How do you know he's worked hard? There's plenty of tossers out there who've had a big helping hand being in the family business when there's no way they'd cut it if they had to stand on their own two feet. Of course they don't see it that way and don't like to be reminded of the fact. There are few successful people who've started with jack nothing and not had assistance on the way. Who was it who said the first million is the most difficult and it's easy from there.

Bloody good effort if you ask me, nice staging too - arranging to pick em up same day like that. I'd probably do the same if I had the cash.
Bloke near me has all three I think, he runs Knight Frank Monaco, not sure about the La Ferrari, but defo the other two...

I get irritated with things like this and no; I'm not jealous of him having those cars.
I know it's unrealistic but I just wish the world had a slightly better distribution of wealth. When you have seen some of the things I have seen then it really underlines how unfair life can be for some people who desperately need money to survive.
When I see people with so much it just bugs me, but hey thats life and I guess it will always be like that.

Stupid way to spend a fairly limited fortune, but it's his money!
You are assuming that's all his moneyYou think they both came from nowhere and earned nothing as they built the business, then paid the money into a current account and spent the last 4 years just spending it?
I have very, very, briefly met Paul at an RMA track day with his P1 - we (missus and I) commented on the valeter who came along to clean it for him (it was going to be on telly!) and he seemed a down to earth sort of guy and was helping Mission Motorsport with passenger rides etc.
Good luck to him I say - apparently he has around 30 cars - so clearly a petrol head like us lot.

You really cannot be serious. Far better to be happy with whatever you do have than unhappy about whatever you don't.Andyjc86 said:
Fair play to the guy, Christ theirs some bitter people on here!
At the end of the day, the money isn't gone, he could always sell them for a large sum, should money become tight......
As I said shrewd investment with the added bonus of getting to own and use three extremely exotic and desirable cars. Fair play. At the end of the day, the money isn't gone, he could always sell them for a large sum, should money become tight......
