Visiting London to see the supercars

IMG_4096-300x300.jpg

In London recently visiting an office near Palace Gate (SW1) I spotted three Bentley Bentaygas parked casually along the neighborhood streets. The one pictured can reach 190 mph and will leave little change from £150K. The ultimate SUV, 4 by 4, ‘Chelsea tractor.’ On showing this photo to a colleague, something of a ‘petrol head’, he informed me that there were certain areas of London that young tourists visit just to see rare and expensive supercars in the flesh – Mayfair (especially Bond Street), Chelsea, Belgravia and even Hampstead (for the cars of Russian oligarchs.) The summer months are best (June July August) when wealthy Middle Eastern owners of supecars visit London to escape the heat..He said that the tourists sometimes encourage the owners, usually young guys, to rev them up to hear the roar of the engine. In one instance the driver forgot he was in gear and shot forward into another supercar wrecking both. I blame Jeremy Clarkson..
