Pathetic! I can't believe they are all so repetitively shallow and attention seeking. It appears they genuinely have nothing better to do.

I quite enjoyed watching that, I don't know why they want to drive around London town in those cars though, what a waste of time.

Capital of Great Britain and it's where the hottest babe are :drunken: or meant to be ...... To be honest i don't think London will stop them as it's a very nice income every year.

Its no different to the drive down to Le Mans..... Except that the French embrace all the fast cars that travel to their villages by sitting in the street with wine and food enjoying the beautiful cars.... If I had a balcony in knightsbridge and it bothered me that much I could probably afford to bugger off for a week if it was that bad, but to be honest I'd probably be out there enjoying the action 24/7....

Dunno why anyone in central London expects peace and quiet - and notably it just seemed a handful of people with nothing to do that were complaining.

I've lived in Knightsbridge just a cross the street from Harrods. It is a permanantly busy traffic area 24/7 Apart form the traffic noise - you have 24/7 noise of police & ambulance sirens etc. London is also full of sports cars and motor bikes.

It's like the people up there who moan at people who smoke - then sit outside and eat at a pavement restaraunt - breathing in the bus and lorry fumes.

Spot on RedRider, my feelings exactly.

I think the Police are right to clamp down on the car's being legal, especially the insurance and number plate bits, it takes the mickey for them to think they should be able to get away with laws that we have to uphold, but the car revving and the odd chirping of tyres should be something embraced as a festival in the area.. maybe even making more of it to bring in extra tourism.

At the end of the day, I bet there are people in Monaco who complain about all those F1 cars zipping around under their multi million pound balconies once a year.

As for the Arab after the police impound his car, who suddenly had the attitude "I hate London" after spending the whole show earlier saying how much he loves it and after spending a fortune shipping his cars there, to be honest, F*** off home, if I stole a loaf of bread in his country, I would expect to have my hands cut off and would accept it without expecting sympathy, if you expect to come here and not be legal, expect to be treated how I would be treated... Apart from that, have fun, make some noise and show enough respect.

The police officer did seem super excited to be impounding a Lambourghini :0) and the Arab suddenly resembled a little boy who had lost his favourite dummy. aarrhhhhhh shame! :evil2: :mrgreen:

The guy showed his paperwork but the officer didn't/couldn't/wouldn't confirm it was legit, so impounded his car...!! WTF (they even said later in the program that it was legit)
When your gently cruising through Europe and you get stopped for a papers check- just think how you would feel if the feds said the same to you! :?

True meaning of Nimbys...

I was actualy on that road yesterday and it was full of Taxis!!
