Doesn't make sense? £99 a day. So that's under £3,700 a year to hire a car every day. That's less than a full service for some of the cars that I've owned!
I very tempted to call scam - unless someone can enlighten me?
£99 multiplied by 365 is nearer £37,000 pa I very tempted to call scam - unless someone can enlighten me?

One question: why?F***wits like this are a menace to themselves and to others.
Been in London about 4 times this year, each time I have seen a few tasty supercars.
0% of this time have I seen any dangerous behaviour from Supercar owners.
100% of the time I have nearly run over a kid with a camera who runs into the road whilst staring at said camera Live View chasing whatever supercar is infront of me.
It is the "spotters" that need the firm hand of the law, not the car owners.
And this will only punish Britons because rich Saudis have diplomatic immunity and can't be prosecuted.

Yes, I have to agree, I have relatives and friends living in London and I have been visiting them at least 3 times a year since 2005. What I have witnessed growing in a crazy way are the spotters while the supercars owners/users have somehow restrained their behavior. I remember being woken up by a Murciélago at 3 AM with the hotel windows closed. I came to the window, the car was repeatedly drawing black stripes on the same stretch of tarmac. In the same weekend I was frightened by a F430 sliding while I was crossing that street on a corner in Russel Square. But it was back in 2010. Recently I did not witnessed anything like that. 0% of this time have I seen any dangerous behaviour from Supercar owners.
