My research and comments is based on what I see and hear everyday in London! My comments can come across as racist....but I'm a foreigner myself and come from a REAL multi cultural country!....not a fake ass "multi cultural" city called London!....Quite funny how English people use the term multi cultural!!!....even in the programme....clearly its about arabs ....and yet they describe knightbridge becoming more "multi cultural".... maybe i have a different view on the definition of multi cultural!.... |

well multi cultural for me, means different cultures/ races in one particular area or location....
the people on tv, describe Brixton, Chinatown or Tooting as "multi cultural"?! ...where clearly, theres a majority of black/ indian/ chinese in these areas....so how can it be "multi" when theres a "majority"....Not saying that it's bad or not....but just saying it's NOT multi cultural... some "clever" numpty is going to ask me for stats now!...wait for it!!!... |

I watched it. Nice cars and the Arabs came accross well to me. Only thing I would ask is whether they let the cars warm up before hammering them.
Wonder how often they check the oil etc. great having money and flash cars but would Be nice to know they cherish them.

loved it. well funny.
hope the thing was edited for the daily mail set, the brits came across really badly, lots of terribly pompous under currents of racism. there's a load of Saxos round here with blowing exhausts, wonder if c4 will come round mine ha. would love to have to ask myself every morning 'which super car shall I take today' no accounting for taste in colours and mods thou. but I guess if a normal Lamborghini is boring to guys like that they have to try to make it different |

I thought it was really good. I thought the guys came across as alright and was impressed the documentary crew filmed the guy at the end saying "Yeah, you know what, listening to this at 1am is not great when people are trying to sleep, I will not use the car after midnight."
Showed the guys were not just completely selfish. I don't think they are, they are on holiday in London and having fun. Let's just think back to how most of us have behaved on lads holidays in Ibiza or Vegas, we have all been selfish arseholes before. The old folk did come across as a bit racist, but this is a tricky one. The fact is some young lads are causing loads of grief and they happen to be a different race, I guess the remember the good old days of London in the swinging 60's where it was all hippy Brits etc. If it had been loads of young English kids driving around they would have just moaned at the 'hoodies' but the fact is the ones that are annoying them are a different race, so they will always come across as they did, it isn't the same England as it used to be, we will probably all be on here moaning in 40 years time when we are 80 about how the planet was so much better when we just had earthlings living in our neighbourhood!! Good programme though, enjoyed it. |

To be fair, London is one of the most multi cultural Cities in the World.
Maybe not Knightsbridge specifically but that is because nobody other than the very well off can afford to live there.

I'm Mauritian too
About the program, I'm from London and often go to Knightsbridge in Summer, fair enough they do dangerous speeds but as a car lover/enthusiast, seeing this level of serious metal on the roads is glorious. Yes they rev but they're having fun - I can see how it would annoy locals but the sound of ferraris resonating off London buildings is glorious, let them have their fun I say, albeit responsibly and perhaps put noise regulations in place after certain hours?

I agree that the noise level is a tad excessive, however as Panda said "just need to live with it for three months..."
