Who says the middle east is infested with terrorism? :-)
Middle East' affluent head to UK for the summer with their supercars and 6x6(s)!
With temperatures soaring in the Middle East, rich Arabs have once again headed to the United Kingdom for the summer.
Luxury and sports cars have once again flooded the streets of London, a favourite destination among Middle Eastern travellers.
Londoners, who consider the flashy rides an
eyesore, have taken to social media to post photos and videos of the
supercars, driving around or parked in all their glory.
The Middle East's affluent spare no expense,
paying in excess of £20,000 for a return journey - for their metal
marvels to be flown around 3,000 miles, and often leave them parked up
on the streets of London, the Daily Mail reported.
Most of the fancy rides spotted are flown in
from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Kuwait - considered among the top
richest countries in the region.
From a chrome Mercedes-Benz McLaren to a
silver Lamborghini Aventador, the luxury supercars are among hundreds
which have been flown into the UK from the Middle East.
Local parking wardens were spotted descending
on the supercars in Knightsbridge this afternoon, handing out fines
which may never be paid.
According to the Daily Mail, Qatar Airways is
one such airline that ships the luxury cars. Using their main and lower
deck, the airline offers 31 positions on each flight.
In recent years, Londoners have reportedly
complained to authorities about the noise these supercars create, apart
from blocking parking spaces and causing traffic.
According to a recent report by The Sun, since
the drivers rack up thousands in fines, multi-millionaire Arabs have
been offered "50 per cent discount" if they pay their fines within 14 days, under the the Traffic Management Act 2004.
