If you have 8 million quid available to spend on a fking car then someone got shafted somewhere along the line, and you don't have to be a corbyn voter to be disgusted at such blatant inequality. Christ, with £8m, I'd have a bloody huge collection of all sorts of weird and wonderful st - and all the time in the world to play with it, because I'd sure as st never be working again...

Blimey, you should knock that socialist chip off of your shoulder as it's really quite pathetic, envy is a terrible affliction. AH33 said:

So the guy is rich, so what. He spends a vast amount of his money on things which keep a great many people in work.
The car may not be to everyone's taste but that's the point. It's a one off built exclusively for him. He has more toys than you can imagine so it's pointless saying 'he could of spent x on x'. He probably already did.
If people are true car fans you have to admire this car, even if you don't find it aesthetically to your tastes. But just the sheer uniqueness and extravagance of it is awesome.

It's not really me, but it's the equivalent of handbuilt Rolls, Mercedes and Hispano Suiza stuff from decades ago. Imo it's putting Rolls Royce back where it once was, makers (not manufacturers) of beautifully made luxury cars for the super rich. I bet it's an astonishing thing in the flesh.
Bentley on the other hand make cars for footballers and p1keys. A marque ruined.

Really? Why?It's no more than a very large pile of money thrown at the question of "What can I have that nobody else has?"...
It's not particularly original, it's not particularly tasteful, it's not particularly stylish, it's not particularly well-thought-out.

I do believe that is the most badly proportioned car I've ever seen. Worse than the Ssangyoung Rodius because I do believe they actually attempted to style this, and still managed to mess it up.

trickle down effect is a lame bullst fed by the status quo. You cannot have a meaningful impact on the overall economy through the consumption of the top 0.1%. That's impossible by definition.
Depends what you define as trickle downIf you include working in say 'Topshop' are you part of the trickle down.
How many are employed by the top 1% in their business.
I bet there is more trickles down to the UK form the top 0.1% than trickles down from the UK to foreign aid.
