I followed behind a C63 AMG the other day doing 50kmh down Victoria Dr, it didn't make more noise than mine.

The Arab guy that said "ferraris have a valve that open at 3000rpm that makes noise, its meant to be noisy" blah blah blah, just go blast it down a highway and nobody would care. Just don't blast it down their crowded neighbourhood streets.

We all get furious on Halloween night when ppl play fireworks all night long, these British residents have to suffer all summer long.

I actually think the whole point of the video was to show the other side of the complaints. It shows the perspective of the "arabs" and what their intentions are bringing these nice cars to the UK. I also think the point was to make the old school brits look racist and I think mission accomplished.

The lady at the end of video mentioned it was only a couple weeks in a year. Not all summer.

It's not just driving - it's also stuff like this happening

New Harrods Owners' $2.5M Supercars Booted (Outside Store They Bought For $2.5B)

They park illegally knowing full well that the fines mean nothing to them.

The problem is the "car spotters" without these people encouraging the behavior, the stupid antics would die down.

"car spotters" came after these people and their nice cars, car spotters aren't helping but they aren't the cause.

Just got back home from a lecture on research methods and couldn't help but think about the locals in this video. Cops and the complaining citizens are selectively observing and over generalizing these people, maybe due to racism or maybe due to jealousy. I'm sure there are improperly insured or noisy local cars but these interest groups just point their fingers at one select bunch of people because of their own biases.
Until they choose to approach the issue (reckless driving, noise in the middle of the night, etc.) objectively, we can't really respect these finger waggers

People making the documentary definitely had their agenda too though

+1. I agree that the makers of the documentary had their agenda in making the old Brits look like racists. Remember that one scene in the video where the old guy yells at the Arab kid for carrying an umbrella, and accidentally hitting him on the head. The Brit goes on a tirade to lecture the kid to close the umbrella, saying that he got poked in the eye.

These residents of Knightsbridge may have tunnel vision. Do they seriously think that some of the ballers in that area of London, ballers that are NOT Arab but white, don't also drive sports cars fast? Why are they just picking on the Arab kids? -sounds like a double standard to me.


FYI, I have a friend that's living in London now who's seen some white guys driving their sports cars fast through Knightsbridge, without ever getting harassed by the cops. The Arab guys, the "Gulfies" as some Brits call them, get cop harassment when they drive their cars.
If some young Brit baller, drives his Ferrari or Lambo, in the middle of the night at high speed through Knightsbridge, then the residents and the police need to focus on these speeders too.
There's gotta be like noise bylaws or at the very least speed limits in that area.

If the cops are gonna pull over the Arab boys in their cars because of improper insurance, licence plate issues, speeding, they need to enforce the law on all people, white, black, Arab etc. that break the law.

driving in london looks so confusing. All those narrow streets with a ridiculous amounts of signs and lines. Amazed there's no accident scenes. Also these arabs have terrible fashion.
