Wasn't aware that was the current of thought in the UK, it seemed quite the opposite when I went there once: super cars pretty much everywhere on the streets. Of all kinds and brands...

So I guess there are many twats around there? Cheesy

As for staying under the radar... Agreed Wink

Compared to almost any other country I've been to, the UK is heaving with top end cars. In comparison in Europe or the US you might spot a fancy car every couple of days if you're lucky.

It's not down to wealth as much as a love of outrageous amounts of credit. I think the UK is the world's most personally indebted economy by a long way.

A supercar in London is just part of the landscape. Elsewhere it's open season from jealous dick heads. Brits do not like or encourage overt displays of success.

Seriously though, they can't all be rich surely?

Nope it's all on the never never. Look at all the finance options on the table for the average car buyer here. In France you can barely get the bank to hand over a credit card with a couple of hundred Euro limit.

Didn't know it was usual in the UK to have such huge car loans

Now I see that many people are living above and beyond their possibilities.

I thought the population there actually had quite a bit more money than the average european person, but I guess that's just hear say.
