Busted..

They both look great but the pearl white G should NOT have those extra white bits painted on the alloy...looks yanky trash.

Isn't that green one from Ecuri 25?

Strange, the bile acid green really does work with Lambo's.

Those cars are in pretty good company!!!

997 GT3 in the first pic, SLR in the second...Is it always like that in London?

It depends where you are but in the more affluent areas, yes, usually.

Yep...just go to Harrods on a Sat and you will see virtually all the super cars inmaginable probably within 3 hrs.

Come to Bham and see a supercar once / week if you're lucky!

And go to Spain and you may see a petrol car once a month !

neither of them are UK cars, they are all from UAE, infact nearly every nice car see in london has UAE, saudi or kuwait plates

Is it just me, or do a lot of the Arab owners have very dubious taste when it comes to there choice of colours etc?
Almost to the same extent as some of the American Rappers.

My thinking exactly.


BTW Why the hell do they want to come over here? I'd rather be over there! *looks out of the window*

ETA: perhaps they like to drive through Gatsos at <silly> mph, receive the fine, send back payment... plus a 10% tip, just because they have that much money.

I see neither the Gallardo or SLR has a front number plate... i wonder how many people get pulled for this in London? or if they are UAE cars, does anyone care?

[RobPhoboS]

You know what, you guys are right... if you are from the UAE -
WHATS THE BLEEDING POINT OF DRIVING AROUND A STINKING DIRTY HOLE LIKE LONDON ???

It reminds me of those people who have cruddy cars, yet still attempt to drive at their limits around a car park or a high street.

Agreed!
Whenever I visit London, I can't wait to get home and have a good bath.

Actually - I'm of the opinion that we actually have very "conservative" tastes.
And as for why the cars are driven around London - well there's no other city in the UK the mid-east guys choose to "summer" in. That and the fact that there's probably more wealth concentrated in London than any other big city in the entire world.

Because for these chaps a gayardo is a good town car: small, easy to park and just enough grunt to outrun the black cabs!

Besides, they ship the cars back or even have better cars in UAE for real driving...the wealth you see on the streets of London is sometimes difficult to comprehend...

Not actually. In the underground car park of my apartment block there were the follwing cars on UK plates:
Merc SLR
Murcie
Aston DB9 Volante
Bently GT
997 Turbo
430 spider
360
Boxters
911's

However, I do believe that the owner of most of these was from somewhere rich in oil.

But don't forget that the UK has 25 Veyrons registered there and that an SLR is not that hard to spot in London. I've seen two Enzo's there too, both UK plates. Lambos on UK plates don't raise an eylid unles they are painted in something bright. I won't even begin to mention how commom 911's are in London...

im chatting about what i see driving about london, i dont go to see apartment car parks however, so point taken

they come over here when the temperature over there is too hot and hits 50 degrees

[HeavySoul]

I quite like the Gallardo wheels actually
