Only 'asian' weddings or was that a bit of flavour you added yourself?
Isn't it the norm to hire a load of cars like this and all drive around like knobs in them at Asian weddings?5 mins on YouTube leaves me with that impression.
Been to loads of non Asian weddings and never seen this behaviour
I suppose 'Traveller Prom Nights' could be another example of similar behaviour too
Each to their own like.
And what exactly do you mean by 'asian' or do they all look the same to you?

Trying to say they’re your cars as "whats my fathers is mine..." is cringeworthy. You have use of the cars… they’re not yours if you go on what any reasonable person would.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with having access to a bunch of great cars your dad owns… but imo it looks a bit pathetic keeping up the pretence that they’re actually yours. All imo of course but you’d come across far better online if you dropped this lie.
“any publicity is good publicity” - I don’t think thats quite true here. Sure you’re getting loads of Facebook fans or whatever… but other teenagers aren’t your target market are they ? You can’t sell a thing to them.
Personally (someone who’s young enough to still use social media, but old enough to actually be able to afford to buy or hire decent cars) I think the promotional stuff is horrendous… to the point I’d never rent or buy from your company. Just like I wouldn’t buy from Tom Hartley Jr either. Maybe thats just me though… I don’t know (or care) what anyone else thinks on that front.
I do find some of the stuff you do funny in a way… and I don’t mean this to be rude but you do come across as a bit of a knob on social media at times! Like I said earlier in the thread though… I was doing equally stupid and embarrassing s
t when I was your age (minus the super cars obviously) and I’m thankful now that camera phones, youtube, twitter etc didn’t exist then. I think (or hope) you’re going to look back on these videos etc and cringe with embarrassment at some point…. but until then I’m sure you’ll have a great time 
Loving the colour on the new Roadster btw - definitely the colour I'll be going for when they drop down to a price level I can afford
Definitely need to try and avoid yours after its done 100 asian weddings between now and then though

I would assume servicing is in house as the warranty is surely invalid when used for hire or reward
Why would a warranty be invalid due to the car being hired? As long as it's serviced correctly....
The type of childish behaviour and total lack of driver ability is what gets you guys criticised. We all love seeing nice exotica, but please, please stop all the "look at me, I'm a rich kid with a Lambo" behavior. And Aleem, you seem like a nice kid, but you need to stop claiming that these are your cars, and you will get a lot more respect if you say, this is me with one of the cars from my Father's rental fleet. I'm afraid that you are setting you up for a fall, if you continue it. Respect to you, for coming on to PHs. I'm surprised that you didn't put on an aspestos fire suit first!

Ah. This is something I underand given my Asian heritage. You see, a typical Asian family unit is very close knit, with the strongest bond being usually between father and son. An Asian father could never ask for more than for his son to be his partner in business. You see, if you asked Aleem 's dad if his son owned the cars he would say yes, and he would mean it. In this kind of family unit, ownership does not reduce down to any single person. The paperwork might says so but that's a technicality.There is absolutely nothing wrong with having access to a bunch of great cars your dad owns… but imo it looks a bit pathetic keeping up the pretence that they’re actually yours.

It's not really a technicality though is it?He doesn't own them. At 19 years old he didn't start a Business thats been so successful that he can own £3m's worth of cars. His Dad did, and he's piggy backing off it.
He's then lording it up on the internet misleading people into thinking that he owns them.
He owns them no more than I own own all the stuff that is my currently my Dad's.

But Sarnie, you're mistaking fact and the law for how people decide to feel about stuff for whatever reason, how dare you!He doesn't own them. At 19 years old he didn't start a Business thats been so successful that he can own £3m's worth of cars. His Dad did, and he's piggy backing off it.

I hear what you're saying but I guess my point is "to all intents and purposes", the cars might as well be his. He doesn't own them. At 19 years old he didn't start a Business thats been so successful that he can own £3m's worth of cars. His Dad did, and he's piggy backing off it.

I built my own business but I know that my fathers business and all his assets are mine as much as his. In fact I remortgaged one of "his" houses to fund a business many years ago. We spoke about the sense of doing this but at no point was there ever a question that I couldn't do this - by law the house was his bug that was just paperwork. It goes the other way too. Now that he's getting older the full financial burden if his care rests with me and my siblings - it's just how this culture does things. My heritage promotes things I don't always agree with but this part is pretty effective. I think I'm taking this very off topic, this is PH not Al Jazeera forum! Apologies I'll shut the hell up.
Unfortunately, Britain has a love for hating people that have done well or have things better than them
Most of the people who live, work, shop or sightsee in those parts of London are not petrol heads and would most likely find a 108db exhaust 10foot from them revving away for show pretty annoying (probably much like myself after about two revs)
I'd suggest that all this type of behaviour does is provide a catalyst for this hatred and makes life for other nice car driving petrol heads in London difficult as instantly people will expect you to be an <insert 4 letter word> just by the car you drive
Fwiw, I met Aleem once, and although I'd actually expected him to be a boner, simply by his insistence to call himself 'lord', he's a pretty sound lad and very in to his cars

Yep. Lived in the US for a couple of years and coming back was an eye opener. This country ( and the forums on this site) is full of sour puss, miserable, neg heads that will criticise and attack success in any way possible. It's baked into our language eg US: CEO, UK: Greedy fat cats. I blame this country's decline partly because of all the stifled innovation and original thought that never gets past the naysayers and cynics. Rant over. Nice cars Aleem, hope to see them in the metal one day. SlartiF430 said:

^^This is peoples problem. Lord Aleem is telling people on the net that they are HIS.
He's not saying on you tube "to all intents and purposes they might as well be mine".
He's saying that he's a 19 year old kid "On his way to pick up HIS second Aventador" etc.
Which is a complete lie. When my Dad buys a new car, I don't post a pic on PH saying it's mine, with an invisible caveat that it'll be mine when my Dad dies and I inherit it, therefore on a "technicality" I can claim it to be mine.

B0llocks mate. The British culture is not about attacking the successful or bringing down the wealthy. The Americans, many Asian and Middle Eastern culture are all about shouting about what they have, they believe that what they 'own' defines them, he with the most toys wins. It is not about what they have 'earned' or worked hard for, if they can rent it, finance it, borrow it, steal it or leech it off their parents, then they will consider it ownership and ensure everyone knows about it. But British culture has never been about that, as a proud nation that once pretty much ruled the world and who have achieved so much for such a small country, are defined by the deeds we do, not the cars we drive. Modesty, maturity, quiet confidence, and taste are qualities we aspire to, unlike many other cultures, especially Asian. In general no one is really impressed with some rich kid who's revving the nuts of his Dad's Lambo while parked next to a kerb, or doing 0-16mph sprints in 1st gear inches from the public and kids. It's not a case of sour puss, it's a case of genuinely not being impressed by it. People call it cringeworthy because, well it is.
And as for calling yourself 'Lord' .... words fail me. I would love to introduce Aleem to a genuine Lord.
Yours respectfully,
