Those guys with cameras chasing these cars around like stalkers are only encouraging it IMO, but that's no excuse for driving like a bell end.
There's a complicated story behind this one actually before you jump to conclusions.I didn't video this guy (one of the few cars I haven't) but he is a Sheik from Iraq, very important, and came to all of the spotters saying words to the effect of "film me, I'm going to be an idiot and I want to get into all of the papers". Well that's happened and due to diplomatic immunity nothing will happen to him.
He was trying to make the point that he's "the new boy in town" etc and none of the spotters agree that this is the right behaviour - believe me we all talk - but that's down to him.
If a driver can't resist being a plonker because there's a camera pointing at them then they really need to sort their lives out. I'm sad that this particular idiot has probably ruined a good summer for car spotters but I want to reiterate that he did not drive like this because of the cameras; he got the cameras to be there at his request to do it in the first place.

That's pretty shocking.I didn't video this guy (one of the few cars I haven't) but he is a Sheik from Iraq, very important, and came to all of the spotters saying words to the effect of "film me, I'm going to be an idiot and I want to get into all of the papers".

Poor and predictable DM article.
Was he even breaking 30mph and who blindly believes internet forum posters regarding anything let alone 120mph?
I don't see in the footage the claimed pedestrians jumping out of the way, plume of tyre smoke or narrowly missing the mini and oncoming bus.
He may well be a tool for various reasons but not as much as the reporter.

How about overtaking over a blind pedestrian crossing at probably around 70mph; yes 120mph is complete baloney but he's well through second gear before into third and flies by the 30mph driving Mini.
Zollar, those aren't his exact words but it was very much to that effect.
Yeah sorry I meant the mentality of the words is shocking!, to basically suggest to people that he's going to be an idiot in supercar in London is unbelievable!.Zollar, those aren't his exact words but it was very much to that effect.
As you said actions like that ruin it for everyone who are being sensible in their supercars.

If he's specifically asked to be filmed by them, how is he not driving like that for the cameras? A lot of them are clearly showing off for the 'spotters'I didn't video this guy (one of the few cars I haven't) but he is a Sheik from Iraq, very important, and came to all of the spotters saying words to the effect of "film me, I'm going to be an idiot and I want to get into all of the papers".
