Oh I forgot you're not allowed to critcise wealthy people, no matter how stupid they may be, for fear of being labelled jealous

Or poor people, or...

Everything's 'good!' these days. Or 'awesome', even worse!

Any form of dissent will be ruthlessly crushed!

So long as it's constructive/well argued criticism, long may it continue here!

Why do you say they are stupid?

I think the rule is, you're not supposed to criticise people (wealthy or poor) based on your ill founded assumptions when there are those that probably think the same of you from their perspective.

Actually you allowed to criticise whoever you like. Same as others are allowed to criticise you for being a jealous hypocrite.

I think its the fact that they are young, rich, arab and obviously getting laid every night in posh clubs in Kensington, rather than being the usual old sods you see in Fezzas with their collostomie bags is what is irritating a few people on here -presumably the same people who when they get negative comments off others label it as jealousy...

This car belongs to the son of the King of Bahrain, Sheik Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa his name is, who gave it him as a present - apparently it's usually parked at the Dorchester where he has a suite. Was in the paper today.

There's a blue/black Veyron in the second hand merc dealers showroom just after hanger lane on the A40 eastbound. Keep meaning to stop and have a look but I'm always passing too late in the evening....

Sure the wing was higher when I saw it - they can be raised right?

Have to assume was same car, RRR logo's colour etc in London. though Im pretty sure he had stickers on rear qtr panel - maybe he removed as looked shite.

be interested to know what the driver looked like - bet there are a few of them using it, he must have better things to do than drive the same cruise every night.

to the guy though! Awesome machine to see in the flesh on the road - agreed - not so loud at all.
