Re: Emirati boy racers in London
Inevitably the rotor tips failed on the RX7 (even though they said they'd cured the problem by that model); Mazda agreed to supply and fit a new engine, which they did but the car caught fire and was destroyed during the garage's test drive
I had a Boss Mustang (the actual pace car for the Indy 500) which was "stolen" and used in a bank robbery.
My Dutton Phaeton caught fire, but unfortunately wasn't destroyed--I was trying to sell it at the time. Dodgy wiring. Mine.
There have been others...

STUPID idiots (oops its Ramadan) ok silly little spoilt rich boys, rumour has it that one of them works in the police, if that is the case he has just lost his job for sure.
I just dont get the mentality of shipping a car to the UK for the price they pay to take it there they can hire something similar for the same price.

Wankel's a great engine, just a great pity that they never eked out the theoretical efficiency. Had mine up to 140mph on the A14...

Yeah, LHD with big muck off decals on the bonnet and down the sides. And a puny petrol tank that would last less than 100 miles if I really played...

I was always amazed to see mopeds on it around the Cambridge area.

English people complaining about foreigners breaking the law when abroad? That must be the definition of ironic

"Reading all this news made me remember a quote by the late Sheikh Zayed, in which he said: “The biggest advice I can give Emiratis is to stay away from arrogance.” Driving vehicles dangerously and without insurance as well as a total disregard for the law are symptoms of the arrogance and overconfidence that Sheikh Zayed warned us about."

Re: Emirati boy racers in London
The Shun supporting speed limits and not being all matey when it comes to boys in sports cars?
Let me guess, are they nasty foireigners? oh yes... what a surprise.
A pinch of tall poppy syndrome, a dash of racism, and top it off with undisguised mockneyism. Served on a bed of jealousy. Yum!!!
