Love this.

Amazing the amount of green eyed buffoons that come out. Who cares how they got the money.

It's only a car and they are having a good laugh and making entertaining vids.

Get over it.

Btw, the dad made £300m selling Foxtons.....but.....it's now worth a cool billion !! Amazing really

I think the reason that Foxtons are a bunch of shyster bds is reason enough to care.

Indeed: "During the eight-month investigation, undercover [BBC] reporters ... found agents putting forward false offers, faking landlords' signatures and falsifying documents to inflate property prices.

The reporters spent three months working in multi-million pound agency Foxtons ..."

If they had real balls they'd not use the generic plate...

[rogerhudson]

The driver has no idea how to get into a car whose doors open the right way, rear hinged coach doors. It's bum first, ducking the head if it's a low roof and then swing the feet in. Getting out is even better, just step out.
That Wraith is a great car though i think the tyres are too skinny( low profile). How did the GPS enabled gearbox cope with the garden? No little onscreen message to say "off-road"?

I like that attitude.

There was a guy stopped on a gum ball type run and asked by border control why he had over 10,000 euros in cash in his Bentley....his response was "because I am rich!"

The Wraith was lent to them for the video.

By Rolls-Royce themselves, apparently.

it's extremely likely that this is the case, a lot of the cars are lent to them by 'associates' on the proviso that they don't actually damage them (and weirdly enough they don't - even the f50 clutches survived the tug of war)
the last royce that they used was lent to an 'associate' by RRGB and as it was the only LWB phantom in that colour in the country tracing it was pretty easy!!!! RRGB were not very happy at the time but once they saw how many youtube views it had had, they changed their tune and TAADAA a wraith appears on a video, funny that!!!!!

All is not what it appears... it's not as simple as some rich bloke's simple son joyriding his dads cars - there isn't all that much f**k the establishment going on. it's just a youtube channel when all's said and done

[996jim]

Do you know them ? Have you met them ?
If not how can you pass judgement on them. One thing though, they can handle a car. Sounds like your a little jealous.

It's great - good on 'em.

Really?

All they've done is been born into a rich family and now make vulgar videos to show it off.

I enjoyed the video - but being disrespectful to something you haven't earned isn't cool in my book - regardless of if Daddy has said it's OK.

You know what? You may be right about their financial status. But, in terms of this video, who cares how they got it? It's about the cars, not about the people driving them. If you want to do this type of thing and if you have self-belief you'd feel inspired to do this one day and actually own the cars - if you want it that badly. Do it by earning it yourself - are you up for the challenge? Or would you rather accept that you can't/won't achieve that and resort to being negative about other people to belittle them even when that's not even the point of the video in question? What's holding you back, man? Is there someone preventing you from attaining these things? Just go for it if you want it and don't be concerned about how other people have what they have.

Yeah, I just don't really get. I know there doesn't have to be a "why"... but why?!

Simple answer, it'd be brilliant fun.

Are you honestly saying that, if you were offered the chance to do that, you would refuse?

(If so, you're probably on the wrong site.)

Great video, well produced, particularly loved the drone shots - two thumbs up, please keep the, coming.

I would do the same. Then I would film it and put it on youtube to see how annoyed people get about me doing it

Read the whole thread. I was thinking of something to post. What he ^^^^^^ said.sus it up.

[DS240]

It's a bit of fun. Expensive cars that you don't normally see or expect to be driven in that manner is interesting to see.

I don't care who's doing it or how rich they are. There's fortunate people who have either worked for it, got lucky or were simply born into money..... Get over it, that is life.

[F1GTRUeno]

I couldn't care less how they got their money, if it's theirs, if the cars are theirs or whatever, it's refreshing to see this cars being used for a bit of fun and actually driven in a manner that makes the most of their capabilities.

That said, I cannot stand the Wraith, every inch the new money, chintzy, blingy, bloody awful looking thing that people who haven't earned their money would buy so they can park it in the high street and imagine that people actually care about them.

Would've looked better if they'd crashed it, goppingly horrible thing.

Glad I don't have to mow that lawn every week....
