That's just splitting hairs. You do know that most court cases are aren't subject to technicalities (as seen in the movies) because one of the tokes of a judge is to see through technicalities. Possession being nine tenths of the law and all that?
Its just a straight up lie to say he sold a Gallardo when he was 16 though (and bought it when he was 12!)So he just comes across as a bit of a dreamer/liar... when he has the option of just coming across as a normal kid who has access to some great cars owned by his old man.
I don't know too much about the Asian culture but being a Landlord, I do know quite a few Asian families. Many of them seem to have 3 or more generations living in the same house along with extended family members also. This is an unusual arrangement for me as an Englishman as we tend to (and are encouraged to) leave the nest as soon as we're financially ready. I can see how Asians in this situation agree that all items belong to the whole 'Family' if they all contribute to the one household and have no intention of setting up home alone. When I lived at home with my Parents I used to say 'my parents have' rather than 'I have' or even 'we have'. Even though my Parents allowed me the use of the home, cars and other facilities I never thought of them as mine or even shared ownership. Even my bedroom of 19 years I never really thought of as my own, it was on loan until I bought my first house! Financially I think the Asian culture makes great sense, one rental/mortgage payment per mth and 6, 7, 8+ incomes! My extended-English family would rip each other apart if we all lived together. We can barely do 2 weeks each Summer.

I admire the close knit family thing of all living under one roof, but why does the whole family need to travel together?

I would imagine 99% of Aleem's customers are Pakistani or Indian just as around the same percent who own the corner shops where I live, its not racism its an observation, in the car trade I see a lot of Indian customer's who ask to see the V5 and won't buy if certain names are on the log book, is this racist?
There is a lot of speculation online it's a way to launder money but as I say, it's all speculation
Have you ever told them you observe they are 'Pakistani or Indian'? There is a lot of speculation online it's a way to launder money but as I say, it's all speculation
I'm struggling the see pork911's point too?
I live in rural Cornwall, there is a very small amount of Indian/Pakistani people down here, I can tell they are of Pakistani/Indian/similar descent, but it makes no odds to me which they are, I don't ask them and I don't see why I should care?
Observing that someone is from one particular race without having the knowledge to distinguish which is hardly racist is it?

I think most people would agree with the ethos of that, but in reality uk law and taxes and most of the Anglosphere are based on personal property not community or family property, it just a cultural difference.
The concept of guaranteed inheritance and family assets that exists in some places just doesn't apply here even if people believe in it, nice as it would be, there is a big tax bill or should his father choose for any reason at all to disinherit him or leave things to another sibling or anyone else, he has no recourse or rights to anything. That is why people are getting narky about saying his fathers or family property is his, as in reality it's just not the case (yet) technicality or not.
The test is: can he sell it without permission from his father and pocket the proceeds, and not haev to even tell his father he did so. If he can't, it's not his.The concept of guaranteed inheritance and family assets that exists in some places just doesn't apply here even if people believe in it, nice as it would be, there is a big tax bill or should his father choose for any reason at all to disinherit him or leave things to another sibling or anyone else, he has no recourse or rights to anything.

You're right but also surely the test is what it says on the V5! But oh no, laws don't apply, it;s all about how we choose to feel about stuffgjf764 said:
