\"Uber-pratmobileThe police have been “cracking down” in Knightsbridge. OK. Yah! Apparently, they seized cars like Bentleys, Porsches, Ferraris… and even a Bugatti Veyron for a variety of offences. An operation last night near Harrods involved a nhew Bentley (worth around \u00a3200,000) being seized. Offences include driving whilst banned, driving with no insurance, illegal number plates, over-tinted windows, and being arrogant twats (that last one isn’t covered by a specific law).<\/p>\n

Residents are kept awake by the sound of these cars racing around in the early hours.<\/p>\n

The culprits are mainly “young Middle Eastern men” – some of whom are thought to be members of the Qatari royal family. They come here to get away from the heat before Ramadan.<\/p>\n

Plebs with absolutely\u00a0no lives of their own regularly turn up to drool and take videos, which they post on YouTube.<\/p>\n

Stupidest quote of the year (Conflicting Logic category) goes to Madeline Elson, of the Kightsbridge Association’s law and order committee (so, stupidest organisation\u00a0title\u00a0as well), who said:<\/p>\n

We welcome Middle Eastern drivers to Knightsbridge to enjoy the atmosphere and freedom we offer. But perhaps the drivers of these high-performance cars are unaware that Knightsbridge has 4,000 residents, including many children. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah. And I also wonder how many of their pratmobiles will end up crushed. Not many, I’ll bet!<\/p>\n

What amazes me is that anyone would want to spend so much money on something, then try to wreck it by driving it badly. Complete morons – whatever car they drive, and wherever they come from.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
