Default Merc SLR and rari 430 today.

Just spent 3 days in south kensington.

I simply cant believe the money which exists up there. Sat outside a cafe, drinking stella for an hour last night.

Counted

1 x merc SLR
2 x 360 Modena
1 x 430
1 x Lambo Murch
More 911's than you can shake a stick at.

It really is ridiculous, got up this morning and there was another SLR parked outside my hotel.

Got back home this afternoon and started seeing Allegro's again

Got overtaken by an SLR on the Ring last Sat. It proceeded to get air on the rise at Flugplatz You don't see that everyday

I overtook a Bentley R that day too but the Scaglietti met the armco after too much tail out heroics

I see a lot in Soho, yesterday was a red 512M with the plate '999 COP' which I thought was amusing. Do the police get paid that much?!?

Just returned from 10 days vacation in St Tropez ... on any given night outside the Byblos Hotel: 3-4 scaglietti, 3-4 430s, 3-4 lambos, 5-10 360s, 10-20 911s, assorted 550s, AMGs, M5s, Rolls and the odd Bentley / Hummer / Pagani / other.
Never seen such "car park", not even in Monaco.

Indeed, respect to the driver! That's a seriously expensive car to be flinging around the Ring!

Lol thats very true apart from that one guy on Low Lane near Acklam who has an absolute abundance of exotica on his drive.

Last time i checked there was a new Roller, new Bentley Arnage of some sort, a 360, a SL55 AMG, Land Rover and a big **** off Limo. Middlesbrough puts Kensington to shame!

Gary, you would require your scoob, especially in the wet. I followed a MI16 205 pug in the wet and it wasn't pretty. Fergus was giving it death and he can pedal a mota but even my crap driving in the rain is too much for him in the pug.

Dorchester on thursday had

Enzo
430 with almost matching plates to the Enzo
RR phantom + 2 Range Rover Sports in escort
DB9


Berkley square had a Dodge Ram SRT 10 - viper engined one
SL65 AMG
Aston Vantage 600LM
Countless Bentley GT's including a pearl white one

Very useful in london where the average speed has dropped below 10mph! I like overtaking cars on my push bike!

Very true did saw a Phantom with the numberplate ROB1E (or similar) there the other day, wouldn't want to wager on who that belonged to

Continental GT's are almost as common as 911's round these parts very upseting that none of them are mine though!

I was at the Hilton Park lane yesterday and there was a silver SLR parked up there.

Wifey could'nt understand my excitement as she thought it was 'just another silver mercedes'

On my short walk back to my car saw 2X 430 Spyders and countless GTs including a pearl white one. Around there it seems to be mainly middle eastern money. Oil is expensive these days!!!
