i finally decided to join the pistonheads family and create and account for myself.

After following this discussion for a while now its not only sad to see what people say and how wrong it is but it can also be upsetting at times but i respect that people will have opinions and questions as to who and what i am, and the whole "spoilt daddys boy" stigma that comes with it.

Firstly, i will say it once again i have not won the lottery and still til this day it makes me laugh when i have to tell people im not a lottery winner... i wish i was! all you have to do is visit the euromillions website and see that there was never a £22m win around that time, in addition to this if you read the article carefully it questions if i am a lottery winner not that i am. Obviously it makes for good reading for people hence why they like to make up rubbish stories.

As for me claiming to be my cars well yes they are my cars. I was brought up to know that whats my fathers is also mine and we stick together like a family work together and support each other on to bigger and better things. I work alongside my father in the social media side of things and i am in charge of doing market research and buying cars accordingly for my clients. I choose the spec, i sign the cheques and i make the decisions and negotiate deals when it comes to buying. Yes i may be young but i know what im doing. My father does the sales side.

As for people questioning my business, i wouldn't be buying more and more cars if my client base wasn't strong. PET is a very well established company in the car hire sector and we do over 1000 weddings annually and that figure is still growing and i am very proud at what my father and i have achieved.

People will now wonder where did the start up money come from? My father was a car dealer and owned multiple hand car washes many years ago. He had been saving up for many years obviously enjoying himself along the way buying cars as that was his passion. PET came about in 2006 and we haven't looked back since.

As for the dodgy business theories, if you think what we are doing is dodgy i suggest you notify crimestoppers or the relevant authorities as i have nothing to hide. You must be very stupid to showcase all these cars and be doing illegal things. Crime doesn't pay and yes there are articles where you may have read about my father many years ago, all i can say is you can judge someone from what you reas but judge someone properly when you get to know them. Young and naive and got dragged into mess by his "friends"

The 2 Aventadors revving it up was just for the tourists and car spotters and at the time it was something which thy enjoyed, looking back at it i guess it doesnt't look good but you live and learn and each day you aim to better yourself, i only do what i do on social media for car lovers to get an insight into my world as i love sharing my passion.

I respect that you all have your opinions of me and thats fine but believe me, i'm just a normal guy like the rest of us nobody special, but i have been blessed with cars and thats all there is to it.

Thank You for reading, i hope it clears some things up and i look forward to meeting some of you guys at car meets and other event.

Respect to you Aleem, for replying. I know you are young and ambitious, but do yourself a favour, stop the posy pics of you draped over your cars and buying La Boutin shoes (spelling probably wrong). Showcase the cars, yes. But cut out the childish and embarassing driving behaviour. Revving these cars outside Harrods does nothing to promote your Father's business, except on the negative side. Take a page out of Tom Hartley Jnr's book and work along side your Father, but stay out of the limelight. The new car is a stunner, but just use it with mature respect. So the cars belong to your Father then. How does that make them yours my friend? Rant over Aleem. I wish you every success, but please mature gracefully.

I'm sure i mentioned in my post "whats my fathers is mine..." and any publicity is good publicity. I'm not here to copy Tom Hartley and Co I'm here to be me. The whole social media presence has opened up opportunities i could only dream of which you guys will find out in time. You have to also remember im 19 years old... most 19 year old are out getting pissed every weekend, doing drugs and other stuff which is far worse than me uploading pictures of my shoes. Its about motivating people as much as it is sharing your passion. im pretty sure out of 1000 car pictures 15-20 or so not being cars is ok, right? again im not here to argue with you buddy you're entitled to your own opinion and i respect that. Have a good day buddy.
