Ok, as you know i have a passion for cars, supercars are a “modern men’s dream”, anyway, London downtown is not the best place to ride a 600 hp car, but even in rue du Rhône in Geneva (where supercars are at every road corner) you will never see so many supercars cruising in the same time. The guy who shot this video was really excited, i can understand, it seems that he cannot keep focused on one car at a time, this make this video hard to watch, you also can have a listen to it if you like to hear V12 engine. Who’s said we are in a world economic crisis ?
By now most car lovers are probably more than aware of the hypercar motorshow that is taking place in central London; specifically around Harrods in Knightsbridge.
This summer as ever there is a huge influx of some of the world’s most exclusive and rarest cars, for example this summer we have seen so far a Veyron Sang Noir, a Zonda Cinque Roadster, a Koenigsegg CCXR “Special One”, Novitec Rosso Ferrari 599 Fiorano, 5x Lamborghini LP670-4SVs, and countless other exotic cars.
However it is perhaps normal to spot a few of these cars driving around in any given evening in this area of the city, but I will not quickly forget this evening; Friday 16th July, when in just 2 hours between 7.30 and 9.30 pm all of the these clips were shot.
here is a non-complete list of the cars included:
Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir
Bugatti Veyron Chrome/Beige
McLaren Mercedes SLR Silver/Black
McLaren Mercedes SLR 772S Matt Black
Lamborghini LP670-4SV Matt Pink
Lamborghini LP670-4SV Matt Purple
Lamborghini LP670-4SV Yellow
Lamborghini LP670-4SV Red
Novitec Rosso Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
Koenigsegg CCXR “Special One”
FAB Design Porsche Panamera
FAB Design Mercedes SL Ultimate
Ferrari 458 Italia Rosso Corsa
Mercedes SLS Matt White
Lamborghini LP560-4 White
Ferrari F430 Scuderia
Maybach 62S Matt Orange
Lamborghini Diablo VT Purple
And almost countless Ferrari 599s, Rolls Royce Phantoms, Audi R8s and other luxury cars. I doubt it will be quite so crowded in such a short space of time again this year so I hope you enjoy the video; take a look at my YouTube channel too if you are interested in seeing more of these cars!

THE LONDON DUNGEON’S ADVERTISING DEEMED
TOO DISTRESSING FOR THE CAPITAL
13th July 2010 – Leading scare attraction, The London Dungeon is confounded by the ASA’s decision to pull an interactive London Underground ad campaign for its latest attraction because it is deemed too scary for the public.
Promoting the attraction’s newest feature, which tells the gruesome story of Bloody Mary Tudor, the campaign at the centre of the furore showed a sequence of moving images which turned Henry VIII’s notorious daughter from a stately medieval Queen to terrifyingly ghoulish Queen. The Advertising Standards Association (ASA) ruled the ad was in breach of CAP Code clause 9.1 and could cause fear and distress.
“We’re in the business of scaring with a historical twist and we pride ourselves on advertising that is provocative and edgy” General Manager Nicola Ratcliffe commented: “However we are amazed by the ASA’s decision. Indeed, we worked closely with all the necessary bodies to ensure our Bloody Mary advertising met all the required criteria. Undoubtedly the sight of a regal monarch morphing into a monstrous figure is an arresting one and was intended to grab attention. However, we are totally confounded by this decision. It seems a total over reaction to a tiny number of complaints and can certainly not be representative of a consensus of opinion.”
The ASA’s decision was in response to just four complaints but the Dungeon’s appeal against the decision was overruled.
A similar complaint from the National Blood Donation Service about a previous campaign, was lodged last year, but was successfully defended and rejected.
