He was at a stall at an Asian Wedding Exhibtion targeting Asian Weddings (Pakistani and Indian!) a couple of weeks back. Was present at the stand himself and had his P1 and La Ferrari on display.

Strange decision IMHO, not that he needs the cash...or does he smile

Can't help but feel that the market he is targeting would rather be crashing driving (and seen to be driving) the cars themselves, rather than being chauffeured around?

Also I don't imagine it'll be particularly cheap to be chauffeured around in a hypercar either. I tend to believe that people getting chauffeured to weddings and the like would be looking for it to be done fairly cheaply, if not free, simply because as an experience it's nothing like actually driving the things yourself.

Wow,

KFC comes across as a giant strap on in that thread, really no need for it.

No different to owning a Superyacht and chartering it out occasionally to offset some of the running costs. Even Abramovich does it.

I expect putting cars through a business (and for hire) will help with tax somwehere. You'll never be able to actually hire them of course: they'll always be booked whenever you call..

His wife is kinda hot, lol.

Looks like a tax or extra-revenue thing. Just a quick scan of the website suggests you could quickly generate an additional 1-5 million quid of turnover per year.

Bailey won that one.

Maybe the business is now officially operating from another company hq address? Then again, the article claims that the complainants failed in their attempt to prevent the Baileys running a business from their home.

Of course she is, he is rich. He would probably be with a woman who looks like himself if he was working in a call centre.

I know it was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment but Selena has been with him from the very beginning when he didn't have millions of pounds.
